Resumen

This paper evaluates the integration of the UV ray applied to disinfection in food industry with an automatic packaging machine, instead of traditional methods. This systematic review allows to evaluate the most appropriate solution to the selection of the automatic process and devices involved, in order to reduce the bacterial and virus with UV treatment by a schematic development and its verification through modeling and simulation software. The results obtained demonstrate the ability to control the intensity of UV rays emitted by an OSRAM TYPE UVC lamp with a range between 200-280 nm. It is appropriated for a complete disinfection of food products. And also, that the Proportional-Integrative Control system regulates the set-point in a rise time of 24 ms, settlement of 87.8 ms and overshoot of 13.8%. Our findings are the the control time, efficiency, accuracy and uniformity to be integrated into the packaging process; compared to thermal disinfection methods; with a settlement error of ± 1.48 and its ability to counteract Covid-19.
