OUTSTANDING SOLUTIONS FOR THE SANITISATION AND PASTEURISATION OF FOOD PRODUCTS
Stalam, pioneer in the Radio Frequency technology for the food industry, will exhibit at Gulfood Manufacturing 2023 (Hall Shk Saeed 2 – Booth S2-D48) , showcasing, moreover, some of its high-efficiency solutions for the food industry in the field of sanitization and pasteurization, proving the effectiveness of its RF treatments on solid products.
Technically the radio frequency transfers heat volumetrically, so heat is generated directly within the product and not slowly transferred from an outside heat source.
Since the required process temperatures are reached rapidly and accurately, degradation of the product is reduced to a minimum.
The RF equipment requires less space compared to other machines based on conventional heating technology, that have long heating times and require large product volumes under processing at any given time.
Because no thermal energy is wasted into the environment, the RF process is more efficient, economic and environmentally friendly providing significant reduction in the factory carbon footprint.
The benefits of Stalam RF solutions for sanitisation and pasteurisation derive from the minimal thermal impact on products, leading to a longer shelf-life yet preserving at best all functional and sensorial characteristics, obtained thanks to a rapid, organic (chemical-free), effective and reliable treatment.
Stalam industrial RF processing machines are based on an energy-efficient technology with a reduced foot-print.
The treatment can be performed on individual pieces or in package, in a wide range of sizes and weights: from few kg to 30 kg and from few cm to 23 cm high (standard configuration).
Thanks to the characteristics of the RF field and the different types of conveyor belt available, the product can be processed “naked”.or in packaged (in PE film/liner or bag, open or vacuumed, PE + carton, PP crates or trays, etc.).
Some success applications: the RF technology has proven to be a “killerapplication” in the pasteurisation of packaged bread, with many equipment already installed worldwide.
Highly effective results in radio frequency sanitization and pasteurization have also been obtained on frayed cured meat in plastic trays, loose cereals, dried leafy vegetables, etc.
