The Dutch-German company Pulsemaster is poised to unveil its latest advancements in Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) technology at the upcoming Anuga FoodTec 2024. Pulsemaster’s exhibit, located in Hall 10.1 – Stand G020, is expected to draw considerable attention from professionals, especially those in the potato processing sector.

Mark de Boevere, the Managing Director of Pulsemaster, expressed his excitement about the Anuga FoodTec event.

“Our latest Pulsemaster PEF systems are a must-see. We’re not just showcasing existing technology; we’re revealing new developments and sharing our vision for the future of the dynamic processing industry,” de Boevere said.

Innovation at the Core: Compact PEF Systems Expanded

Pulsemaster’s Compact PEF System up to 10 tons per hour at PEF represents a leap forward in food technology. Tailored for small and medium-scale producers, this system makes advanced PEF technology accessible, leading to significant improvements in food quality and processing efficiency. Particularly in the potato processing sector, it has redefined the standards of quality and yield.

Revolutionizing Processing of Big Raw-Peeled Potatoes

In 2022, Pulsemaster introduced an innovative PEF system specifically designed for big, raw-peeled, and skin-on potatoes. This technology has not only received repeat orders but is also in the process of being manufactured for further distribution.

As a leader in providing PEF systems for enhancing the quality of french fries and potato chips, the Dutch-German company continues to innovate, constantly refining its technologies.

“Our PEF systems signify a giant leap in product output for chip and french fry processors. At Pulsemaster, we are dedicated to employing this cutting-edge technology – known as electroporation – across a broad spectrum of food industry applications. Our technology aligns with the industry’s demand for natural, clean end products,” de Boevere added.

He also highlighted the strong demand for Pulsemaster PEF systems not only in Europe but across North America. He cites the recent delivery of a new system to a North American french fry processor.

Commitment to Sustainability: Eco-Friendly Practices Expanded

Sustainability is a key pillar in Pulsemaster’s approach. The company’s energy-efficient systems significantly reduce environmental impact, aligning with a global shift towards sustainable food production. By minimizing energy and water usage, these systems offer a greener alternative to conventional food processing methods.

“A company with a PEF system not only saves energy but also follows the general trend towards CO2 reduction. As a practical example, a customer decided to install a Pulsemaster PEF system in his factory. Water consumption was reduced by more than 100,000 liters per day in the first year. In addition, the PEF system at this plant will save approximately 1,800 tons of CO2 (heating with natural gas: approx. 0.2 kg CO2 per kWh) per year and reduce energy consumption by approximately 33,000 gigajoules (corresponds to 9,166,666 kWh),” Werner Kohorst, Technical Director of Pulsemaster, declared.

According to Thomas Rohe, Engineering Director, said that Pulsemaster’s technology is not limited to one application. It enhances everything from snack foods to olive oil and tomato processing, making it a universally beneficial solution in food processing.

“The adoption of our PEF systems globally is a testament to their effectiveness. We’re seeing remarkable improvements in product quality and operational efficiency worldwide,” Ben Lemieux, Key Account Manager for Pulsemaster in the Americas, shared his insights.

This widespread adoption highlights Pulsemaster’s role in shaping the future of food processing on a global scale.

Pulsemaster’s exhibit will be located in Hall 10.1 – Stand G020 at the Anuga event.
