Senmei's continuous UVC sterilization tunnel for finished food cans, sealed snack tubes, and packed product. A 4,000 mm irradiation area fed by 20 × 350 W lamps at 254 nm, running on a 114 mm stainless mesh belt at 800 mm belt height. Targets common Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and mold.
The Senmei SM-4200 is an automatic tunnel UV sterilization machine designed for in-line surface sterilization of filled, sealed, or packaged product. Filled cans enter one end of the tunnel and exit the other after passing the full 4,000 mm irradiation area. There is no heat, no chemical residue, and no moisture — just 254 nm UVC light targeting surface-borne organisms.
The tunnel's 20 lamps produce 350 W each — 7.0 kW of optical output across the irradiation chamber — and the 114 mm stainless mesh belt is sized to clear typical snack-can diameters. The SM-4200 is rated for the four organisms most converters and food brands worry about: Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and mold. Senmei builds the tunnel into composite-can and snack-canning lines as a downstream finishing station.

Sealed cans or packaged product enter the tunnel through the 250 mm feed zone. Inside the chamber, twenty 350 W mercury-vapor lamps arranged in staggered rows bathe the product in 254 nm UVC light as it travels the 4,000 mm irradiation length on the stainless mesh belt. Belt speed is recipe-controlled to deliver a target cumulative dose at the configured throughput.
Discharge through the 250 mm exit zone returns the product to downstream packaging — case packing, shrink-wrapping, or palletizing. The control panel surfaces live belt speed, individual lamp status, lamp hours, and chamber temperature. Lamp life is tracked automatically, and a service alert fires when the cumulative UV dose at the working face begins to drift.
Senmei engineers run a baseline validation on your product format — surface inoculation, dose-step sweep, log-reduction count. The recipe ships with the validated dose, not a guess.
304 stainless mesh belt, lamp housing, and product guides — built to typical food-plant CIP routines and accepted by plant QA. Documentation packages ship with every machine.
Lifetime remote diagnostics, on-site engineer dispatch available globally, and a 12-month warranty — extended to 24 months on request. Senmei keeps spare lamp banks in stock for the SM-4200 platform.
Send Senmei your product format, target organisms, and throughput. Senmei comes back with a configuration, a validated dose plan, and a price band promptly.
