COLD STERILIZATION WITH ACCELERATED ELECTRONS KILLS PATHOGENS AND INCREASES THE SHELF LIFE OF THE PRODUCTS TO BE PROCESSED!
According to United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), pet food is susceptible to contamination by bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria and can thus cause the spread of these bacteria among livestock.
“Effective April 10, [2001] the FDA has approved irradiation of bagged complete diets, packaged feeds, feed ingredients, bulk feeds, and animal treats and chews such as rawhide and pig ears to prevent microbial infection in handlers of the feed and animals alike.”— US FDA
WHAT PET FOOD PRODUCTS ARE PROCESSED USING BOXES WITH ELECTRON ACCELERATORS?
BEAMCOMPLEX EQUIPMENT FOR PET FOOD IRRADIATION
Beamcomplex manufactures compact boxes with electron accelerators operating in E-beam and X-Ray modes, capable of phytosanitary treatment of pet food both vertically and horizontally due to the dual window outlet device.
Our boxes allow treatment in any type of packaging — in individual packages, boxes, boxes on pallets or in bulk — eliminating 100% of pathogens and preserving all nutritional and organoleptic properties.
IONIZING RADIATION TECHNOLOGY FOR PET FOOD TREATMENT
E-beam/X-Ray generated by electron accelerators penetrate the product and effectively eliminate or reduce the number of pathogens and parasites to required limits by inducing breaks in their DNA. Ionizing radiation technology is a non-invasive and non-thermal treatment.
BENEFITS OF PET FOOD IRRADIATION USING BOXES WITH ELECTRON ACCELERATORS
Desctruction of pathogens to improve pet food safety.
Extended shelf life of treated products.
High processing speed.
The technology enables to sterilize products in hermetically sealed packaging, eliminates the risk of recontamination and ensures quality of pet food products for the entire pet food shelf life.
The cellular and molecular structure of pet food products is not affected. Nutritional elements (vitamins, proteins, fats, amino acids) are retained for the entire shelf life, organoleptic protperties are presrved.
No residual radiation and free radicals in the treated products.
