Modular pulsed electric field system for food processing

Enhance your food processing efficiency with a modular system that optimizes extraction, inactivation, and testing, ensuring high yield and quality for both solid and liquid products. This solution is ideal for refining production processes and boosting product value.

Conducts Electroporation for Inactivation and Extraction

The PEF Pilot Dual from Elea is a highly versatile electroporation station, specifically designed for pilot-scale testing and processing. This modular PEF system facilitates precise electroporation for both liquid and solid food products, increasing efficiency in inactivation and extraction processes. Applicable to industries such as food, beverage, wine, and dairy, it aids in producing end-products like cold-pressed juices, extra virgin olive oil, and red wine. With a batch capacity of up to 10 kg and continuous throughput up to 250 l/h, it supports scalable operations from research laboratories to on-site factory environments. The unit is equipped with PLC controls and a touch interface for seamless integration and automation. Constructed from stainless steel, it offers durability and ease of maintenance, and is further supported by a dedicated team for customization and engineering assistance.
