Introduction

Kerone’s Cold Plasma Food Sterilisation technology enables the safe, non-thermal destruction of surface microorganisms on food products. This method preserves sensory quality, nutritional value, and moisture content while ensuring microbial safety. Cold plasma is ideal for fresh, delicate, and high-moisture foods where heat sterilisation leads to degradation.

Why Choose Kerone Cold Plasma for Food Sterilisation

Kerone designs systems with adjustable plasma intensity, exposure distance, humidity control, and gas composition (air, oxygen, nitrogen) tailored to food chemistry. The result is higher microbial kill rates with preserved freshness.

Types and Features of Cold Plasma for Food Sterilisation

Kerone’s Cold Plasma Food Sterilisation Systems are engineered in multiple configurations to meet the diverse processing needs of fresh, packaged, and high-value food products. In-package cold plasma systems generate reactive plasma inside sealed containers or pouches, achieving sterilisation without exposing food to external contamination—ideal for ready-to-eat meals, deli cuts, and minimally processed foods. Conveyor-based cold plasma tunnels enable high-throughput, inline treatment of fresh produce, meats, bakery goods, and dairy surfaces with uniform plasma exposure and adjustable belt speed for precise microbial reduction. Plasma jet and DBD (Dielectric Barrier Discharge) systems provide targeted or wide-area non-thermal sterilisation, delivering reactive species directly onto complex or uneven food surfaces while preserving appearance, flavour, and nutrients. All systems are equipped with gas-modulated plasma generation, humidity control, PLC automation, and food-safe construction to ensure repeatable, chemical-free microbial inactivation that maintains fresh-like quality.
