PEF (Pulsed Electric Field) technology in potato processing - OPTICEPT®

The OPTICEPT® (Controlled Environment Pulsed Electric Field Treatment), is a state-of-the-art PEF system developed by FPS Food Process Solutions in collaboration with PEF-specialists OptiCept Technologies. It is specifically designed for the solid food processing industry and brings distinct advantages to the potato sector.

PEF technology can improve quality and efficiency in the
potato processing industry, in terms of products and processes.
For example, PEF has shown significant advantages over
conventional preheaters.

PEF treatment softens the potato tissue, minimizing breakage and feathering during cutting, resulting in more uniform fries and higher yields. The treatment requires less cutting force resulting in a smoother cut.

The OPTICEPT® system consists of a PEF generator and a conveyor belt
system with a built-in PEF chamber.
