Pulsed Xenon Irradiation Device
For food processing and packaging
We have developed a low-cost, space-saving pulsed xenon irradiation device that helps improve sanitation in food and beverage processing while supporting HACCP compliance. The device was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under 21 CFR Part 179 for food irradiation in 1996.
Characteristics
- It has enabled high level sterilization (especially effective for molds) in a short time (immediate). Also it's instantaneous so it has less oxidation deterioration to the object.
- Compact and space saving (Easy to mount).
- Doesn't require shutter mechanism to shut down the irradiation due to the Instant and stable lighting
- Less heat effect on working object
- No metals such as mercury in the lamp so it's easy on the environment and safe.
Use Examples
- Caps, can lids, dessert containers, petri dishes, cups, etc.
- Packaging film
- Foods such as rice cakes, bread, and eggs
Use Examples by Light Energy
Example of sterilization effect
- Target bacteria
- Bacillus subtilis (Spores)
- Initial number of bacteria
- 1.5 × 10³CFU

- * This is an experiment result of a flat light distribution type irradiator.
- * It is also possible to obtain a higher sterilization effect by controlling the light distribution according to the shape of the working object.
