Food Sterilization
Food Sterilization Unit
Protect your contracts, not just your product.
When a buyer rejects a batch on a microbial spec, or a market closes to chemically treated goods, the bill lands on you: lost contracts, returned shipments, broken trust. A BioSteam unit puts a validated kill step in your own hands, using saturated steam under vacuum to hit your microbial targets while protecting flavor, color and active compounds. No chemicals, no residues, full traceability, on your site and on your schedule.
