CM Process Solutions range of sanitizer tunnels are designed to reduce the risk of potential contamination between low and high care production areas, giving food processors confidence that any potential pathogen or bacteria that may have been on the outer packaging has been eliminated.
CM Process Solutions range of sanitizer tunnels are designed to reduce the risk of potential contamination between low and high care production areas, giving food processors confidence that any potential pathogen or bacteria that may have been on the outer packaging has been eliminated.
The BRC global standards for food safety requires there to be a physical segregation between low care and high care areas, CM Process Solutions sanitizer tunnel conveyor has been designed to help food production facilities reduce the risk of contaminants and increase food safety, reducing the risk of expensive product recalls, causing consumers harm and preventing tainted brand names and costly litigation.
Every day outsourced packaged ingredients stored within containers, buckets, packed meats and bagged product are brought into food processing plants on delivery trucks which could have been exposed to potential pathogens and chemicals.
Our sanitizer tunnels are designed to take utensils, tools and raw ingredients that are still in there packaging safely through the segregation between low and high risk, which helps ensure you meet the BRC global standards requirements.
Operational Design
The sanitizer tunnel is usually installed through a wall that separates low and high risk, the container or bagged product is placed on the infeed of the conveyor belt where it is conveyed through the machine and then sanitizer solution is sprayed on all sides of the container ensuring a 360°degree coverage which ensures that bacteria or contaminants are neutralized.
The sanitation solution is constantly re-circulated through the tank system and a filter is installed to filter any particulates that may come from the containers or packaging, as the water drains back to the tank, a variable speed conveyor belt allows for total speed control, a sensor mounted at the end of the sanitizer tunnel will stop the conveyor if a product has not been removed preventing it from falling on the floor.
Operational Safety
As with all the equipment CM Process Solutions offer, our sanitizer tunnel is designed with complete operator safety in mind, with risk assessments and FEAÂ (Finite element analysis) studies thoroughly conducted on each product we supply.
A number of safety features are incorporated to ensure the safe and efficient operation of our sanitizer tunnel, locally mounted e-stops are fitted on the machine which are monitored by a safety relay mounted within the control panel, the removable stainless-steel canopy is fitted with an electro-magnetic safety switch which when removed will stop the operation of the belt and pump ensuring the safety of the operator.

Our sanitizer conveyor tunnels are hygienically designed and manufactured from 304 grade stainless steel and built to IP65 standards making them suitable for the food processing industry, the stainless-steel sanitizer hood is removable allowing complete access to the belt and inside for cleaning and maintenance.
Aftersales And Spare Parts
We understand there are many options and choices for our customers when selecting equipment, here at CM Process Solutions we believe in long term partnerships and ensuring that our customers have complete faith in our product offerings, to support our customers we keep a constant critical supply of components at our Winchester location, however we do recommend the purchase of a simple critical spare parts list, so that in the event a wearable item such as a nylon roller or section of the conveyor belt then fails, the sanitizer conveyor tunnel can easily be placed back into operation with little disruption to production.
Whether it’s a requirement of spare parts, equipment breakdowns, training, or maintenance, you can rest assured that we at CM Process Solutions are readily available to provide additional support as and when its required.
Customized Solutions
Our range of sanitizer tunnels can be completely customized to suit your specific individual needs, all of our sanitizer tunnels can be fitted with a range of options such as an air knife blower system for removal of excess sanitation solution or a twin belt design to suit low care to high care segregation.
