In-package pasteurization system for ready-to-eat meals
Ensuring the safety and quality of ready-to-eat meals without relying on antimicrobial ingredients poses a challenge for food processors. Conventional methods may not provide the reliability needed for pathogen control, making an efficient and continuous thermal pasteurization technique essential.
Continuous thermal processing for safe and clean label products
The Camatix Pasteurization system from Armorinox is a fully continuous in-package thermal processing solution designed to meet the needs of industrial food processors. This system includes a continuous carousel product handling mechanism with automated, multi-level loading and unloading cages, which supports high capacity throughput within a compact footprint. Custom-configured with different successive agitated water processing tanks for cooking, pasteurizing, and chilling, the Camatix ensures thorough and uniform thermal treatment of products. Capable of syncing with multiple packing machines, it operates steadily at a pace of 2 to 5 tons per hour, maintaining the position of products from infeed to outfeed. Ideal for short thermal treatment products like poultry, thin protein items, and egg-based components, the Camatix system guarantees reliable in-package pasteurization, catering to the demands for clean label ready-to-eat meals. Each system is custom-made to suit specific customer requirements.
