Pasteurizer for the food industry Imtech DryGenic
Ventilex
The system combines Steam with Fluidization then Drying and Cooling. This is accomplished with our exclusive and proven "shaking" mechanism. This “shaking” and “fluidization” assures that all surfaces are exposed and treated equally. A moving belt with your nuts does not assure you that all surfaces are exposed. Any 2 nuts touching one another will have contact points. It is at these points that the steam could possibly not condense, thus the pathogen still can exist in the packaged almonds. Treatment times are critical for 5 log or above reduction of pathogens. VENTILEX determined that if you steam treat the nuts past a certain time, that the "natural" aspects of the nut are changed. You will kill the germ and it will no longer be alive and able to germinate.
