Holmach Ltd is pleased to announce the official UK and Eire launch of Kreyenborg’s revolutionary FoodSafety-IRD (FS-IRD) infrared technology at this year’s PPMA Show in Birmingham. This innovative thermal processing solution, used for pasteurisation, sterilisation, roasting, toasting, stock protection (killing insects and larvae), coating, drying, and enzyme deactivation in nuts, seeds, herbs, teas, spices, and dried vegetables, will be publicly showcased in the UK for the first time. Since Holmach became Kreyenborg’s exclusive UK and Eire sales agent earlier this year, the technology has already generated significant buzz within the market, addressing common manufacturing challenges across diverse applications such as animal feed, malted barley, and roasted and toasted nuts and seeds. These challenges include overcooking, diminished sensory attributes, uneven heating causing compromised product integrity and loss of vital nutrients, and ensuring a robust level of decontamination without resorting to harsh chemicals or processes. The FS-IRD enables the sustainable production of healthy food products to meet the high expectations of retailers and consumers. Kreyenborg’s cutting-edge FoodSafety-IRD (FS-IRD) technology offers a paradigm shift in overcoming these persistent manufacturing hurdles. Unlike conventional methods that heat
products slowly from the outside, the infrared light of the FS-IRD directly and rapidly heats the core of the product from the inside out. This gentle yet fast process, typically completed within minutes, preserves and can even enhance natural taste and colour, retaining vital organoleptic properties. This unique approach prevents condensate formation, making it ideal for gentle yet highly effective decontamination. Visitors to PPMA Stand C30 will have the exclusive opportunity to witness this cutting-edge technology in action and engage directly with Holmach’s experts. This is an essential visit for manufacturers seeking to future-proof their food production lines with unparalleled levels of safety, quality, and sustainability.
