Claranor launches UV-C solutions. Thus, the company brings to the market comparable information on both technologies, objective recommendation, and simplicity for the producers in having the same supplier.

2004: Claranor pioneer in industrialization of Pulsed Light packaging sterilization

In 2004, Claranor’s founder anticipates the need of avoiding chemicals in the food industry and offers “the light that purifies”.

After several years of R&D, Claranor focuses on the packaging decontamination, with the promise of a process showing proven microbiological efficiency, chemical free, compact, cost efficient, with low energy consumption. The track record is now >500 units installed in >50 countries, and a strong experience gathered by a well-established pluri-disciplinary team of microbiologists, engineers, field technicians, project managers, customer service staff, and all related support, 40 people in total.

Claranor now offers decontamination solutions for almost every kind of packaging: cap, sport cap, cup, tray, bucket and lid, film and, more recently on metal cans.

Pulsed Light vs UV-C

During that time, Claranor had to often compete against conventional UVC technologies. Claranor lab and the associate scientific lab of INRAE performed a huge load of work to compare UVC and Pulsed Light, evaluate the difference in sterilizing efficiency, and get awareness on costs.

In 2020, customers asked Claranor to offer UVC systems, understanding that all abilities were present in the company to offer, design, manufacture, install, start-up them and assess their decontamination performance.

2023: Claranor adds conventional UVC to their portfolio of decontamination solutions

After more than 10 UVC pieces of equipment successfully delivered, Claranor officially launches conventional UV-C decontamination solutions on the market. These solutions remain in the original scope of the company’s promise: proven efficiency, chemical free, energy sobriety.

This brings several advantages to the market:

  • Objectivity: Claranor will be able to offer the most suitable technology, considering the customer’s requirements: line speed, microbial efficiency, compacity, budget.
  • Expertise in decontamination: Claranor is an expert in decontamination, whatever technology is used, which is not the case of UV-C lamps specialists.
  • Agility: Claranor offers adapted solutions with full awareness of constraints, and not a cassette with 1 or 2 standard sizes. Claranor can design, manufacture, integrate equipment to existing lines with full adaptation.
  • Innovation: Claranor will implement its engineering power into new projects which suppliers of UV-C lamps cannot design

Claranor offers producers and OEM efficiency and industrial expertise in the choice of non-chemical decontamination solutions for their production lines.
