Optimizing food processes with SAIREM’s microwave & RF technologies

 

 

SAIREM’s microwave & RF tempering systems represent a breakthrough in the food processing industry, especially for tempering frozen meat, fish, poultry, butter, fruits and vegetables.

 

 

Traditional methods, like air or water-based defrosting, have multiple drawbacks, such as slow heat transfer, bacterial risk, high drip loss, and inconsistent temperature control. These methods often require significant labour and handling, which increases the risk of damage to the product.

By leveraging continuous microwave & RF technologies, the tempering process becomes faster, more efficient, and more precise compared to traditional methods.

Key Advantages:

1. Product treatment flexibility: The machine’s parameters allow adjustment of the treatment to suit the product. This versatile technology suits a wide range of products, including both regular and irregular shapes, ensuring consistent quality across all items.
2. Reduced space and costs: SAIREM’s compact equipment eliminates the need for large tempering rooms, reducing both floor space and operating costs.
3. Continuous & Batch production: Our systems adapt to meet specific organizational and process requirements.
4. Energy Efficiency: SAIREM’s technology is energy-efficient, requiring less power than conventional methods.
5. Optimized production: Microwave & RF tempering technologies provide precise control over production, facilitating efficient planning of both input and output schedules, whether on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
6. Fast processing times: Traditional tempering methods may take hours or even days to defrost large frozen blocks, while SAIREM’s system completes the process within minutes.
7. Uniform heating: SAIREM’s solution heats the product volumetrically, so the entire block is tempered at the same rate, avoiding hot spots.
8. No drip loss: Unlike slow defrosting, which can lead to significant drip loss, our system preserves moisture and enhances yield, ensuring the product retains its weight.

Various Applications:

• Meat: SAIREM’s microwave & RF tempering technologies rapidly prepare frozen meat for processing, ensuring consistent quality for sausage-making, grinding, or further processing.
• Seafood: Our machines can temper large volumes of seafood without affecting flavour or texture.
• Vegetables: SAIREM’s technology maintains the integrity of frozen vegetables, preventing dehydration or bacterial contamination.
• Butter: Controlled tempering ensures butter retains its consistency without surface melting.
• Fruits: SAIREM gently tempers frozen fruits, preserving their freshness, flavour, and texture for further processing.

Our solutions:

Our continuous tunnel microwave tempering unit

The system offers high flexibility for production with fast treatment times: in average 10 min. Optimal microwave distribution provides optimal temperature: around -2 °C, depending on product.

Our tunnel range features a large loading/unloading section and spacious cavity, maximizing throughput, efficiency, and homogeneity.

• Tempering capacities from 1 t/h to several tons per hour
• Standard configurations from 35 to 300kW
• Modular designs allow future scalability: several models to adjust capacity production

Our batch microwave tempering unit

With treatment times of less than 10 minutes, the batch units provide high production flexibility, minimizing changeover time. Optimal design allows homogeneity of the final temperature throughout the product.

• Tempering capacities up to 1 t/h

Radio Frequency microwave tunnels

Radio Frequency tempering by Sairem provides the same uniform heating benefits as microwave technology but can be even more efficient for specific product types. It has a unique design that enhances the machine’s reliability.

• Tempering large, frozen products like fish and meat while avoiding surface degradation
• Controlled temperature increase
• Tempering capacities up to 2 t/h

Conclusion:

SAIREM’s tempering systems offer a significant leap forward in food processing efficiency, delivering faster, more precise, and energy-efficient solutions compared to conventional methods.

 

Whether for meat, seafood, vegetables, butter, or fruits, SAIREM’s tempering technology provides homogeneous defrosting while reducing processing time and minimizing drip loss.

Manufacturers can optimize their production lines for flexibility, consistency, and reduced operational costs, all while maintaining the highest standards in food safety and quality.
