Product quality improvement
With GEA’s PureWave Pasteurizer®, the preservation of product quality reaches new heights. Traditional steam pasteurization often causes uneven heating, leading to potential product stress and compromising the integrity of delicate fresh pasta products. In contrast, microwave pasteurization uses volumetric heating, allowing faster and more uniform treatment, which maintains the pasta’s appearance and structural integrity.
The result is a product with a more artisanal, premium look, shorter processing times and reduced thermal stress. The result, in an enhance of the overall quality of the final product, boosting consumer perception and increasing perceived value, all while meeting high industry standards.
Low maintenance and smaller dimension
The GEA PureWave Pasteurizer® offers a compact and efficient design that significantly reduces maintenance requirements. Traditional steam-based systems often require complex upkeep due to the build-up of residue, frequent maintenance of steam components, and a lengthy pre-drying phase.
In contrast, the microwave system’s streamlined design reduces cleaning needs and eliminates the steam-related maintenance challenges. The absence of a pre-drying step and reduced water usage translates into lower operational downtime, contributing to smoother, more cost-effective operations. Moreover, its smaller size compared to traditional systems means it takes up less floor space, optimizing plant layout and offering additional energy savings.
A resource-efficient solution
The GEA PureWave Pasteurizer® carries the Add Better label, a certification which states that, thanks to its innovative microwave technology, the machine reduces the amount of energy consumption compared to its predecessor.
PureWave®’s energy efficiency of over 85% outperforms steam, which has an efficiency of 25% due to significant energy dispersion. By targeting the product directly, it promotes better resource management and contributes to a more sustainable manufacturing process with reduced energy and operating costs.
