Kurt Heinrich Kemink GmbH & Co. KG
Innovative hygiene
thanks to UVC technology
Kurt Heinrich Kemink GmbH & Co KG in Duisburg has the primary goal of maintaining hygiene standards in all areas. With the Swiss UVC specialist, sterilAir AG, the company has found a competent partner to break new ground with UVC technology and successfully close hygiene gaps.
UVC belt disinfection
closes hygiene gaps
As an expert in meat packing, Kurt Heinrich Kemink GmbH & Co KG from Duisburg has been supplying meat processors, food retailers and restaurants as well as food service companies with high-quality meat for decades. By using the T2018 belt disinfection system from sterilAir, the company is setting new standards in terms of hygiene. This innovative UVC technology not only promises effective surface disinfection, but also ensures consistent product hygiene and quality.
«Food safety culture is becoming more and more of a focus and, with increasing requirements, the topic of hygiene concepts with UVC disinfection is becoming more and more important in order to keep the bacterial load on the cutting belts constantly low. Everything that comes into direct contact with our products and therefore influences their shelf life is of great importance to us. Since using the T2018 UVC belt disinfection system, we are closing hygiene gaps even better and can therefore meet our targets.»
Uwe Hannover, Quality Manager at Kurt Heinrich Kemink GmbH & Co. KG.
Efficient UVC disinfection solutions
for increasing requirements
Before working with sterilAir, there were no in-process disinfection solutions in the meat packing plant. The hygiene precautions were based on internal operational analyses and cleaning and disinfection plans drawn up on this basis. The cleaning staff were trained accordingly.
Increasing requirements prompted Kurt Heinrich Kemink GmbH & Co KG to find efficient UVC disinfection solutions, especially for cutting belts, and they were prepared to break new ground. A partner for customised hygiene solutions was found in the Swiss company sterilAir AG and a suitable concept was developed. The use of the T2018 belt disinfection system has proven to be an excellent solution that fully meets the high requirements for maintaining hygiene.
Keeping the total bacterial
count low with UVC technology
Production downtime and component failures do not just mean costly delays. When the cutting belts are at a standstill, the risk of germs on the product increases. By using the sterilAir T2018 belt disinfection system, the belt surfaces are disinfected during the production process – without chemicals, residues or contact.
The use of sterilAir belt disinfection systems effectively prevents contact and smear infections of meat cuts. There is no accumulation of microbiology during the production day, as the disinfection of the belts is continuous. The microbiology of the meat on the conveyor system is stabilised, which ultimately leads to perfect production hygiene and ensures the shelf life of the cuts.
«With the installation of the UVC belt disinfection system from sterilAir, we have found an excellent solution that meets our high standards for maintaining hygiene in our company. Since the belt disinfection systems have been installed, we have an even better TBC value with more stability. Our test results confirm this time and time again and we are therefore very satisfied.»
Uwe Hannover, Quality manager at Kurt Heinrich Kemink GmbH & Co. KG
The T2018 belt disinfection system
– robust and IP69K tested
After the end of the shift, when all belts are at a standstill, cleaning is carried out with a germ-reducing foam. All devices and materials must be able to withstand the use of high-pressure cleaners. The installed T2018 belt disinfection systems from sterilAir are robust and IP69K tested. They can withstand the intensive cleaning in the meat packing and food industry. Kurt Heinrich Kemink GmbH & Co KG has had very good experience with the combination of cleaning and continuous UVC belt disinfection.
User-friendliness and
safety in a complete package
The T2018 belt disinfection system from sterilAir can be quickly and easily integrated into existing meat packing lines or meat processing plants thanks to its simple yet effective two point mounting style. Installing the belt disinfection systems under the conveyor and cutting belts is simple and straightforward. Tube units can also be replaced in no time at all. The shatter-proof UVC tube units of the sterilAir devices fulfil the HACCP requirements as well as the operational requirements of the meat packing industry.
«Looking back, I can say that taking the new path with sterilAir's UVC technology was one of our best decisions. We have had very good experiences with it. The results have been more than positive and the bacterial load has been very low ever since. By using the T2018 belt disinfection system from sterilAir, we have found an excellent hygiene solution that meets our high standards for maintaining hygiene in our company.»

Valuable collaboration
The collaboration between the two companies began in August 2021, when Kurt Heinrich Kemink GmbH & Co KG was specifically looking for a partner for disinfection solutions, as the technology is widely used in the industry. When first contacted, the Swiss company sterilAir responded immediately and presented a hygiene concept in a very short period. The first installation was carried out in September and validation took place the following month. Devices have now been installed at several points in the plant. A further sterilAir T2018 belt disinfection system will be implemented soon. The company is very satisfied with the hygiene solution and would very much like to realise further installations with sterilAir AG in the future.
How the T2002 became the successful T2018 belt disinfection system
