Pulsemaster revolutionizes food processing with new innovative Compact PEF system

January 2024

Pulsemaster has introduced a groundbreaking compact industrial-scale pulsed electric field (PEF) system, marking a significant advancement in the food processing industry. This state-of-the-art technology is designed to treat tubers, roots, vegetables, and fruits, boasting an impressive processing capacity of up to 10 tons per hour and setting a new standard for food treatment efficiency.

Catering specifically to small and mid-sized production lines, the Pulsemaster Compact PEF system features a robust, all-in-one design with a minimal footprint, making it an ideal fit for facilities with limited space. Its seamless integration into existing production lines, rapid startup time, and minimal energy and water requirements underscore Pulsemaster's dedication to sustainable practices.

Central to the success of the Compact PEF system is electroporation, a process involving tissue softening that aligns perfectly with the food industry's increasing preference for natural and clean processing methods.

Mark de Boevere, Managing Director at Pulsemaster, highlights the customer-centric approach behind the Compact PEF system, emphasizing its tailored design for small and mid-scale production lines. Informed by extensive experience, process expertise, and client feedback, this innovation enables clients to significantly enhance their business value with Pulsemaster PEF systems.

The system's success is evident in its rising demand, with recent delivery to a European crisps processor being a testament to its burgeoning popularity in the food processing sector.

Especially advantageous for the production of frozen vegetables and fruits, the Compact PEF system utilizes PEF technology as a wet disruption method of plant cells before dehydration and freezing processes. Particularly effective for high-water-content produce such as strawberries, peppers, onions, garlic, and mushrooms, this method extracts free water from the produce before freezing, preserving cellular structure, organoleptic qualities, and authentic flavors in the final product.

More than just a piece of machinery, the Pulsemaster Compact PEF system reflects the company's innovative spirit and commitment to enhancing food quality and production efficiency on a global scale.
