AVURE’S FRESHER UNDER PRESSURE HIGH-PRESSURE
PROCESSING SYSTEMS
Avure Technologies helps food processors use
high-pressure processing (HPP) to improve the safety,
quality and shelf life of foods they market. Our technology
is used on a commercial basis to provide an effect similar
to pasteurization for refrigerated ready-to-eat foods. HPP
is accepted by the FDA and USDA, and international
authorities as an effective food safety intervention method.
Avure's Fresher Under Pressure product lines
combine over 50 years of technical excellence in
ultrahigh-pressure hydrostatic pressure systems with 25
years in high-pressure pump technology. We have facilities
worldwide and a team of professionals in sales and
marketing, technical and customer service, engineering, food
technology and research and development. Our mission: to
help the food industry provide safe, high-quality,
innovative food products.
Our product lines include:
Commercial High-Pressure Processing Systems
For most applications, high-pressure processing (HPP) is
a post-packaging process. This ensures product integrity by
placing it in the final flexible consumer package prior to
the HPP step. The packages are loaded into a handling basket
and placed into the pressure vessel. This production model
allows for rapid changeover between product types, package
size and format, for liquid or solid foods.
As a total solutions supplier, Avure can provide even
greater utility through the automation of load and unload
cycles. Avure provides commercial-scale systems with
pressure vessel capacities from 35 litres to 687 litres.
Our most popular model is the Fresher Under Pressure
215L ULTRA, designed for maximum throughput in large-volume
plant operations with minimum floor space requirements. With
87,000 psi pressure to target listeria, salmonella and E.
coli, the 215L ULTRA helps ready-to-eat meat processors
achieve USDA FSIS lowest risk, Alternative 1 status.
The Fresher Under Pressure 35L system is best for
entry-level production volumes, product formulation and
product development. With 87,000 psi pressure and a compact
skid-mounted footprint, it provides full-featured HPP
capability on a smaller scale.
The Fresher Under Pressure 687L system provides a
larger vessel capacity at pressures to 45,000 psi (310 MPa)
and can handle over 1000 pounds of product per cycle. The
687L system is designed for the shellfish industry, using
HPP as a processing tool for oysters, clams and lobsters.
The 687L has a horizontal opening for simple plant
installation.
High-Pressure Processing Models for Research &
Development
As HPP research continues to expand, academic and
commercial development labs are asking for systems that can
be utilized for scientific studies and product development
research.
For intensive product formulation testing and pilot plant
studies, our 35L batch production system (35 liters volume)
can be the appropriate choice. As research organizations
want to extend their temperature and pressure capabilities,
within a laboratory environment, Avure offers the Fresher
Under Pressure PT-1 Research System for scientists
needing to conduct high-pressure testing, in small
quantities, to determine chemical, microbiological,
morphological and kinetic data, and the Fresher Under
Pressure 2L High-Pressure Processing System (2 liters
volume) for lab or development environments needing the
flexibility to process larger sample sizes and shapes.
