• COLD STERILIZATION WITH ACCELERATED ELECTRONS KILLS PATHOGENS AND INCREASES THE SHELF LIFE OF THE PRODUCTS TO BE PROCESSED

Rice with shelf life of up to 10 years

In an ever-changing world, having a reliable food stock is essential. Our equipment is suitable for national food stocks to extend the shelf life of rice up to 10 years and preserve it in full, without loss or waste. An exceptionally long shelf life is ensured by insect control and the destruction of pathogens and mycotoxins.


Our company also offers complexes to produce the extended shelf life rice to commercial enterprises. Having such complexes you will have a competitive advantage, differentiate your product and retain leading positions in the local and global rice markets.

  • BEAMCOMPLEX EQUIPMENT FOR RICE IRRADIATION
    Our company specializes in the production of compact complexes with electron accelerators for food product processing with ionizing radiation (E-beam/X-Ray). These complexes have been designed for long-term storage warehouses (national food reserve funds and commercial stocks).

    Our equipment integrates seamlessly into any production process without requiring a plant shutdown, allowing it to be installed at any operating facility.
    During installation, the complex's conveyor is connected with the customer's conveyor system. It is possible to treat rice both vertically and horizontally due to the dual window outlet device.

Besides Beamcomplex specializes in the construction of a full-scale phytosanitary treatment center equipped with multiple complexes with electron accelerators, strategically located near rice production facilities, where we can render phytosanitary treatment services.

IONIZING RADIATION TECHNOLOGY FOR RICE TREATMENT

Ionizing radiation (E-beam/X-Ray) generated by electron accelerators is used for phytosanitary treatment of food products.
E-beam/X-Ray penetrate the product and effectively eliminate or reduce the number of pathogens and parasites to required limits by inducing breaks in their DNA.

BENEFITS OF RICE IRRADIATION TECHNOLOGY

  • Reliable packaging: usage of oxygen-tight packaging eliminates the risk of rice contamination after irradiation.
  • High processing speed.
  • Chemical independence: sterilized rice does not require toxic chemical treatment.
  • Unique technology that guarantees shelf life extension of rice up to 10 years.

HOW IS RICE STERILIZED TO EXTEND ITS SHELF LIFE?


Rice packed in bags or in bulk is processed with ionizing radiation (E-beam/X-Ray) in addition to specific techniques.


An important factor in ensuring long shelf life is to process the packed rice as early as possible. The earlier the packaged product is sterilized, the earlier the insect pest reproduction process stops, thereby extending rice shelf life.


To extend rice shelf life:

  • up to 3 years it should be sterilized in insect-proof packages, provided that the humidity level in the warehouse is 13-14%.
  • up to 5 years it should be sterilized in oxygen- and water-proof packages.
  • up to 10 years rice should be packed, using inert gas, into the oxygen- and water-proof packages with further vacuuming and sterilizing.

BENEFITS OF RICE STERILIZATION USING COMPLEXES WITH ELECTRON ACCELERATORS

  • Pure and Safe

    No residual radiation in sterilized rice, which is confirmed by FAO/IAEA.

  • Enhancing Profitability

    Reducing rice losses and increasing sales.

  • Assured Compliance
    100% guarantee that sterilized rice passes phytosanitary export control.

  • Extended Shelf Life

    Perfect for supply to local and export markets when demand is increasing and rice prices are getting higher.
  • Nutritional Quality
    The essential nutrients (amino acids, fats, vitamins) of rice remain intact after irradiation.
  • Sensory Excellence
    Organoleptic properties of rice are preserved after irradiation.

DATA FOR ECONOMIC EFFECT CALCULATION
The capacity depends on a radiation dose. The dose value is selected taking into account the level of infestation and resistance of certain insect pest species to radiation.

The dose of 100 Gy is sufficient for phytosanitary treatment of rice, while 5 kGy is sufficient to extend its shelf life.

Salary costs:
• 2 electron accelerator’s operators
• 5 – 10 handlers
