Abstract

A disinfection system is disclosed. A first conveyor (23) passes workpieces (22) through a first UV radiation unit (14) for partial disinfection and then passes the workpieces (22) to a static inverter (16) that inverts the workpieces (22). The partially disinfected workpieces (22) fall from the inverter (16) to a second conveyor (18) in an inverted position with portions of the partially disinfected workpieces (22) that previously rested on the first conveyor (12) now being exposed upward. The second conveyor (18) passes the inverted, partially disinfected workpieces (22) through a second UV radiation unit (20) to disinfect the remaining portions of the workpieces (22), providing for 360 degree disinfection of the workpieces (22).
