SAIREM at Anuga
FoodTec 2024:
Presenting innovative heat
treatment solutions to produce
safe, high-quality food
Sylvain Tissier,
Business Development
Manager at SAIREM
SAIREM, a world-leading specialist in microwave (MW) and radio
frequency (RF) industrial solutions, will showcase the company’s innovative
food industry processes at Anuga FoodTec from 19th-22nd March 2024
in Cologne, Germany. On display at the SAIREM booth will be one of the
company’s tempering tunnels as well as samples of treated products.
Customers gain flexibility as there is
no need to unpack ingredients -
they can be processed inside
the plastic film, cardboard, or
plastic box. To experience the
significant advantages of a
SAIREM tempering tunnel, visit

FoodTec.
The TMW75 allows
deep frozen foods to be
tempered or defrosted quickly
Energy-efficient solutions from
the food-safety experts
SAIREM, located in Lyon, France, is an expert
in MW and RF solutions for a wide range of
industries and applications in the food sector.
For over 40 years the company has developed
customized and highly specialized equipment
and processes and has excelled at ensuring
food safety and process efficiency. SAIREM’s
tailored food solutions lead to products that
are healthy, of consistent high quality and
have a long shelf life.
Sylvain Tissier, Business Development Manager
at SAIREM, adds, “Our solutions are fully electric
and highly energy efficient. In addition, they
are easy to install and easy to maintain, offering
maximum reliability with few moving parts.”
Tempering and defrosting – safety and
speed go hand in hand
The speed and uniformity of SAIREM MW and RF
processes minimizes product drip losses as well
as degradation. The entire product is tempered
quickly and homogeneously which ensures
that bacteria don’t have time to grow. These
processes are ideal for meat, fish, seafood, fruit
and vegetables, and butter. Product color,
weight, taste, and vitamins are fully retained.
Pasteurization - enhancing taste,
quality, and shelf life
SAIREM equipment for MW pasteurization
includes tunnels for ready meals and in-line
heaters for pumpable products such as juices
and jams. Thanks to the fast and uniform
heating process, a substantial reduction in the
microbial load is rapidly achieved both at the
core and the surface of the food. Consumers
are demanding safer and healthier products
that preserve taste and goodness while
eliminating the use of preservatives or additives,
especially when it comes to ready meals. MW
pasteurization delivers all these advantages.
Disinfestation and decontamination -
food safety at its most efficient
SAIREM offers a highly efficient process for the
disinfestation and decontamination of low
water content products such as flour, cereals,
spices, grains, lentils, beans, mushrooms,
cocoa beans, nuts, seeds, cannabis, and milk
powder. The process destroys mold, bacteria,
larvae, and other insect colonies without the
use of controversial chemical products. By
exposing the product to a MW or RF frequency
field within a temperature-controlled
processing cavity, the product is quickly and
uniformly brought to the required temperature,
thus preventing alteration of its physical,
chemical, and organoleptic characteristics.
Extraction – preserving flavors and fragrances
When it comes to laboratory-scale compound
extraction from plants for the food or fragrance
industries, preservation of the organoleptic
as well as the physical-chemical properties
