this partnership ensures the Evolution Series will provide our customers this best value and performance in the High Pressure Processing Market
White Pigeon, Michigan (PRWEB) October 31, 2013
High Pressure Pasteurization (HPP) is a new technology that’s gaining rapid adoption globally to help food manufacturers and distributors extend shelf life of all natural products up to 2x – 3x. With the rapid adoption of this new technology, it is also becoming rapidly apparent the current HPP equipment needs to become more innovative, last longer, and be more cost-effective to meet the increasing demands of the marketplace.
“Last year we began to formulate the best of breed technologies that we wanted to bring together while designing an HPP machine that would dramatically impact the High Pressure Pasteurization Market,” stated Gerald Ludwick, Fresher Evolution HPP CEO. Further Mr. Ludwick states, “One of the areas that we focused on was extending the vessel cycle life. We found a solution with a technology that has been around for hundreds of years, autofrettage.” The autofrettage process is used on tubes and vessels to pre-stress the components by applying an internal pressure that greatly reduces the overall fatigue the component would experience during normal operations. This dramatically increases the tubes and vessels' practical service life, some components more than double.
The Fresher Evolution HPP team identified several potential suppliers for autofrettage vessels and recently conducted a week-long site audit at Baotou KeFa High Pressure Technology, Co., Ltd (KEFA). The audit included the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII Division 3 processes and procedures, QA Audit of the factory, meeting with the KeFa suppliers, and interviews with the KEFA engineering staff. “At the conclusion of the audit it was very apparent to the entire Fresher Evolution HPP team that our diligence in searching the globe for a viable supplier for our ASME US components had paid off,” states Mr. Ludwick.
“I believe that the opening up of our facilities and processes to the Fresher Evolution HPP Executive Team and their ASME Inspector is testament to our belief in our ability to produce World Class ASME U3 Components. The selection of Baotou KeFa High Pressure Technology, Co., Ltd. as a supplier for Fresher Evolution's innovative design demonstrates their belief in our capabilities as leader in High Pressure Processing Industry," stated Dr. Wang Huan Yu, Director of Baotou KeFa High Pressure Technology, Co., Ltd Baotou.
