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.

Pulsemaster launches Liquidus PEF-equipment for small and medium-sized juice marketers and science sectors. Pulsemaster’s Liquidus PEF-system for liquids like cold pressed juices & smoothies, purees and e.g. cold brew coffee. Ideal for premium juices and blends produced by smaller juice marketers. Pulsemaster’s Liquidus to meet small and medium-sized beverages industry production requirements and to meet science sectors research requirements.
PEF processing is a microbial inactivation method based on pulsed electric fields. Electroporation is a non-thermal cell membrane permeabilization treatment, to enhance process optimisation in beverages industry. Pulsemaster offers this versatile Liquidus continuous unit for sale or trial rental.
