JBT-Avure launches bulk high-pressure pasteurisation technology

JBT-Avure, formally known as JBT Corporation, has announced the launch of its brand-new bulk high-pressure pasteurisation (HPP) technology, FlexiBulk.

With fill speeds of up to 55 gallons per minute, the machine HPPs both individually packaged products, and food and beverage bulk products, simultaneously.

The new technology means that filling and unfilling is done outside the HPP press, resulting in the FlexiBulk being able to fill bags, in baskets, while other bags are being pressed and unfilled. The FlexiBulk also processes cans, reusable bags, glass bottles and cartons. 

Ryan Pereira, president of JBT-Avure, said: “The FlexiBulk is a game-changer for the food processing industry, hands down. Not only does the FlexiBulk process both in-package and bulk food and beverage products simultaneously, but it’s also the fastest and the most efficient bulk HPP machine in the world.”

He continued: “We are making HPP more sustainable with the FlexiBulk’s capacity for multiple eco-friendly container options, such as cans and glass, not normally available to HPP. This reduces plastic waste in the environment, and the HPP reusable bags can be recycled. The FlexiBulk delivers the maximum HPP flexibility—the ability to run bulk and in-package products in the same cycle. This has never been done before.”
