Mark de Boevere

Compact PEF system from Pulsemaster treats up to 10 tph

Pulsemaster has launched a compact industrial-scale pulsed electric field (PEF) solution for the
treatment of tubers, roots, vegetables and fruits at up to 10 tons per hour.


Designed for the small and mid-scale production line

The new Pulsemaster Compact PEF system is a robust, all-in-one unit with a small footprint, which is
designed to suit small and mid-scale production lines. The Compact PEF system is easy to install in a
production line, quick to start up and has low energy and water requirements.


Electroporation

The benefits of PEF are based on an effect known as electroporation, which results in tissue
softening.

PEF and extraction efficiency of cold pressed olive oil

A Pulsemaster PEF-system for olive oil processing

Pulsemaster have succesfully developed a dedicated Pulsed Electric Field system for olive oil processing, max 10 US tons/h (9,000 kg/h) loading rate. Pulsemaster’s PEF is a physical, non-thermal and low-energy processing method that may complement the crushing step of the olives by formation of pores in cell membranes. Objective is permeabilisation of cell membranes leading to cell disruption. Cell disruption in terms of applied electric field intensity and pulse number, which can be exploited to increase yield and quality (aroma’s) from day 0 to the end of storage.

Maximizing the extraction yield and improve aroma concentration

In olive oil processing, Pulsed Electric Field technology can be used to enhance cold pressed olive oil extraction at lower temperatures, to obtain a higher yield and more aroma’s. Even important, PEF processing can reduce processing time in olive oil plants.
