The question
For the processing of its apples, the fruit cooperative transports them over water via long lanes. In this way, the apples are cleaned so that they can ultimately be consumed safely by the consumer. From the perspective of sustainability, the company was looking for a solution to reuse the cleaning water and prevent water wastage.

The solution
Inside the water treatment process, the UVC installation ensures sustainable disinfection of water, making water reuse possible. As it is a physical process, no unwanted compounds are added to the water which can alter the quality and potentially harm your crop. Besides, unlike chemicals and other pesticides, VGE Pro UV is non-selective. Any pathogen inside the water will be easily destroyed! In this way you and I eat a healthy and sustainable apple!
