Benefits of cold pasteurization of ready meals
An explosion of taste, without preservatives
Consumers want natural foods with the taste of a freshly made dish. The HPP system can help you to offer them just that. Using cold water alone, our HPP machines help conserve the food’s original texture, colour and healthy vitamins. That is why HPP foods taste so delicious!
Safer and longer-lasting ready-to-eat foods
The HPP system processes ready-to-eat packaged products at 6,000 bar in order to neutralise pathogens and extend their shelf lives considerably. By processing foods directly in their final packaging, our machines eliminate the risk of subsequent contamination, thereby protecting both the consumers and your business.
Suitable for all types of packaging
High hydrostatic pressure treatment is also applied to prepared food containers, further increasing their safety and avoiding cross contamination.
