Surface pasteurizer for low moisture foods

Ensure a pathogen-free surface on low moisture products without altering their natural texture by using high temperature short dwell pasteurization, achieving reliable Salmonella reduction while maintaining product integrity.

Surface Pasteurizes Nuts and Dried Fruits

The Stein JSP Jet Stream® Surface Pasteurizer from JBT offers nut processing companies and food safety specialists an effective solution for ensuring product safety. This conveyorized system specializes in surface pasteurization, achieving a consistent five log reduction of Salmonella Enteritidis PT 30 without compromising the raw appearance of nuts and dried fruits. Utilizing high-temperature, short dwell time processes, it features a two-zone chamber combining steam and high-velocity impingement to deliver powerful heat transfer. With ProLINK™ user-friendly controls and a vibratory conveyor feed system, it integrates seamlessly into continuous production lines, while the patented Humitrol® system automatically regulates moisture. Designed to meet FDA requirements, the Stein JSP ensures thorough sanitation with its automatic Clean-in-Place system and offers models with varying belt sizes and pasteurization chamber lengths to suit different processing needs.

Benefits
