The PERFITECH system from PERFINOX is a versatile, efficient processing solution designed for a wide range of food applications, including hot sauces, white sauces, and complex emulsions. It incorporates advanced technologies to ensure product consistency, temperature control, effective particle handling, and easy cleaning, while meeting the highest food safety standards. A key feature of the system is its high-efficiency heating through direct steam infusion. This enables rapid, uniform heating, preventing hotspots and ensuring that delicate ingredients are not burnt. It also speeds up cooking and pasteurization, crucial for high-viscosity products like thick hot sauces and white sauces. In hot sauce production, direct steam infusion preserves the natural color and flavor of chili peppers while reducing energy consumption. For white sauces, it ensures smooth, creamy textures without overcooking starch-based or dairy ingredients. The PERFITECH system also includes a high-shear mixer that efficiently disperses powders and emulsifiers into liquid bases, ensuring precise emulsification. This is essential for products like mayonnaise, dressings, and creamy sauces, where stable emulsions are required. It minimizes air incorporation, reducing foam and ensuring a smooth final product. Additionally, a circumferential piston pump allows for gentle handling of products with particles, like chunky sauces. This feature ensures that particles such as pepper pieces or seeds remain intact and evenly distributed, preserving texture and appearance. Cleanability is a major strength of the PERFITECH system. With full Clean-In-Place (CIP) capabilities, it ensures efficient cleaning between production runs, minimizing downtime and preventing cross-contamination. Its design complies with EHEDG hygiene standards, meeting the highest food safety requirements. The system also features advanced monitoring and control, with sensors that track critical parameters such as temperature, pressure. This ensures precise ingredient dosing and consistent product quality, whether in small batches or mass production.
