2023-11-10 15:10:11
    • Working principle: The main working principle of HPP ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment is to use very high pressure to kill microorganisms and bacteria in food. This pressure range is usually over millions of Pascals, far exceeding conventional heat sterilization methods. Under high pressure, the cell structure of microorganisms and bacteria is destroyed, killing them.
    • Equipment structure: The structure of HPP equipment usually includes a high-pressure vessel, a high-pressure pump, a control system and a safety system. The high-pressure container is used to contain the food to be processed, the high-pressure pump is used to increase the pressure to millions of pascals in a short time, the control system is used to control the pressure and time, and the safety system is used to ensure the safety of the operation process.
    • Processing process: The processing process usually involves putting the food into the high-pressure container of the HPP equipment, and then raising the pressure to the required level through a high-pressure pump, maintaining it for a certain period of time, and then quickly releasing the pressure to complete the processing. The entire process is usually completed within a few minutes and can be carried out online, i.e. processed at the same time as production.
    • Scope of application: HPP ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment can be used in almost all food fields, including but not limited to beverages, dairy products, meat, fruits and vegetables, etc. Different foods and products require different processing conditions and parameters, but most foods can be effectively sterilized by HPP equipment.
    • Advantages and Limitations: The main advantages of HPP ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment include its non-heating characteristics, high efficiency, high safety and environmental protection. It kills microorganisms and bacteria without changing the original quality of the food and without producing harmful by-products. However, this equipment is relatively expensive and requires professional operation and maintenance.
    • Future trends: With the continuous development of technology and reduction of costs, the application prospects of HPP ultra-high pressure sterilization equipment are very broad. In the future, we can expect to see more food companies adopting this technology to improve the quality and safety of their products, while also seeing applications of this technology in other fields, such as medical and chemical industries.
