Elea Technology is the global leader in Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) technology for the food and beverage industry, with more than 300 installations worldwide. Our wide range of PEF systems helps potato processors to improve yield, product quality, and production efficiency. In French fry production, PEF technology can, among other things, deliver up to 60 % longer knife lifetime, up to 50 % fewer breakages, and up to 90 % reduced water and energy consumption throughout production.

While these benefits have made PEF an established processing technology, greater process transparency can unlock additional optimization potential. By complementing established sampling-based assessments with real-time process data, processors can further enhance product consistency, efficiency, and process control.

To address these challenges, Elea has developed the PiCon Tools, a suite of three complementary solutions designed to monitor and optimize different stages of the PEF process: PiCon Sense, PiCon Vision, and PiCon Flow. Together, they provide valuable real-time insights that support data-driven decision-making, improve process transparency, and help maximize the benefits of PEF technology.
