Steristir is a continuous steam pasteurization machine for the following products:
-
herbs,
-
spices,
-
flours,
-
powders (cocoa, vegetables)
-
dried fruits and more.
This technology is now the 4th steam pasteurization machine developped in within 4 years.
When was the last innovation in this field?
What is included ?
- Automation and controls
- Boiler and chillers
- Decontamination unit
- Cooling / drying section
The heat combined with steam in the decontamination machine allows a fast treatment time. Therefore, this limits the impact on the organoleptic properties of the material treated (volatile oils, color, particle size)
Principle:
- Product is heated by contact with stainless steel boby that is regulated throughout the process
- The steam saturates the chamber to inactivate pathogens
- Dwell time is adjustable to determine the temperature desired. Particles are conveyed mechanically thanks to the rotating paddles.
- The process does not cook the products which remain raw and organic
Material used in this steam pasteurizer :
The main components are made out of stainless steel which makes it perfect for food indutries and pharmaceutical use. The other components are food grade (seals, paddles) materials.
