SAFELY DESTROY HIDDEN PATHOGENS IN
FOOD PROCESSING AND MANUFACTURING FACILITIES

Bacteria, in particular Listeria, thrive in damp, dark environments like those in process and machine control panels and enclosures.

THE RISK OF CROSS CONTAMINATION IS REAL

Every time a control panel is opened for inspection, repair or adjustment, there is a potential to spread pathogens from a contaminated area to other surfaces in the facility, including food contact surfaces. This may result in contaminated products, product recalls or outbreaks.


EPIC Panel Sterilight automatically provides the scientifically-proven amount of UV-C light and ozone to control pathogens and mitigate cross-contamination from control panels.

THE COMBINATION OF UV-C AND OZONE DESTROYS PATHOGENS

According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), “UV-C (ultraviolet light in wavelengths 200-280 nm) is a known disinfectant for air, water, and nonporous surfaces.” UV-C has been used in hospitals and operating rooms for decades.

The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports “Ozone has been used for years as a drinking water disinfectant.” Ozone is created by 185 nm UV-V.

EPIC Panel Sterilight’s broad-spectrum UV bulbs produce both ozone and UV-C, allowing for elimination of control panel pathogens below detectable levels.

 

 

EPIC PANEL STERILIGHT PROVIDES SUPERIOR PATHOGEN CONTROL AND SAFETY COMPARED TO MOST COMMON ALTERNATIVES AND MANUAL CLEANING

Alternatives require the periodic, manual application of a hazardous chemical. In contrast, EPIC Panel Sterilight:

  • Uses no dangerous chemicals
  • Automates the process, ensuring daily pathogen abatement
  • Reduces labor and on-going costs
  • Avoids corrosion to metallic components and contacts

 

EASY TO INSTALL AND OPERATE

EPIC Panel Sterilight from SmartWash Solutions installs inside any electronic control panel and provides an automated, hands free treatment precisely designed to kill environmental pathogens, including Listeria, while minimizing impact or degradation on sensitive plastic or electronic components.

  • Universal retrofit application
  • Easy to install
  • Can be plugged into outlet or hard-wired by an electrician
  • Safety mechanism prevents human exposure to UV-C
  • Multiple hurdle application mitigates cross-contamination from control panels
  • Long-lasting, low-cost replacement bulbs
