A British coleslaw and ready meal manufacturer has recently installed KRONEN´s UVC Lock lines in its food processing production to ensure the vegetables are in a hygienic condition before the next processing steps e.g. peeling carrots or cutting cabbage and onions*. This results in the surface of up to 3000 kg of vegetable being efficiently disinfected without heat exposure and without leaving residue on the product.
