Find the right Elea PEF Advantage P e system for you

We offer a range of different-sized Elea PEF Advantage Pipe systems suitable for extraction. Elea systems put control in the hands of the operator and offer customisation of the process parameters. A compact design and small footprint enable easy integration into your production line.
Every Elea PEF Advantage systems share the same 24/7 production capability and are built to operate under extreme conditions.

The Benefits of Elea PEF Advantage P systems for olive oil production

PEF gently opens the pores in the olives cell membrane, increasing extraction. After treatment, malaxation time and temperature are reduced, and yield increased.

Click on the drop-down menus below for a more in-depth explanation of the PEF benefits for olive oil.

PEF reduces malaxation time, increasing process capacity

Increase process capacity. Process more olives early season and win more EVOO.

Increased olive oil yield with PEF by up to 10%

Improved extraction with PEF treatment results in reduced oil losses in the pomace.

Increased EVOO yield cost-benefit example 

We can illustrate the cost-benefit of PEF with a simple calculation. PEF treatment can potentially increase the oil yield from 20 to 22.7%.

In an industrial oil mill operating at 160 t/day, PEF treatment could increase the EVOO daily production by 4.33 t (from 32 to 36.33 t). Let’s assume an EVOO price of 2-4 €/kg; this results in a potential extra turnover of between € 8,660 & € 17,320 per production day.

Data calculated from 160 t of olives per day

Increased olive oil quality with greater retention of biophenols  

Pulsed Electric Field improves the quality of the olive oil by retaining greater amounts of biophenols resulting in more EVOO.

Noticeable increase of fruitiness, bitterness, and spiciness by independent panel testing

We had our PEF treated olive oil assessed for quality by Mulitchrom lab in Greece. An independent blind tasting panel compared untreated and PEF treated olive oil and recorded an increase in quality in all three taste categories used to grade EVOO.

Pulsed Electric Field food processing systems. Improve your product & production with Elea electroporation.

Elea Pulsed Electric Field food processing enhances your production line, improves the quality of your product and provides savings in time and energy. PEF opens the cells of fresh produce (electroporation) resulting in significant increases in yield, freshness, flavour and nutritional preservation.

PEF for solid food

Elea PEF Advantage Belt

PEF Advantage Belt systems process solid food products such as roots, fruits and vegetables. PEF provides many benefits to a broad range of solid food products, such as improved cutting, greater yields, energy savings, improved quality and new product opportunities.

PEF for liquid food

Elea PEF Advantage Pipe

PEF Advantage Pipe systems process pumpable liquid and semi-liquid products – juices, syrups, mash and pumpable non-foods. PEF is a low-temperature alternative to pasteurization and HPP processing. PEF inactivates bacteria, increases shelf life and retains more natural nutritional value of the fresh product.

Reduce cost

PEF R&D

PEFPilot Dual

Our trial batch system designed for scientific and pilot scale applications. Explore the potential of electroporation using Pulsed Electric Fields for solid and liquid products with the world's first commercially available PEF system able to treat both.
