Abstract: A disinfecting conveyor system utilizes ultraviolet light to disinfect a product as it passes through an enclosure on a conveyor. A UV light sensor provides feedback to a control system that can change the amount of UV light exposure, speed of conveyor, and disinfection reaction. A UV light sensor may be a coupled to the conveyor and the UV light intensity and time of exposure within the enclosure may be used to calculate a UV light dose. A user of the system may input a required UV light dose or the type of product to be disinfected and the control system may automatically control the speed of the conveyor and/or the UV light intensity to provide the required UV dose. The system may utilize an air filtration and/or cooling system to provide a flow of clean and cool process air to the enclosure to maintain a temperature that is below a threshold temperature.
