UV-DIRECT-K-NX is composed of:

UV-DIRECT-K-NX series with direct radiation includes different models of ceiling lamps, according to the UV-C lamp powers and IP protection degree 55, with or without grounding.UV-DIRECT-K-NX has a stainless steel structure and is equipped with a power cord 2.5 m long, without plug. UV-DIRECT-K-NX can be equipped with special control board for operational control, which, especially in the case of installation of several units, can handle switching on and off, input security check in the room treated, failure alarm and hour-couter.  UV-DIRECT-K-NX is ready to use and does not require any special maintenance, except for the periodical replacement of the lamps. UV-DIRECT-K-NX is entirely manufactured in Italy, with high quality and extremely resistant materials.

UV-DIRECT-K-NX

UV-DIRECT-K-NX allows deep air and surface disinfection in any type of food environment.  Traditional cleaning methods are, often, not sufficient to ensure high levels of hygiene, which can be achieved only by the use of UV-C technology. As a matter of fact, environments where food in processed need to be disinfected to keep high hygiene and quality standards, typical of this sector. With UV-DIRECT-K-NX, it is possible to achieve disinfection of production, packaging, storage areas, etc. in a simple, immediate and safe way, without developing heat, without the use of liquids and chemicals and without any contraindications.  UV-DIRECT-K-NX is equipped with a UV-C lamp, line is destined to be recessed in the false-ceiling (or recessed in the wall) allowing finishing on the same level, with minimal protrusions. The device can be switched on during work breaks, always when the staff is not present, so it radiates surfaces, which are then disinfected. In environments, the natural recirculation of the currents also allows air treatment, which, purified by the microbial load, creates the ideal environment for production, process and preservation of food.  It is shown how, in the food industry, an increased hygiene level allows a consequent and general increase of product quality.UV-DIRECT-K-NX achieves the elimination (99%) of bacteria such as Bacillus, E. Coli, Clostridium, Legionella, Vibrio, Salmonella, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus, etc. in just a few minutes of operation. High disinfection levels of UV-DIRECT-K-NX can be otherwise achieved but only with chemicals, hazardous to health and harmful to the environment, as well as costly.

F.A.Q.

Ultraviolet rays are electromagnetic waves which are part of light. Electromagnetic waves are divided into three main wavelength bands, expressed in nanometers, nm: Ultraviolet rays (UV) 100-400 nm Visible rays (light) 400-700 nm Infrared rays (IR) 700-800,000 nm UV rays are in turn identified in three bands:

  • UV-A (315-400 nm) with tanning properties;
  • UV-B (280-315 nm) con proprietà terapeutiche e di sintesi della vitamina "D";
  • UV-C (100-280 nm) with germicidal properties.

UV-C rays (100-280 nm) have a strong germicidal effect and reach their maximum efficacy at the 265 nm wavelength. The germicidal effect of UV-C radiation covers bacteria, viruses, spores, fungi, moulds and mites; this is mainly due to the destructive effect of the UV-C rays on their DNA, which damage their reproductive system and prevent them from replicating.

Bacteria, Viruses, Spores, Fungi, Mould, and Mites are all sensitive to, and can therefore be eliminated with, UV-C light. Mircrobes cannot acquire resistance to UV-C light, unlike that which occurs using chemical disinfectants and antibiotics. UV rays are ecological. Polluting the environment is inevitable using normal disinfectants. Directly inhaling the vapours, or swallowing food products contaminated by any contact with said chemical disinfectants, can also give rise to a number of serious risks. In cases where chemical disinfectants cannot be eliminated (food, pharmaceutical, healthcare industries, etc.), using ultraviolet rays for disinfection allows a reduction in their use, with considerable economic savings and greater care for the environment, while maintaining and almost always improving the level of disinfection. UV-C light devices can be installed in environments and on machinery and be programmed to maintain the same level of disinfection day and night, guaranteeing ideal hygiene conditions, without highs and lows. On the contrary, chemical disinfectants are effective only during their actual use. Using LIGHT PROGRESS equipped luminaires, operating costs are negligible; it could be said that “LIGHT PROGRESS” UV-C systems do not require maintenance except for the normal replacement of the lamps. The cost/benefit ratio is considered excellent; the devices are both powerful and long-lasting. Hence the elimination of germs using UV-C technology is low-cost and highly effective compared to (or in combination with) other systems.

UV-C really does work when applied correctly and with the necessary precautions. The difference between a quality project and an unsuccessful application is in-depth knowledge and experience gained over time. Since 1987, Light Progress has been carrying out successful projects all over the world and has acquired a clientele of major companies in all sectors that require verified hygienic conditions to produce quality products and services.
