Pasteurization with AQUAMAT involves precise heating and cooling to extend shelf life by eliminating contaminants. Discover the benefits of this efficient cooking and chilling method.

AQUAMAT Cooking – Pasteurisation - Cooling
Pasteurisation • Pasteurization is a process of heating food, to a specific temperature for a predefined length of time and then immediately cooling it. This process slows spoilage caused by microbial growth in the food • Especially the re-pasteurization of the vacuum-packed sausages with the VEMAG AQUAMAT has significant advantages in regard to reducing the spoilage and the extension of shelf life.Contaminants like staphylococci and Listeria on the surface of the sausages are killed and remaining spore-producing bacillus will be damaged again massively. The taste and texture of the food will not be changed significantly
Example for pasteurisation Vacuumpackedsausageseither in singleor double line
Example for Cooking / Chilling Clippedsausages, meatpiecesandballs, cheeseorpackedsoupcanbecooked / chilled in the AQUAMAT
The principle of AQUAMAT • The principle design is kept simple. There are only few mechanical components / turnarounds used Your advantage • Operational safety • Very good behavior in extreme operations • Easy to clean and maintain means low maintenance costs • Easy control and reliable production ensure reduction of operational efforts Low maintenanceeffort due to simple design forreliableoperationeven at productionfluctuation
