Abstract
The present invention describes a PEF system (I) comprising a (channel 2) for PEF treatment of a material, opposite electrode units (3), (4) and at least one conveyor belt (5), wherein said at least one conveyor belt (5) is arranged in the channel (2), in between the opposite electrode units (3), (4) and in close proximity to one of these electrode units (3), (4), wherein said at least one conveyor belt (5) is perforated and/or comprises one or more PEF permeable sections, preferably is perforated, more preferably is a net.
Claims13
A pulsed electric field (PEF} system comprising;
- a channel for PEF treatment of a material,
- opposite electrode units, and
- at least two conveyor belts, wherein said at least two conveyor belts are is arranged in the channel, in between the opposite electrode units and in close proximity to the opposite electrode units,
- wherein said at least two conveyor belts are perforated or comprises one or more PEF perforated sections,
- wherein a distance BE between one of the electrode units and a closest of the two conveyor belts is at most 0.1 G, where G is a distance between the opposite electrode units and
- wherein a front electrode edge and a rear electrode edge of each of the opposite electrode units are rounded so that both the front electrode edges and the rear electrode edges of the opposing electrode units are rounded in a perpendicular direction to a flow direction, the flow direction being a direction which the material is moved through the system by the conveyor belts.
