Thanks to its cell-damaging effect, it represents an effective and chemical-free alternative to conventional disinfection methods.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"351\" data-end=\"540\">UV-C technology inactivates microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, yeasts, and fungi and is therefore relevant in a wide range of applications where reliable germ reduction is required &#8211; 254nm.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"542\" data-end=\"900\">For example, companies in the food industry use UV systems to minimize contamination and extend the shelf life of products. Beyond that, UV treatment plays a key role in many sectors, as it can significantly reduce or even completely replace the need for chemicals. This applies not only to water treatment but also to air disinfection and surface hygiene.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"902\" data-end=\"1039\">UV components and systems thus enable efficient germ reduction

Thanks to the intact ozone layer, this high-energy radiation is naturally filtered and does not reach the Earth\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1165\" data-end=\"1369\">Unlike UV-B, which penetrates deeply into the skin, no proven causal link between UV-C exposure and skin cancer has been found. Still, UV-C must always be applied under controlled conditions for safety.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How UV-C disinfection works&#8221; style=&#8221;arrow&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1413\" data-end=\"1639\">High-energy UV-C radiation triggers a photochemical reaction. At a wavelength of 253.7 nm, the cell nucleic acids absorb the radiation, leading to the inactivation or destruction of germs, viruses, yeasts, and fungal spores.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1641\" data-end=\"1771\"><strong data-start=\"1641\" data-end=\"1658\">Your benefit:<\/strong> With the right UV dose, you can achieve targeted, effective, and chemical-free disinfection of microorganisms.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;The dose principle: Time \u00d7 Intensity = Effectiveness&#8221; style=&#8221;arrow&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1841\" data-end=\"1985\">The effectiveness of UV-C disinfection depends on two factors: exposure time and light intensity. The product of both is expressed as mWs\/cm\u00b2.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1987\" data-end=\"2162\">Microorganisms with simple structures (e.g. bacteria) can be deactivated with a low dose, while more complex organisms such as fungi and spores require higher energy levels.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2164\" data-end=\"2303\"><strong data-start=\"2164\" data-end=\"2181\">Your benefit:<\/strong> By adjusting the UV dose, you gain full control over disinfection performance \u2013 tailored exactly to your process needs.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Safe, Reliable, Chemical-Free&#8221; style=&#8221;arrow&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2380\" data-end=\"2576\">Hoenle UV-C lamps operate mainly at 254 nm and 185 nm\u00a0 &#8211; except for pulsed light. For food applications, only ozone-free emitters are used to guarantee safe and residue-free disinfection.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2578\" data-end=\"2782\">A major advantage of UV-C disinfection: microorganisms cannot develop resistance.
