Spray nozzles play a vital role in maintaining hygiene and efficiency within food processing lines. In modern sanitization tunnels, products pass through zones where precisely controlled sprays of warm water are applied to elevate the product to the required microbial reduction temperature. After reaching and holding that temperature, products are gently cooled through mist or air sprays to preserve quality and prepare them for the next processing stage.
Using spray nozzles—rather than flooding the system—maximizes fluid efficiency, enhances heat transfer, and ensures a consistent thermal profile across every item. This technique is not only more energy-efficient but also improves sanitization effectiveness and reduces water consumption.
