Steam Pasteurization Systems are extremely effective at reducing or eliminating Pathogens, Bacteria, and other food-borne
sources of illness. Pasteurization effectively treats products for Salmonella, Listeria, E. Coli, and many other pathogens and bacteria while maintaining the flavor, taste and color characteristics of the product.
Steam Pasteurization is cost effective.
The key to both the effectiveness and the affordability of the Ventilex Continuous Pasteurizer is in the distribution of super-heated saturated steam. We have designed a special distribution plate that fluidizes the product to be pasteurized, allowing all product surfaces to be treated equally. Steam then condenses on the surface of the product, and the condensation energy transfer kills unwanted pathogen or bacteria.
The Continuous Pasteurization System recognizes that treatment times, temperatures, and pressures are critical in treating products. The times, temperatures, and pressures can be set for each product and each pathogen to be destroyed. Ventilex understands that repeatability is required in order to validate a system, ensuring effective pasteurization and our systems are designed to provide that repeatability. Our Steam Pasteurization kills specific pathogens without altering the taste or texture of the product, or the ability for the living nut to germinate, thus allowing organic food labels to be applied.
Ventilex has been in the business of Pasteurization of products such as nuts, spices, and herbs for over 14 years. We have spent that time improving our pasteurization process equipment; refining the controls, the replication, and the equipment. We have applied the rule of continuous improvement so you can use our products with confidence.
Key benefits of Ventilex pasteurization include:
- Pasteurization by steam – a renewable, natural resource.
- High Temperature – Short Time Processing (HTST) – protects taste, color, or texture.
- Repeatable and verifiable with the use of Data Logging and advanced PLC instrumentation.
- Ability to add moisture – increasing profits or conditioning too dry products.
- Cleaning of the surface as a bonus side effect.
