The world's most advanced and efficient systems
Queicoa has developed the world's most efficient ultraviolet disinfection technology for opaque liquids. We can treat milk, wine, brines, animal plasma, soft drinks, cheese whey, permeate, juices and others with excellent results. The process achieves a logarithmic reduction equivalent to pasteurisation, preserving the organoleptic qualities of the product and obtaining energy savings of between 80 and 90%.
UV technology reduces reliance on chemicals in disinfection processes, which is extremely beneficial from both a sustainability and food safety perspective.
UV treatment
Our systems are the culmination of many years of research and development.
Inactivation of microorganisms
UV disinfection is highly effective in eliminating a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses and protozoa. UV light damages the DNA or RNA of these microorganisms, preventing their ability to reproduce and inactivating them. Our systems eliminate temperature-resistant bacteria and spores, such as Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris and Pseudomona fluorescens.
Energy savings
In order to treat opaque liquids such as milk, a pasteurisation process is necessary, in which the product is subjected to high temperatures to prevent bacterial growth. This is very energy-intensive, as generating heat permanently requires a lot of resources. Our equipment reduces energy costs by 80% to 90%, thanks to the low power consumption of UV lamps and their outstanding efficiency in multiple environments.
Fast action
UV disinfection works instantly. No long contact time is needed, making it ideal for applications where fast disinfection is required, such as liquid treatment.
The world's most efficient technology
Up to 90% energy savings
Transmittances of less than 2%
Minimum maintenance
Our systems need minimal maintenance, requiring only 2 hours every year and a half. This reduces operating costs and interruptions in the application of UV doses.
16,000h uninterrupted
The lamps of our systems can be constantly in operation, even adjusting the UV dosage according to the liquid to be treated. A lifetime of up to 16,000 hours guarantees functional longevity and minimal lamp replacements.
Guaranteed quality
Our systems comply with the most demanding standards of the pharmaceutical industry by making all liquid conduits in electropolished 316L stainless steel with a roughness of less than 0.4ra.
All kinds of
Liquid
Sodas
With the addition of UV disinfection equipment in the production of sodas we succeeded in the efficient inactivation of microorganisms while ensuring the safety and the optimal taste of any refreshing drink. The technical innovation lies in the disinfection without the use of chemicals, which preserves the quality and freshness of the drinks.
Juices
Our investment in ultraviolet technology of last generation ensures that the juices produced are safe for consumption, complying with the strictest standards. To reduce our dependence on chemicals in the disinfection process, not only improve our sustainability, but we also protect the freshness and flavor of natural juices.
Dairy
Through the use of computers ultraviolet high-efficiency, we achieve the effective elimination of pathogenic microorganisms, in compliance with regulatory requirements and food safety standards that are more demanding. The UV treatment allows to reduce the microbiological load without resorting to chemicals and, at the same time, prolong the shelf life of dairy products.
