Many dry products need to be pasteurised or sterilised. As a steam sterilizer manufacturer, we recognize that many traditional methods like irradiation, ozone, and UV are still used to sterilise dry products. Though these techniques may extend shelf life, they often compromise taste, flavour, consistency, and nutritional value. In contrast, steam sterilisation is the only efficient and globally recognised solution that preserves product integrity.
Safesteril Sterilizer was developed and patented by ETIA, a French engineering company founded in 1989. Safesteril technology is based on the unique and patented combination of an electrically heated conveyor with steam, that reduces germ content with a minimal alteration of its properties. It is an equipment that increases shelf life, by the killing/deactivation of bacteria available in dry products like yeast, mold, enterobacteriaceae, coliforms, salmonella, etc. keeping its natural properties intact.
We at Rieco are proud to enter a new era as a steam sterilizer manufacturer, bringing world-class sterilization technology from ETIA, France. The patented electrically heated screw reaches up to 250°C, ensuring the safe elimination of pathogens and dangerous microbes from spices and food products, in line with international safety standards. With systems installed in over 35 countries, Safesteril remains the preferred solution for continuous steam pasteurization and sterilization of all forms of dehydrated products—powder, granulated, crushed, chopped, flakes, whole, and more.
