The compact industrial-scale systems for the treatment of vegetables, tubers and fruits. The PEF Advantage B 1 & B 1 mini-systems are built as a single unit including a pulse generator, treatment belt and vessel. The B 1 is designed for treatment capacities up to 7.5 t/h.
The B 1 mini is specially engineered for smaller lines with treatment capacities of up to 3 t/h, with an option to upgrade to B 1 capacity if required.
The industrial scale solution for the treatment of tubers, roots, vegetables and fruits. Our PEF Advantage Belt system are available in a range of four models: the PEF Advantage B 1, B 1 mini, 10, 100 & 1000. Each option is fully customisable to your requirements.
Up to 70 t/h processing capacity, quick start-up, low energy & water consumption.
PEF pre-treatment compensates for natural variations in the quality of the raw material, allowing new and normally more difficult to process varieties to be used in production.
Ensuring a smooth and quick process, the belt transports the product
through an electric field. The size of the raw material can vary, the treatment remains constant.
Easier cutting due to PEF softening provides greater yields, improved cut consistency and longer knife durability. Improved slicing also results in less waste and breakage.
Due to the open cell structure induced by PEF, enzymes are more accessible. Therefore, the enzyme inactivation can be improved and, consequently, can shorten the blanching time.
The electroporation of the cell membrane improves mass transport through the product, accelerating water removal and reducing drying times.
The open cell structure and reduced turgor pressure result in a more flexible and robust raw material that is less likely to break during canning.
PEF treatment results in greater distribution of water on the product surface prior to freezing, leading to less clustering.
We can trial your product at our specialist PEF piloting facility at our headquarters in Quakenbrück, Germany, or we can run trials on location at your production line.
Once trials are finished you can be sure that you getting the most optimal PEF treatment for your product.
Our scientists and engineers work with our clients every step of the way offering expert guidance and professional advice for your chip product. We take your product concept and apply our industry-leading knowledge and experience to designing a system that will deliver greatest value.
