With UVC surface disinfection, packaging materials, tools and food products are disinfected quickly and reliably – in a dry process without heat exposure or unwanted additives and residues.

Reliable UVC surface disinfection of food products as well as packaging materials and tools

The flow-through lock for UVC surface disinfection was developed in close cooperation with KRONEN's partner sterilAir®. The UVC Lock is a reliable and quick solution for reducing surface contamination during transfer to the hygiene area. Dry disinfection takes place without heat exposure and without undesirable additives or residues. The highly efficient UVC technology leads to excellent disinfection performance with a short contact time. This also results in the compact design of the machine and its practical use, even for heat-sensitive products.

The products are brought onto the conveyor belt manually or in a processing line via the infeed belt and are guided through a screened area with UVC emitter tubes. The UVC Lock enables disinfection from all sides, while the efficient arrangement of the UVC emitters ensures a virtually complete radiation area. The stainless steel mesh conveyor belt ensures the minimum possible shading of the product from below. At the belt outfeed, the disinfected product is discharged, for example into the high-care area.

A wide range of application options:

The UVC Lock is frequently used for the surface disinfection of boxes, tools, packaging materials (e.g. buckets or cans), outer packaging of food products (e.g. sausages), and fruit and vegetable products before further processing, e.g. cabbages or pre-peeled onions and carrots.

The capacity depends on the product and the contact time, which determines the degree of germ reduction. Cabbages, for example, can be disinfected at a rate of up to 3,000 kg/h at belt speeds of 0.05 to 0.3 m/s. If transport boxes (600 x 400 mm) are used, this figure increases to up to 900 units per hour at a belt speed of 0.2 m/s.

Please note: The disinfection of food products depends on the country-specific statutory regulations.

As the top model of the KRONEN vegetable and lettuce spin-dryers, the KS-100 PLUS offers an ergonomic design, a counter-rotating centrifuge cycle and 99 program memory locations for the efficient drying of lettuce, vegetables, fruit and many more food products.

Optimal spinning results and hygiene PLUS user-friendly operation

The KS-100 PLUS is used by customers worldwide to spin-dry a wide variety of products, from lettuce to cut vegetables and fruit through to canned products, pickled food products or caviar. The KS-100 PLUS vegetable and lettuce spin-dryer can be integrated into processing lines or used as a stand-alone machine. As a component of processing lines, it is positioned downstream of the washing process, after which the washed products are filled into the spin baskets and manually placed into the KS-100 PLUS.

The robust, open design enables

• ergonomic operation due to the low lift-in height
• optimal hygiene: no dirt traps due to screws etc. in the spinning area
• easy water drainage for an optimal spin-drying result

The spin-dryer is suitable for processing lettuce, herbs, cut fruit and vegetables and many other products. For example, it also reduces the draining times of canned products such as mushrooms and pickled vegetables or even defrosted products. Other food products such as prawns, caviar (substitute) or even sesame seeds can also be dewatered/dried with the spin-dryer. Mesh inserts for the spin baskets are optionally available for fine-particle products. Depending on the product, the machine achieves high capacities and a low residual moisture in the products.

up to 1,250 kg/h Max. capacity

Automatic weighing of up to ten product components according to preset recipes – up to 99 recipe mixtures can be individually set. The weighing belt is especially designed for mixing salads and vegetables according to customized recipes.

Precise weighing of vegetable and salad products according to selectable recipe mixtures

The recipe weighing belt offers the option of weighing up to ten product components according to specified recipes. Up to 99 individual recipe mixtures can be stored using the touch panel, thus always ensuring up-to-date recipes and a consistently good quality of the mixing ratios.

Operation is very easy and user-friendly. The touch panel is used to set the recipes for the batch weighing of the mixed products. Once the target weight has been reached, the weight of the next product is displayed. Here, the software also offers the option of inverted weighing, which enables the operator to begin the next batch with the last component of the previous batch. The recipe weighing belt is equipped with a tapping frame that enables the emptying of crates of raw materials.

The robust system is designed especially for use in the automated processing of food products. The recipe weighing belt can be optimally integrated into various process flows. In combination with a ascending conveyor belt, for example, the product mixtures can be fed to a downstream GEWA washing machine or packaging line.

Versatile, efficient and proven: the multifunctional machine for the precise and gentle cutting of a wide variety of food products including lettuce, vegetables and fruit, in very large quantities.

Versatile and with a high output: up to 4,000 kg of product per hour cut precisely and gently

The GS 20 is used for cutting, pulling/shredding and grating an extremely wide variety of products in large quantities. The multifunctional belt slicer can flexibly cut many types of food products: lettuce, vegetables, fruit, herbs, meat, cold meats, fish, vegan substitute products and baked goods. Just like the GS 10-2, it is therefore ideal for a wide range of applications and sectors. It processes even higher capacities: depending on the product and cutting type, up to 4,000 kilograms of product per hour.

Versatile application options:

The cutting machine can be used flexibly for various applications, for example:

• Cutting cooked chicken breast into slices
• Cutting cabanossi or bockwurst sausage into slices
• Cutting cooked meat into strips or pulling it apart to make "pulled beef"
• Cutting or shredding fish, for example salmon
• Cutting or shredding vegan meat substitutes
• Cutting iceberg lettuce into strips or shreds
• Cutting cabbage into strips or shreds
• Grating carrots or cutting them into sticks or slices

Used in thousands of applications, successful worldwide: the multifunctional machine cuts almost all food products – including lettuce, vegetables and fruit, of course - effectively, precisely and gently.

Versatile and effective food cutting: up to 1,500 kg per hour in perfect quality

The GS 10-2 is a belt cutting machine for slicing, grating, rasping and dicing and is one of KRONEN’s flagship models. The multifunctional belt slicer allows users to cut virtually all kinds of food: salad leaves, vegetables, fruit, herbs, meat, cooked meat, fish, vegan substitutes, baked goods, cheese and nuts. This makes it ideally suitable for an extremely wide range of applications and sectors. Depending on the product and cutting type, the GS 10-2 processes up to 1,500 kg of product per hour.
