Elea Technology GmbH has released a new video featuring Tomislav Lukačević, Investment Director at Kanaan d.o.o., focusing on the application of pulsed electric field (PEF) technology in potato chips production.

The video presents the collaboration between Elea and Kanaan, described as Croatia’s largest snack products manufacturer, and outlines the processor’s experience with Elea’s PEF systems. According to the company, Kanaan has been working with Elea technology since 2018 and was among the first to install an Elea PEF Advantage B1 system.

In the interview, Lukačević discusses how Kanaan first encountered PEF technology and how this led to the partnership with Elea. The company states that the use of PEF systems has contributed to higher product quality, improved processing performance, and additional operational benefits in potato chips production.

The reported effects are linked to the core mechanism of PEF technology. By applying short, high-voltage pulses to raw potatoes, the process creates temporary microscopic pores in cell membranes, a phenomenon known as electroporation. According to Elea, this results in a softened cellular structure, enabling cleaner cuts, smoother surfaces, improved mechanical handling, and reduced equipment wear.

The video is positioned as a practical illustration of how PEF technology performs under industrial conditions, offering what the company describes as “an authentic, behind the scenes look at the collaboration between Elea and Kanaan,” and demonstrating how the technology delivers “measurable, real world benefits in daily potato chips production.”
