Disinfection of knives and honing steel is a necessary and mandatory processing procedure that instruments must undergo to comply with sanitary and hygienic standards. It is also a critically important indicator that affects the product’s quality and shelf life. The most popular model on the Ukrainian market is the UFS-1 ultraviolet sterilizer for various knife types and honing steel with an inclined lid, which is designed for 15 large or small knives and honing steel. The industrial sterilizer is made entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel. It has magnetic holders for the instruments being processed, which provides significant ease of use.
Issues of sanitary safety are equally acute for both small and large food industry enterprises, as well as for a dairy kitchen, a meat processing plant, and a confectionery shop.
Our company offers sterilizers with different types of disinfection like UV light, hot water, and various performance levels. They are popular among stores and small industries because their main advantage is the compactness and comfort of use. The larger production facilities prefer sterilizers for knives in baskets (on meat deboning lines) or automatic tunnel-type machines designed to wash and sterilize knives in holders (baskets). Our baskets washing machines for knives and honing steel have a productivity of 15-30 holders per minute. The process is divided into phases: washing – rinsing – sterilization. The water is recycled and can be heated using either heating elements or steam.
Washing baskets with instruments can be implemented like a sink with a special holder for baskets; they are washed from blood and meat residues before the sterilization process.
Our assortment also includes industrial water sterilizers for tool baskets of 5 to 20 baskets. At the end of each shift, at the meat processing plant (meat deboning line), the instruments of each workshop employee are sterilized.
One cannot help but recall an integral attribute of any slaughter and cutting shop: a sterilizer for knives and saws. Small water sterilizers with 4 knives and 2 honing steel are installed in different areas on pork and cattle slaughter lines. It allows the line operators to regularly change the knives and thereby sterility them while the line is running. Also, the saws water sterilizers are installed on the slaughter lines, in the areas where cattle sternums are slaughtered, and cattle or pig carcasses are sawed up. After each cycle, the operator installs the saw into the sterilizer.
