Enzymatic inactivation system for fruits and vegetables

Achieve optimal product quality by maintaining vivid color, robust viscosity, and pure flavors while minimizing oxidation in your fruit and vegetable processing.

Inactivates Enzymes and Extracts Purees

The Zenith Chrono by CFT Group is a cutting-edge anaerobic enzymatic inactivation system designed to enhance food processing efficiency. This system is exceptional due to its rapid enzyme inactivation and anaerobic operation, which preserves the natural qualities of products with minimal oxidation. Widely applied in the production of tomato paste, fruit purees, and edible oils, the Zenith Chrono supports processing capacities from 48 to 1,000 tons per day. With a focus on seamless integration, it features a PLC-controlled interface for precise operation and supports simultaneous processing of varied product types without quality loss. Its design prioritizes energy efficiency, using indirect heating to maintain optimum thermal conditions, while the CIP system ensures easy sanitation. Customization options and engineering support are available to tailor the system to specific production needs.
