Claranor Pulsed Light Decontamination in Spain
Spain has a large agricultural and food diversity. It is one of the largest producers of fruits, vegetables, canned fish, cold cuts, and pastries.
Organic and healthy food is becoming increasingly popular in Spain. The organic food market in Spain is worth no less than 450 million euros and is growing steadily with an annual increase of about 6.7%. In addition, 69.7% of Spaniards say they regularly consume organic food products and this trend is increasing. (Sources: Ministry of Agriculture – 2020 )
The food market trend in Spain is also increasingly turning towards plant-based foods and veganism. The main plant-based food consumed in Spain is milk (the consumption rate of this plant alternative is 92%). Followed by meat, with an increase in sales of 31% in just one year, and which continues to grow. Next are yogurts and cheese, which are growing rapidly.
These products are sensitive, it is, therefore, necessary to decontaminate their packaging in order to ensure extended shelf life. For this purpose, the power of our Claranor Pulsed Light decontamination solutions destroys all forms of mould, bacteria present on the surface of the packaging, and even the most resistant.

DAIRY MARKET: CAP and PREFORM DECONTAMINATION
The dairy market in Spain is a wide industry, but the market is in a slight decline. This is mainly due to the increased consumption of plant-based dairy by the population.
Dairy products are sensitive products, which is why it is necessary to decontaminate their packaging in order to avoid the development of mold and bacteria in the product and thus ensure consumer safety.
2 Claranor Pulsed Light cap decontamination modules were integrated in 2018 on new production lines.
The first solution was installed for a renowned dairy company to decontaminate 40,7 mm * 15,5 mm caps at a speed of 12 500 bph.
The second piece of equipment was installed the same year for caps and also preform neck decontamination at a line speed of 6000 bph.
