To achieve the optimal treatment with PEF, you need to create the electrical pulses as close to a square as possible.

Some PEF systems have less sharp pulses due to various reasons, for example, a long rise and fall time of the pulse. Some old generators used “spark gap” technology which discharges the capacitors completely. Some generators have small capacitors, so the pulses drop a lot during the pulse.

Nevertheless, it is impossible to create a perfect square pulse due to physical limitations.

However, the CEPT® platform has a “minimal inductance design” which creates the sharpest possible pulse.

The pulse efficiency enabled by the CEPT® system can be explained by the sharp pulses and  “automated recipes”. Given that, the user doesn’t have to select certain recipes since the generator automatically sets the optimal settings.

Furthermore, CEPT® has a unique efficiency and can treat at half the generator power compared to traditional PEF. 

The CEPT® system manages any objects that accidentally could end up going through the chamber due to short-circuit and over-voltage protection.

Lastly, the installation is very simple, some PEF systems require transformer oil, meaning that the installation requires a separate fire-protected room.

That is to say, the OptiCEPT PEF system has a much smaller footprint, both in terms of physical space and in terms of energy efficiency.

Maintenance is also convenient, with an Easy-to-clean chamber with a raisable dual conveyor belt in the systems for solid foods.
