While packaging sterilization by means of hydrogen peroxide vapor (H2O2) is widely used in food processing, Serac Group has reached a new milestone in this process. In partnership with the Product Technology Center of Nestl\u00e9 Group in Switzerland, researchers have made progress on two key areas: controlling the concentration of H2O2 and uniformity of treatment in each package. <\/p>\n
Unlike other processes, Serac has opted for an expert solution where hot air and H2O2 are mixed in a single point in a vaporizer (patented). This choice of technology presents a real interest in terms of efficiency since it offers the advantage of perfect uniformity of treatment in all the containers and better control of decontamination parameters. <\/p>\n
The concentration of active components in the system is continuously and accurately monitored by a probe (patented) which guarantees the effectiveness and the duplication of the decontamination process for each container. <\/p>\n
The control system of the machine offers full traceability of all parameters of the decontamination
\nprocess and stops the machine when a parameter is outside the tolerance limits.<\/p>\n
Another advantage to this new process: dried residues generated during the evaporation of hydrogen
\nperoxide remain confined within the vaporizer, which greatly facilitates cleaning.<\/p>\n
Finally, this solution presents a real economical and ecological interest because it uses a very small amount of H2O2 and consumes no water. <\/p>\n
This new process was recently used on milk bottles and on cold-filled sauces particularly sensitive to certain molds. Several applications have also been made for the treatment of aluminum and plastic caps. The Nova machines (Serac group) for fresh products and desserts in preformed cups are also equipped with these new developments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
