Roasting and pasteurization system for nuts and seeds
Ensure optimal pasteurization and roasting of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit with a system designed to protect product quality, maintain raw characteristics, and extend shelf life in high-capacity production lines.
Pasteurizes and Roasts Nuts and Seeds Efficiently
The NapaRoast Continuous Batch Pasteurization and Roasting System from NapaRoast AG offers an innovative solution for food processors, nut processors, and seed processors aiming to maintain product quality and integrity. This equipment utilizes a fully automated, continuous batch process to ensure optimal throughput without product damage. With applications across nuts, seeds, dried fruits, herbs, spices, cereals, and pet foods, it supports diverse end-products such as almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, cornflakes, and pet treats.
The system operates through a series of preheating, pasteurization, roasting, and cooling stages. Products are initially preheated by circulating hot air before entering the pasteurization chamber, where a deep vacuum removes air, and high-pressure steam uniformly heats the batch to the target temperature. Following pasteurization, the load transitions to the roasting platform, where high-temperature air achieves desired roasting levels. Finally, cooled with HEPA-filtered air, the products reach ambient temperature, maintaining raw quality and extending shelf-life without moisture pickup.
Designed for high efficiency, this system features cleaning procedures that keep bins dust-free without a mess, facilitated by offline cleaning as needed. Capable of high production rates, this equipment is an ideal addition for manufacturers focusing on processing reliability and operational integration.
