Thanks to its sophisticated design and proven technology, the device is suitable for users who want to maintain high hygiene standards and rely on a chemical-free approach. Similar to the [Hoenle surface disinfection MDUV 15], the power of UV-C radiation proves to be an effective method for reducing germs, viruses, yeasts and mold spores.
Highly effective UV-C technology for maximum hygiene
The UV-C technology used in this cabinet enables short disinfection times by reliably minimizing microbiological contamination. No chemical additives are used at all, making the technology particularly environmentally friendly. The cabinet can be used either in meat processing areas such as sausage factories or in fish processing, where every quality advantage is important. As no residues remain on the treated items, the UV-C method is ideal for sensitive production chains. Compared to conventional disinfection methods, the low operating costs and relatively simple maintenance requirements are also impressive.
Design and equipment
The appliance is made of high-quality stainless steel (V2A), which makes it robust and easy to clean. An integrated timer allows the disinfection duration to be controlled, ensuring optimum irradiation depending on the degree of stress on the knives. Thanks to its handy form factor, the cabinet also fits into confined kitchen or production areas and can be mounted directly on the wall if required.

Reliable UV-C disinfection without chemicals
The physical mode of action means that no chemicals are released during the surface disinfection process. This is particularly relevant in areas where hygiene regulations are strictly controlled and negative influences on food and the environment need to be avoided. UV-C rays penetrate the DNA of germs in a matter of seconds and inactivate their ability to multiply. This results in a sustainable reduction in contamination, which is essential for germ-free further processing.
Application areas in practice
- In butcher's shops or butcher's shops: After cutting and cleaning, low-germ knives ensure greater product safety.
- In commercial kitchens and canteens: Contamination on cutting equipment can be effectively reduced with a short disinfection time.
- When handling sensitive foods such as fish: UV-C treatment prevents germs from multiplying on surfaces.
- In laboratories or production facilities: The cabinet can also be used for smaller hygienic tools that require chemical-free disinfection.
Certifications and standards
The compact disinfection cabinet meets all current requirements for electrical and hygienic operation in appropriate working environments. UV-C systems are often manufactured in accordance with strict standards to ensure trouble-free use in the food industry. Users benefit from the manufacturer's quality assurance, which enables consistently high disinfection performance.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
