Food preservation and safety are high on the list of priorities for manufacturers, retailers and consumers alike. One of the ways to keep foods and beverages healthy and safe is high pressure processing (HPP), a process that uses cold water and high pressure to inactivate harmful foodborne pathogens and microorganisms. It maintains nutritional integrity and taste and extends shelf life without the need for preservatives.
Automation is the next progression in the HPP industry. It increases the efficiency and safety of the HPP process, reducing labor costs, boosting production line speed and efficiency, and delivering accountability.
