OverviewThe SANIPACK+ is an industrial RF pasteuriser designed for continuous in-line pasteurisation of packaged foods. Traditional thermal methods relying on hot air, water or steam often produce slow and uneven heating because packaging materials and internal atmospheres limit heat transfer, which can overprocess outer layers and degrade sensory and nutritional quality.
RF pasteurisation advantageRadio frequency (RF) volumetric heating generates heat directly within the product mass, producing fast, uniform and controllable temperature rise. This approach shortens treatment time, reduces thermal overexposure of surface layers and helps preserve product quality while achieving required microbial reduction.
Applications / Examples- Packaged fresh pasta (e.g., ravioli)
- Packaged gnocchi
- Jerked or dried meat in sealed packs
- Other heat-sensitive packaged foods requiring uniform pasteurisation
Benefits- Rapid and uniform treatment: Significant microbial reduction in minutes due to volumetric heating through product and packaging.
- Minimal product degradation: Fast, even heating preserves sensory, nutritional and textural attributes, suited to heat-sensitive items.
- Continuous in-line process: High throughput enables integration into production lines, improving logistics and scheduling.
- Energy-saving technology: RF field transfers energy directly to the product, reducing ambient losses and overall energy consumption.
- Reduced footprint: Smaller equipment footprint compared with conventional thermal systems for equivalent capacity.
