Are you looking to solve some of the following issues related to broiler carcass production?
Chemical-free & sustainable
SonoSteam is a chemical-free and sustainable technology. The technology offers the markets fastest processing speed from 6,000 – 15,000 birds/h and the lowest running cost with less than 0,0025 EUR per bird.
Elimination of pathogens
SonoSteam technology has shown significant reduction and elimination of pathogens such as Salmonella and Campylobacter. It is also very effective against food spoilage bacteria.
Trusted by food authorities
SonoSteam is in use today at several processing lines in Europe. The technology was evaluated in cooperation with food producers and food authorities in Denmark and in UK.
How much does a poultry disinfection system cost?
The cost of one unit poultry disinfection system depends on the capacity of the system and whether alterations are required to the design of the system. The capacity of the system is from 6,000 – 15,000 birds/h.
Does the system fit all production sites?
The disinfection equipment for broilers is compact and consists of modules to make many layouts possible. Alternatively, the system can be installed from the ceiling above the line to gain floor space and free working areas. The designs of the poultry system are very flexible and is offered in different configurations that fits most production lines, whether there are bends and heights to consider.
Does the technology impact the quality and sensory parameters of the products?
Microbial reduction or elimination happens so quickly, that the depth of heat entrance into the surface of the product is kept at a minimum. The process can be stopped before the surface is thermally damaged. The processing time is within 1-2 seconds of exposure.
How well does the system perform on microbial kill?
The system for poultry disinfection has been assessed together with food authorities in Denmark and in UK. The results show significant reductions in pathogens and improved shelf-life.
SonoSteam is a short treatment of combined steam and ultrasound, ideal for disinfection of delicate food products such as poultry meat. The combined effect from steam and ultrasound are delivered through specially designed nozzles. This simple construction offers easy and effective disinfection.
The catalyzing effect of ultrasound accelerates heat transfer to the surface of the meat and inside microstructures and pores of the skin. The disinfection treatment is halted before heat penetrates the product and causes unwanted thermal damages.
In UK, the SonoSteam project was welcomed by the Food Standard Agency, which took part in the evaluation of the technology. The system for poultry decontamination was installed in 2014, where promising results were revealed. After additional four installations at three of the biggest poultry producers in the UK, food producers, and the FSA were able to realize their goals of bringing down levels of harmful and deadly bacteria on broilers. By the end of 2017, FSA reported more than 100.000 fewer cases of human diseases caused by infectious broilers. Cases that otherwise may have caused major food recalls.
