Ensuring safety, hygiene, and compliance is critical in the food and drink industry. Decontamination equipment plays an essential role in meeting these requirements, supporting quality assurance, and maintaining product integrity.
Below, we see how LTE’s specific decontamination and laboratory equipment can help you maintain a safe and compliant working environment.
LTE Scientific offers a comprehensive range of sterilisation solutions tailored to the food and beverage industry. From compact 40-litre autoclaves to large-scale systems capable of handling up to 10,000 litres, our products meet diverse sterilisation needs across various applications.
Whether your focus is food production such as dairy products, beverage production including alcohol and carbonated drinks, or food packaging and processing, LTE has the ideal solution for your operations.
Our Touchclave-Lab autoclaves are perfect for small to mid-sized requirements, while the Touchclave-Systems range is designed for high-capacity sterilisation. These systems are suitable for sterilising containers, bottles, kegs, and other packaging materials, ensuring products remain free from contamination.
Additionally, our autoclaves support microbial testing by sterilising culture media and microbial testing equipment for accurate food safety analysis; while also enabling efficient batch sterilisation of processing tools and equipment, enhancing hygiene and operational productivity.
Washer disinfectors offer an automated and dependable solution for cleaning and disinfecting tools and reusable equipment to ensure compliance with food industry standards. As UK partners of Danish manufacturer KEN Hygiene, LTE proudly offers the KEN IQ range of sustainable washer disinfectors to UK customers.
Whether you’re cleaning tools and glassware used in dairy, meat, seafood, and other food testing, or preparing testing instruments for beverage analysis to guarantee safety and purity, the KEN IQ range delivers exceptional disinfection performance via its 91oC disinfection stage of cycle.
With capacities ranging from 170 to 492 litres, the IQ washer disinfector range ensures consistent results, eliminating the need for time consuming manual cleaning. Its rigorous cleaning cycles guarantee all disinfected equipment meets stringent regulatory standards.
Designed with sustainability in mind, the IQ range reduces water, chemical, and energy usage, helping you minimise your environmental impact while maintaining compliance and efficiency.
LTE’s OP laboratory ovens deliver precision heating for a wide variety of applications, including moisture analysis, material testing, research and development, and more. The OP range provides a dependable solution for measuring moisture levels in materials like flour and sugar, ensuring product consistency and preventing spoilage; testing the stability of ingredients and packaging materials or simulating baking processes. With capacities ranging from 60 to 1,000 litres and temperature settings from 40°C to 250°C, these ovens are suitable for everything from small-scale benchtop analysis to larger operational needs.
LTE’s IP Laboratory Incubators provide precisely controlled environments for growing micro-organisms and maintaining stable temperature conditions. They are ideal for applications such as microbial cultivation and fermentation processes in products like beer, cheese, plant-based foods, and meats. With a temperature range of 30°C to 80°C, the IP range ensures the accuracy needed for food cultivation and fermentation. Additionally, these incubators are well-suited for small-scale shelf-life testing, simulating long-term storage conditions to study product degradation and determine accurate expiry dates.
Drying cabinets play a key role in contamination control by ensuring quick and efficient moisture removal from samples, tools, and equipment. LTE offers a versatile range, from compact 100-litre benchtop models to spacious, 1,000-litre, floor-standing, double-door options. Designed for diverse applications, our range of drying cabinets includes filtered air-drying cabinets to minimise contamination risk, fan extraction cabinets for efficient moisture removal to external areas, standard glassware drying cabinets, and eco-friendly models. Our newest range of eco-friendly drying cabinets reduce energy consumption by up to 80% compared to standard cabinets, supporting sustainability goals and the journey toward net-zero.
LTE environmental chambers are expertly designed to replicate specific conditions, allowing food products and packaging to be tested under controlled temperature and humidity variables. These chambers are invaluable for industries like confectionery, bakeries, frozen foods and food packaging, where simulation of extreme temperatures and humidity are required to evaluate melting points, freshness and quality retention. They are also well suited for large-scale incubation, supporting the cultivation and fermentation testing of food and beverages.
Our industry leading environmental rooms are custom built using modular construction based on your requirements. Everything can be customised, including room shape and size, environmental conditions, internal lighting and shelving, pass-through hatches and specifications working towards ATEX rating if required. With advanced controls for precise humidity and temperature management, our solutions ensure complete accuracy for your food and packaging research and testing needs.
LTE is a great place to work whether you are based at its headquarters or out in the field. As a growing business we regularly have opportunities available, all of which will be advertised here.
