With over 85 Elea PEF Advantage Belt systems already installed globally, the food industry is already reaping the benefits of PEF such as greater yield, improved quality and exciting new opportunities for snack products.

The Elea PEF Advantage Belt systems are the most popular treatment solution for our international customers. Ideal for the treatment of tubers, roots, vegetables and fruits, the PEF Advantage Belt system is versatile and comes in four models – 1, 10, 100 and 1000

Our PEF Advantage Belt system has been used throughout the potato-processing industry since 2010 and our PEF technology pre-treatment has become the standard worldwide due to its dramatic and positive changes to both product and process.

The Elea PEF Advantage Belt system is an energy-saving low-temperature process that replaces the need for blanching potatoes and other produce before cutting. As well as reducing energy and water consumption by up to 90%, the PEF Advantage Belt system is a volumetric treatment, so you can expect treatment uniformity, no matter the item of fresh produce.

This uniform softening means that a smooth cut can be achieved. French fries and chips achieve longer shapes, become more pliable and

experience less breakage, ultimately leading to opportunities for more extreme snack shapes. What’s more, during deep-frying 10% less oil is absorbed and browning becomes more even for a brighter, more appetising colour.

Drying processes for the production of dried fruit and vegetables can be enhanced too. The pre-treatment of food with the PEF Advantage Belt system leads to a greater diffusion coefficient which greatly improves the drying process in both temperature and time. This leads to energy savings and better shape, colour and overall quality of the dried products.
