WHY CONCENTRATE.

Volume reduction and increase of soluble solids concentration gives the following advantages:

        Reduction of cost for:

  • Transportation
  • Storage
  • Packaging
  • Drying

        Increase of:

  • Product stability
  • Convenience
  • Quality of dried foods

        Development of new products

WHY USE NIRO PT FREEZE CONCENTRATION TECHNOLOGY.

  • The key aspect of the NIR PT Freeze Concentration technology is maximum retention of the product quality.

    This is due to:
  • Operation at sub zero temperatures
  • Closed system design eliminates vapor/liquid interfaces
  • No loss of aromas or other volatile components
  • Retention of sensory properties of the original feed product
  • No thermal degradation
  • No oxidation

  • HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK

    The NIRO PT Freeze Concentration technology is based on the combination of two patented processes. The crystallization step where pure ice crystals are formed and the efficient crystal separation process using so-called "wash columns".

    The concept of freeze concentration is explained in the chapter "Technologies"  and "Documentation"

    WHERE IS FREEZE CONCENTRATION USED.

    The process is specifically used for concentration of:
  • Heat sensitive substances
  • All products where maximum retention of product quality is a key aspect
  • Products where conventional concentration processes cannot be used
  • For products where added value is appreciated in the market

Today the Niro PT technology is used in various applicationsin the food and non-food sector and additional details can be found through the menu bar above. Please feel free to contact us at the email address below for questions regarding your specific application.
