Food & Beverage Industries

Food and beverage technology is becoming more sophisticated for healthier cooking, ease of digestion, and more efficient storage. Some of the pore structure characteristics important for the food and beverage industry are liquid and vapor permeability of vegetables, pore structure of products like cornflakes, and relative flow rates of fat from meat during cooking. Suitable pore size distribution in filter media is required for efficient removal of bacteria, pollens and fungi from beverages. Low oxygen permeability of packaging materials is desirable to prevent degradation of stored food.

The PMI instruments are capable of measuring all such pore structure characteristics. PMI porometer can measure pore size distribution in filtration media. Very low gas permeability are measurable by PMI diffusion permeameter. Very low liquid permeability can be accurately measured by liquid extrusion porosimeter, which is capable of operating at high temperatures. If you have a special testing need, the engineers at PMI will talk to you about your testing requirements and come up with a suitable solution.
