HPP – High-Pressure Processing Solutions

JBT Avure HPP high pressure processor for pharmaceutical manufacturing

Find an HPP Tolling Center

Making the most flavorful, freshest, and safest food possible

High-Pressure Processing, A Winning Choice

HPP, a cold pasteurization technique, is extremely effective. It leverages ultra-high pressure purified water to inactivate bacteria – like listeria, E. coli, and salmonella. Neutralizing pathogens makes it so that packaged foods can stay fresher longer.

In addition to bolstering safety and extending shelf life, HPP preserves food’s natural nutrition, freshness, texture, and flavor.

All kinds of foods undergo HPP:

Ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook meats
Ready-meals
Fruits and vegetables
Juices and smoothies
Soups and sauces
Wet salads and dips
Dairy products
Seafood and shellfish

Come to Your Senses with HPP

People tend to eat foods they like. With HPP, the chances of consumers enjoying your products just might skyrocket. This is due to HPP’s ability to lock in all the good aspects of food – taste, consistency, appearance, freshness, vitamins, and minerals – without the need for preservatives.

HPP’s also ideal for what it’s not. It’s not a preparation that infuses your product with chemicals, additives, hard-to-pronounce preservatives, and so on. These compounds can have more than just a bad reputation with buyers; they can actually alter the food. Adulterated food simply may not be as healthful or appealing as more purely-processed foods.

The Capabilities of HPP

HPP can do a lot, and it’s a suitable application for most foods. It’s able to remove shells and other debris from seafood. It’s processing guacamole, juices, briskets, hummus, and more. Pretty versatile!

It won’t come as a surprise, then, that HPP is used by food processors across the board. Here are some of the industries you’ll find this technology in:

That said, HPP isn’t a fit for certain items – like bread, marshmallows, and other airy dry goods or shelf-stable versions of some foods.

How High-Pressure Processing Works

HPP is an all-natural process. Using purified cold water, sealed products are subjected to incredibly high pressures – up to 6,000 bar (87,000 psi). That’s six times greater than the deepest depths of the ocean! This intense pressure neutralizes food-borne pathogens, like listeria and E. coli, without preservatives or chemicals.

Surprisingly, all this water and pressure doesn’t harm the food. Quite the opposite, actually. HPP is an incredibly effective way to maintain food’s purity.

By applying pressure evenly in all directions for about one to three minutes, harmful bacteria are inactivated.
Products aren’t subjected to heat (thermal processing) or chemicals, which means they retain their flavor, texture, and nutrients.
Shelf-life is extended up to three times longer than traditional preservation methods.

Features & Benefits

High-pressure processing has many benefits – both for the food products you’re creating and for your facility operations.

Maintains food’s fresh, natural taste
Preserves vitamins and minerals
Hydrates and increases yields for seafood
Improves food safety
Provides a clean label solution
Extends shelf-life
Reduces waste and processing inefficiencies

JBT, Your Best Choice for HPP

Did you know that JBT-Avure helped invent the HPP method and the machines that perform it? It’s true. Based on that lengthy and proud legacy, we’re also continually innovating the technology.

That’s good background information, but you’re probably more interested in what JBT’s HPP expertise means for your business. Our experience is your asset. It helps you accomplish things like:

Making sure your products taste, smell, look, and feel their best.
Improving food safety and stability.
Preserving the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients of ingredients.
Reducing scrap, waste, or loss due to spoilage or contamination.
Processing high-quality products in a more efficient manner.

JBT’s the obvious choice – no pressure here! – for your HPP needs.

The Trusted HPP Brand – Avure

Avure has been on the HPP scene for more than 70 years. In fact, it created the scene. The smart people behind the brand invented – and continue to advance – the HPP technology.

As long-time leaders in high-pressure processing, Avure equipment is widely used around the globe. Here are a few stats to put it into perspective:

More than 60% of HPP foods worldwide are treated on Avure machinery.
The world’s biggest poultry producer depends on Avure equipment to process its products.
Avure processors process everything from guacamole and juice to brisket and tabouli.

You can see these machines are more than up to the variety and volume of food prep tasks they undertake. The businesses that use them – rely on them – trust Avure. They repeatedly add Avure processors to their production lines for a reason. Avure’s HPP makes them better.

Makes low-acid food products (pH > 4.5) safe to eat and drink
Pushes that expiration date further out
Negates the need for product refrigeration
Increases product stability
Seals in nutrition, freshness, and flavor
Eliminates the need for unnatural additives for product safety and stability

Injection & Marination

At JBT we have gained a vast knowledge, not just about our equipment, but also about food processing and how to develop a product that is competitive. That’s why our solutions within curing, massaging and injection are designed to create a better yield, higher efficiency, and a tastier end result.

These technologies are at the forefront of revolutionizing the way we enhance the flavor, tenderness, and overall quality of various meat and poultry products. We have been developing curing, injection, and marinating technology for more than 50 years. As a globally recognized manufacturer we have a diverse range of machines are designed to solve even the most unconventional needs of facilities that process meat, poultry, fish, as well as other food products like plant-based food. With high injection efficiency and fast throughput our equipment will boost your productivity.

Brine Preparation

Standardised brine, highest hygiene

In addition to consistent product quality, a brine preparation system offers an operator guidance during brine creation, weight checks during batching, uniform cooling and mixing times and much more.

Injection Technology

Injection technology for highest demands

Injection is a common method for boned and boneless meat. The integration of injectors is possible in continuous processing lines, batching operation or as a flexible individual solution. Traditional curing methods (pickling) are seldom sufficient for distributing brine uniformly in meat cuts in industrial processing. Precise injection quantities with uniform brine distribution, continuous production and a hygienic design are just some of the customer advantages when using modern injection technology.

Pork, beef, boneless products, bone-in meat, poultry , fish and plant based applications can be injected.

Mechanical Preparation

Improved quality through surface treatment

The goals of the mechanical preparation systems – e.g. roller tenderizer, curing presses or needle tenderizer – are the improvement of intramuscular and extramuscular slice cohesion, higher yields, tenderising effects and the adaptation of different meat cuts to subsequent production processes.

Massaging Technology

Highest yield and maximum protein activation

Vacuum massage units are primarily intended for boneless meat cuts. But even products with bones such as chicken wings or drum sticks can be processed. Massage units are used with and without vacuums at a controlled temperature in both continuous processing and batching operation.
