Application flexible versatile PEF and PUV systems

Food and pharmaceutical companies have a high demand for fast and cold sterilisation and extraction of nutrients, but they also have restrictions. These requirements cannot be met with current chemical, thermal and irradiation methods, which cause a loss of some valuable nutrients and often carry premium costs. Moreover, radiation methods (gamma, e-beams, deep UVC etc) can create harmful substances in consumable products. In addition, the more complex the requirements of modern industry, the more individual solutions need to be taken. Strasbourg-Kehl-based SteriBeam Systems (SBS) GmbH offers its clients all the solutions and flexibility they need in pulsed UV and PEF cold and fast processing systems.

SBS’s Managing Director is the physicist and engineer Dr. Alexander Wekhof, who was a co-founder of sterilisation pulsed UV light technologies in California two decades ago and a decade ago in Germany (with colleagues from Fraunhofer Inst, Aachen). His publications have been widely referenced not only due to its outstanding value, but also because researchers used SteriBeam bench-top systems sold and/or tested world-wide.

PEF systems are a new line of products from SteriBeam and offer many advantages not available elsewhere: a variety of PEF processing chambers for liquids, powders and spices, the extraction of juices and colours from various plants, grass and roots and tendering of roots and meats. Systems are application flexible since they allow changes in all four major pulse parameters: pulse strength in kV/cm inside a product, its energy, pulse width and its repetition rate which all together are key in obtaining the optimal process for each specific application.

All PEF and PUV bench-top and fully automated conveyer industrial systems are manufactured on request by reputable local manufacturing subcontractors with a proven track record in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
