Meeting the highest standards of hygiene and product safety
The production of powdered infant formula requires adherence to the highest hygiene standards to ensure product safety and regulatory compliance. In this context, every potential vector of contamination must be strictly controlled, particularly during packaging operations.
The decontamination of packaging components whether in direct or indirect contact with the product is a critical control point in the overall hygiene strategy. Inadequate treatment at this stage can compromise the microbiological integrity of the final product, with direct implications for quality, shelf life, and consumer safety.

Claranor sterilization: Proven Efficiency, sustainability, operator-friendly
Infant formula is particularly susceptible to contamination by specific microorganisms that can pose serious health risks for newborns. Among the most critical microorganisms to control are Escherichia coli and Cronobacter sakazakii. These germs are commonly used as reference organisms in microbiological validation protocols due to their relevance in food safety, especially for vulnerable populations such as infants.
Our UV-C technology provides a validated 3-log reduction on these reference microorganisms, ensuring compliance with international microbiological specifications for packaging in contact with infant formula.
In addition, our dry and chemical-free decontamination process eliminates the need for chemicals or water, reducing the risk of leaving residues in the packaging while preserving the quality and safety of the product.
A Sustainable and Operator-Friendly Solution
Beyond safety, our UV-C decontamination solutions are also designed with sustainability and user experience in mind:
- No water, no chemicals: a dry and clean process
- Hygienic design: easy to clean and maintain
- Operator-friendly interface for quick and safe use
