Continuous Flow Bulk Microwave Sterilization Systems

As a safe, energy-efficient, and scalable process, the Continuous Flow Bulk Microwave Sterilization Systems are for processing high quality shelf stable bulk fruit and vegetable purees. The process rapidly and gently produces high quality products with excellent retention of colors, flavors, aromas, textures, and nutrients.

The sterilization skid can plug into new or existing production lines to improve the flavor, texture, and color of existing products and to convert frozen puree products to shelf stable product lines. Shelf stable products sterilized with the system have tested as equivalent to pasteurized, refrigerated products in terms of freshness perception, likability, and purchase intent.

The continuous flow process uses only 1/10 of the pipe length of a conventional heating system, resulting in a smaller footprint and a reduction of product waste.

Three models are available. The portable Nomatic system is ideal for commercial applications where limited quantities are needed and small frequent runs are optimal. The Nomatic systems operate at 2450MHz and can range from 6 to 18kW of applied microwave power. The Pilot and Commercial Scale systems are for larger scale processing and operate at 915MHz. They can range from 75 to over 1,000kW.
