Food and Canned Goods Isostatic Pressing

 

 

Isostatic pressing or high pressure processing (HPP) of food, beverages or canned goods to inactivate food pathogens or destroy spoilage organisms such as bacteria or mold spores and inactivate enzymes that spoils or brown food. Isostatic processing of foods is accomplished at lower temperatures than heat pasteurization, which preserve food flavor, quality, and extend shelf life. High pressure processing can also germinate certain bacterial spores, assist in marinating meats, shuck oysters or separate shellfish, and promote cheese ripening.


Products & Services
Isostatic presses are used for compressing powdered materials into shaped pre-forms or general products. There are two main types of isostatic presses; cold isostatic presses (CIP) that function at room temperature and hot isostatic presses (HIP) that function at elevated temperatures.
