UV Food Preservation

How does it kill bacteria, mold and decay producing agents?

Bluezone Model 2400 is designed to keep refrigeration environments free of damaging contaminants and extend the shelf life of produce. Ultraviolet enhanced oxidation destroys contaminants such as ethylene, mold, bacteria and odors. Eliminates 99.9% of mold and bacteria as well as ethylene gas in walk-in refrigerators to extend shelf life and reduce waste.

Food Preservation

The Bluezone by Middleby Food Preservation units utilize a balance of ultraviolet radiation at 185nm and 254nm to kill airborne contaminants to enhance the shelf-life of perishable food items. The Food Preservation units are designed to be installed in full-size walk-ins refrigeration and coolers. To achieve maximum shelf-life, Bluezone attacks airborne contaminants differently. Some airborne contaminants such as ethylene are converted to H2O and CO2 via an oxidation process, while others such as fungus-like powdery mildew or botrytis are killed instantly with Bluezone’s self-contained ultraviolet light and ozone.

Reduce Food Waste

Model 2400 works by drawing air into a self-contained reaction chamber and killing contaminants with ultraviolet enhanced oxidation. To achieve maximum kill-rate, Bluezone attacks airborne contaminants. Ethylene is converted to H2O and CO2 via an oxidation process. Oxidation and ultraviolet irradiation happen completely inside the reaction chamber, which is engineered to address the specific microbial and chemical contaminants in refrigerated storage. Bluezone is CARB certified for ozone emissions: ozone is kept inside the Bluezone reaction chamber.

Bluezone by Middleby works in a wide range of applications

The last year has taught us that clean air is needed in pretty much any type of indoor setting. From hotel lobbies to factory warehouses, when a business or organization can create a safer environment, it becomes more attractive to both potential customers and staff. Consider Bluezone by Middleby in the following types of operations:
