The MD3S provides safe, effective and reliable UVC disinfection of knives, including a wet treatment for removal of residues. These units are perfect for cutting and slaughter lines, butchers as well as commercial and industrial kitchens. This solution has been verified with our DVG listing certificate confirming that the MD3S process for the decontamination of knife surfaces using UV radiation (UV-C 254nm), including water rinsing and an exposure time of 30 seconds has a comparable bactericidal effectiveness (≥ 4 lg) to a hot water treatment at 82°C. The process is chemical free and is based on purely physical principles.
