Solid & semi-solid food

PEF Pilot dual with semi-continuous meat chamber. Processes meat and other solid or semi-solid material with automated in - and outfeed.

Solid batch piloting

Test any raw product, from several potatoes to a single apple or even fruit mash to a suspension.

Microbial inactivation

Holds continuous chambers, a number of configurations available, including co-linear, co-axial or parallel plate.

The PEF Pilot dual is a highly versatile electroporation station. The core unit, designed primarily for pilot scale testing, is customisable with the addition of external plug in units. These units are designed to service specific applications and increase the PEF Pilots processing capacity.
