OPTICEPT® LJ
More juice at better quality
The OPTICEPT® LJ series is a tailored PEF system for optimized extraction of fruit and vegetable juice, enabling higher yields, improved efficiency, and maximum performance.
The OPTICEPT® LJ series is a tailored PEF system for optimized extraction of fruit and vegetable juice, enabling higher yields, improved efficiency, and maximum performance.
The OPTICEPT® LJ Series (Controlled Environment Pulsed Electric Field Treatment) is an advanced PEF system engineered specifically for the juice industry. Designed to optimize extraction and enhance quality, this cutting-edge technology provides significant advantages to producers. Furthermore, our range of models is tailored to meet varying production capacities, ensuring the most efficient and effective treatment for every operation.
The OPTICEPT® LJ7 HC is a PEF system specifically designed for larger production lines. It is a complete system of modular design, built in a stainless steel frame with product-wetted parts in a hygienic design, all with food-grade components.
The system consists of the latest powerful PEF generator – CEPT® v7 supervised by a PLC system and the booster unit module with all control and safety devices mounted on it, including pressure and temperature sensors as well as flowmeter and conductivity indicators. The PEF generator module is cooled by an external chiller delivered with the LJ7 HC.
The fully automated pre-treatment system is operated via a Siemens-based PLC system that logs sensory data and other important information about the treatment.
The system is prepared for customer-based start/ stop signals or complete integration into the parent PLC system. In effect, it is a very user-friendly application, with an intelligent HMI that can handle pre-programmed recipes tailored to fit the specific application.

The treatment is continuous and easy to retrofit into existing extraction lines. The OptiCEPT® system is scalable, where an increased number of units will multiply the flow rate by the same number. The OptiCEPT® LJ7 consists of a CEPT v7 PEF high-voltage generator and a cabinet with an optimized booster step. The equipment continuously monitors and logs pressure and temperature before and after the treatment, as well as the product flow.
These sensors provide valuable information about the treatment process and allow complete quality assurance and process safety. With the flow sensor, the treatment is only enabled when there is an actual and enough flow through the system.
Simply feeding the product by a positive pump and controlling the flow by a magnetic flowmeter, and only by an electricity connection, OptiCEPT® LJ7 can easily be implemented in existing extraction lines.
Lastly, the system is operated via a Siemens-based PLC system, which is prepared for customer-based digital start/stop signals or complete integration to end users´ PLC systems.

The OPTICEPT® LJ6 consists of one CEPT® v6 PEF generator and one booster unit cabinet with a mounted booster unit. Before and after the booster unit, are sensors mounted for pressure and temperature logging.
This gives valuable information to the pretreatment process and adds safety with the logging of pressure drop over the narrowing that is the booster unit. The sensors allow for control of the operation to only be active when there is a flow in the system.
The pre-treatment system is operated via a Siemens-based PLC system that logs sensory data and other information about the treatment. Furthermore, the system is prepared for customer-based start/stop signals or complete integration into parent PLC systems.
