Modern Pasteurization and Decontamination of Packaged Foods Using Innovative Radio Frequency and Microwave Solutions from SAIREM

SAIREM, an organization specializing in high-tech industrial microwave and radio frequency purposes, based mostly in Lyon, France, will show at Interpack 2023 how environmentally pleasant and dependable pasteurization of packaged meals is feasible. Because of the superior microwave (MW) and radio frequency (RF) know-how, extremely environment friendly processes in pasteurization, decontamination and meals security are ensured. SAIREM purposes signify mild but dependable operations, top quality high quality in addition to lengthy product life.

Pasteurization: quick, mild, vitality environment friendly

With the most recent modular techniques from SAIREM, the required diploma of pasteurization of meals merchandise will be achieved in just some minutes. For this objective, a brand new technology of pasteurization tunnels has been specifically developed in collaboration with the French Institute CTCPA. In these techniques, the pasteurization course of will be carried out at a most temperature of 95 to 100°C, relying on product choice and the specified pasteurization stage. The brand new tunnel techniques from SAIREM make it attainable to softly pasteurize prepared meals and menu elements in quite a lot of packaging supplies similar to plastic, glass and paper in addition to thermoformed packages or baggage – additionally in several sizes. Generally, microwave pasteurization techniques embody tunnels for prepared meals in addition to inline heaters for pumpable merchandise similar to varied fillings and jams. Embedded techniques are 100% electrically operated and obtain important vitality financial savings over standard processes.

Decontamination: Efficient and delicate warmth remedy of packaged or bulk merchandise with low water content material

Disinfection of grains, grains, botanicals, powders and elements with MW and RF know-how reliably inactivates salmonella and considerably reduces mould, making certain an extended shelf life. SAIREM techniques present uniform, exactly managed heating. The temperature, the depth of the MW or RF discipline and the period of the method are individually adjusted to the product and eradicate germs. Decontamination is completed via a completely repeatable and traceable course of which is authorized by most worldwide natural certification our bodies. Customers can select between totally different batch or tunnel options for SAIREM techniques. The totally automated course of will be simply built-in into present strains, being totally Business 4.0 compliant.

Volumetric heating know-how – uniform and environment friendly

SAIREM’s MW and RF know-how gives volumetric heating and is due to this fact notably mild: in contrast to standard processes, which warmth a product by conduction from outdoors to inside, right here the thermal course of takes place homogeneously. Nevertheless, the required diploma of pasteurization or dependable decontamination will be achieved within the shortest remedy time. This protects the meals, preserving its freshness and high quality, and preserving the organoleptic traits. The primary distinction between MW and RF know-how is the wavelength, which impacts the vitality transmitted to the product to be handled. Longer wavelength RF know-how can be utilized successfully for merchandise of regular dimension and form and is effectively fitted to extra delicate merchandise resulting from its gradual heating. MW know-how is superb for processing irregularly formed merchandise and may be very efficient in pasteurizing liquid merchandise, amongst different issues.

SAIREM has in depth expertise with MW and RF applied sciences and makes use of some great benefits of every to tailor the method to the person product. Each processes equally protect the colour, texture and style of the processed meals merchandise, thus representing first-class high quality and an extended shelf life,” explains Christina From Kramer, Enterprise Improvement Supervisor – Meals, at SAIREM.
