EXB

UVC ceiling unit
with protective cover

The sterilAir EXB is a UVC ceiling device for mould prevention and air disinfection in the food industry, generates a germicidal UVC radiation field in the overhead area and is moisture-resistant thanks to its robust stainless steel construction. The low-maintenance, chemical-free system is particularly suitable for rooms with existing air circulation, such as storage, refrigeration and production rooms, and reduces cleaning costs and the risk of contamination.

Mould-free ceilings

In food processing, processes such as cooking, washing, cooling and regular cleaning generate a high level of moisture. In some rooms, this moisture is generated intentionally, for example in maturing or storage rooms, to prevent products from drying out. The moisture rises with the warm air, condenses on the ceiling and creates ideal conditions for mould growth, the spores of which can spread through the air.

This is precisely where the sterilAir EXB steps in: It emits germicidal UVC light upwards, which effectively prevents mould growth. At the same time, the air flowing past is continuously sterilised without affecting the products below or occupational safety.

Ideal in ripening rooms or cold
rooms with existing air circulation

Saves costs for time-consuming
cleaning or refurbishment of the ceiling

More hygiene and safety

The device suspended from the ceiling radiates only upwards, while a stainless steel screen shields the area below so that no people or products are exposed to radiation. This design enables a double effect: disinfection of the circulating air and the ceiling surface to prevent mould using UVC.

The stand-alone ceiling unit is easy to install, ready for immediate use and combines the effectiveness of the D series with the modular design of the E series (IP65). Made of stainless steel, it is robust, withstands condensation, waterlogging and intensive cleaning and fulfils the highest requirements of food processing.

Flexible mould prevention
for every application

In contrast to recirculation units, EXB are passive systems and are particularly suitable for rooms with active air circulation or for those in which a strong air flow is not desired. They do not change the room climate or the ventilation, which makes them flexible in use.

The sterilAir EXB is ideal if the focus of UVC disinfection is on mould prevention on the ceiling. It can also be used in combination with the UVR-4K or UVR-XS to utilise the strengths of both systems. There are many possible applications: EXBs are used in warehouses, food processing production rooms, bakeries and in maturing, sweating and storage rooms for cheese, meat and sausage products.
