Pilot unit for pre-trial measurements and development

Our pilot unit is built around a small-scale autoclave which enables us to conduct degerming tests and always determine the ideal set of parameters for treating highly delicate, price-sensitive produce. As a result, we can offer our customers the highest degree of certainty and safety. We would be pleased to conduct a trial degerming run on your behalf and draw up the optimal treatment programme for your produce.
