Client Request
A major agribusiness client approached UVL with a critical task: to design and manufacture bactericidal ventilation modules for large livestock housing facilities dedicated to swine breeding. The site included three large hangars, each equipped with three axial ventilation units providing 20,000 m³/h of airflow. The client’s main requirement was to achieve at least 99% air disinfection efficiency against Staphylococcus aureus, using modules compatible with round ducts of 820 mm diameter.
Our Engineering Solution
UVL developed nine high-performance UV ventilation sections, each tailored for 20,000 m³/h airflow and capable of delivering a germicidal dose of 130 kJ. To ensure effective microbial inactivation without excessive power usage or heat buildup, each section was fitted with 10 high-output amalgam lamps, known for their long service life and superior UV-C emission.
Key Structural Advantages
- Round duct compatibility: Custom diffusers were fabricated for smooth integration with circular ductwork (Ø820 mm).
- Service-friendly design: Each section includes dual access hatches with ergonomic fasteners, allowing quick access for lamp replacement and maintenance.
- Industrial-grade materials: UV-resistant coatings and moisture-resistant gaskets were selected to ensure durability in high-humidity, dusty environments — common in agricultural facilities.
Technical Specifications
- Air capacity: 20,000 m³/h
- Germicidal UV dose: ≥130 kJ
- Duct connection: Ø820 mm
- Power consumption: ~800 W
- Lamp type: Amalgam UV lamps
- Lamp life expectancy: up to 16,000 hours
- Production lead time: 2 months from advance payment
- Warranty: 12 months after dispatch
Outcome and Benefits
All nine modules were manufactured and delivered within the scheduled timeframe. The client opted for in-house installation, while we also provided optional mounting kits for facilities with lower capacity requirements or tighter budgets.
Whether you're managing ventilation in livestock farms, processing plants, or industrial environments — UVL offers tailored bactericidal sections for air disinfection that combine engineering precision, field-tested reliability, and advanced germicidal UV light performance.
