High-Pressure Food Processing Machine (HPP System) – Wave 6000/55

This high-pressure food pasteurization system (HPP) is a unit designed for batch processing of packaged food using hydrostatic pressure. The machine is fully operational, well maintained, and suitable for research, product development, and low-to-medium volume industrial production.

High-pressure processing (HPP) offers significant advantages for food manufacturers seeking to improve product safety, quality, and shelf life without the use of heat or preservatives. By applying up to 600 MPa of hydrostatic pressure to already packaged products, HPP inactivates harmful pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, and E. coli while preserving the natural taste, texture, nutrients, and color of the food. This makes HPP an attractive technology for clean-label formulations. In addition, the process typically doubles or even triples the shelf life of many refrigerated foods, reducing waste and improving distribution flexibility. Because HPP is a post-packaging treatment, recontamination risks are minimized, enabling manufacturers to meet stringent food safety standards in domestic and export markets. The technology is suitable for a wide range of products, including meat, seafood, juices, plant-based foods, ready-to-eat meals, and high-value chilled items.

The system offers a treatment chamber volume of 55 L, reaching pressures up to 6,000 bar (600 MPa), with automatic basket loading/unloading and an integrated intensifier. It is ideal for enhancing food safety, extending shelf life, and enabling clean-label product concepts.
