Mold contamination is one of the most challenging problems in food production and packaging. In humid, warm workshop environments, mold spores easily spread through the air, adhering to product surfaces or packaging materials, leading to mold growth, shortened shelf life, and even food safety incidents and mass recalls. So, how can food factories effectively solve mold problems during production and packaging?
Where does mold come from?
Mold spores are widely present in the air; they are tiny, lightweight, and can remain suspended in the air for extended periods. The high humidity and suitable temperature in food workshops provide an ideal breeding ground for mold. If air sterilization in the workshop is inadequate, mold can spread through the air circulation system to the production line, packaging area, and finished product surfaces, causing cross-contamination.
Core Solution: Air Disinfection Machine
To cut off the airborne transmission path of mold, the key is continuous and efficient sterilization of the workshop air. WONE ceiling-mounted/wall-mounted air sterilizers (AUT/AUW series) are professional equipment designed specifically to address this pain point.
Dual Sterilization: The equipment employs both ultraviolet (UV) and ozone (O₃) disinfection technologies. An internal controller precisely controls UV intensity and ozone concentration, effectively killing airborne microorganisms such as mold, bacteria, and fungi.
24/7 Operation: In manned environments, the UV mode continuously disinfects the air without disrupting production. In unmanned environments, the UV + ozone mode ensures thorough disinfection without any blind spots, leaving no space for mold to hide.
Rapid Air Circulation: Equipped with a high-speed fan and an efficient airflow design, the equipment rapidly circulates air throughout the workshop, continuously removing airborne mold spores without requiring external ventilation.
Harsh Environment Adaptability: The equipment can operate safely in environments ranging from 5-45℃ and with ≤85% humidity. It is also suitable for humid environments, making it ideal for the specific conditions of food processing workshops.
Adaptability to Harsh Environments: Flexible installation and customizable configurations: The ceiling-mounted (AUT-200/AUT-300) model features a quick-release ceiling hook design, while the wall-mounted (AUW-50B1/AUW-100B1) model uses a quick-release wall mount design. Both can be flexibly combined to cover the entire production and packaging area, depending on the size of the space.
Solving mold problems in food factories requires more than just post-production cleaning; it's crucial to address the source—mold spores in the air. The WONE air purifier, through dual sterilization with UV + ozone, high-speed air circulation, and a safe design for human-machine coexistence, provides a 24/7, comprehensive air hygiene defense for food production and packaging, eliminating mold contamination at its source and ensuring product quality and food safety.
