Food Processing Lighting Guide

Nowadays, the main focus for all food related businesses is to keep foods free of containments within the working areas. Food processing lighting is one of the major factors to achieve this goal. Lighting fixtures must meet some requirements and standards and high IP rating for any industry or business.

LED food light fixtures must follow the national certifications and standards such as TUV, UL, and CE certificates, and follow certain requirements:

  • Contain no toxic materials. Mercury free. Corrosion resistant body. Withstand frequent washings of the area.

The Importance of Good Food Processing Lighting:

Using the proper food processing lighting can increase quality grade, production, help in inspection and sorting, and better working environment.

 

Higher Productivity:

At optimal lighting levels and high color rendering index, workers will have higher concentration and better visibility which increase their efficiency and productivity; and help in reducing unintentionally mistakes while sorting and packing products. Low glare LED food light fixtures also will lower the chances of headaches and eyes strain.

 

Safer Environment:

Some food industries require the use of sharp tools like grinders, knives and slicing machines, so clear vision with low glare will lower accident rates.
Also, in freezer areas, you need bright lighting so the workers can drive forklifts safely, and employees can see paths properly during walking.

Food Processing Lighting Types:

 

The world now tends to use LED food light fixtures because LED technologies can provide up to 75% energy savings and maintenance costs by replacing the outdated and traditional fluorescent and metal halide lights. As well as, fluorescent lamps are a great source of hazard because they are made from glass and contain mercury vapors.

Also at cold temperatures, fluorescent lights will have a significant output reduction from 50% to 70% loss; but LED lights can operate normally under the same cold temperatures and also may provide brighter lighting.

IP69K LED High Bay Light

 

Replacing traditional high bay metal halide with LED high bay light can return many favors for owners. It can save energy up to 70% and lesser maintenance is required; also provides better and brighter lighting with different beam angles.
As well as, IP65 or better, excellent cooling performance, high efficacy up to 170 lm/w, and without glass make it a better option for food processing lighting workplaces.

IP69K LED Tri Proof Light

LED Tri Proof Light is waterproof, and dustproof fixture that uses anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion materials, with the possibility of silicone sealing; and no mercury. All of that make it a great option for food industry workplaces. It withstands high water pressure up to 100 bar, and high efficacy up to 150 lm/w.
Wide beam angle, low glare and flicker free drivers leads to better visibility, increase concentration and lower mistakes, and safer environment.

What is a Good Solution for Food Processing Lighting?

Using LED food processing lighting fixtures have many benefits for both owners and workers. 

They are suitable for different working conditions such as very high and very temperatures. 

They are suitable for food industry environment as they don’t contain glass, mercury, and toxic materials.

 As well as they can be and offer:
