Product catalog summary
Introduction
STALAM has developed SANICROP+, a patented, chemical-free solution for the organic disinfestation and sanitisation of dry agricultural commodities using Radio Frequency (RF) technology. This method preserves the physical, chemical, nutritional, and sensorial characteristics of the products.

How It Works
The SANICROP+ system uses a volumetric hopper feeder to ensure consistent loading and desired thickness of the product, which is then conveyed through a treatment tunnel via a food-grade conveyor belt. The RF energy is adjusted for controlled processing of products with medium to low moisture content. A PLC manages the process parameters for reliability and safety.

Process Efficiency
The RF treatment is significantly faster than conventional methods, taking 3-5 minutes to reach 55-65°C for disinfestation and 7-10 minutes to reach 80-100°C for sanitisation. A short holding time ensures complete pest mortality or significant microbial reduction.

Benefits
  • Organic and Chemical-Free: Preserves product properties without using chemicals.
  • Energy Efficient: Requires approximately 25 kWh per ton for disinfestation, translating to a cost of 2-4 EUR/ton.
  • Seed Germination: Does not affect seed germination due to low temperatures and short processing time.

Performance Data
Laboratory and greenhouse tests show high germination rates and pest mortality with RF treatment, demonstrating its effectiveness and efficiency compared to conventional methods.

SANICROP+-1

Perform an organic process, retain the natural properties Disinfestation and sanitisation of agricultural commodities STALAM developed and patented SANICROP+, an innovative chemical-free solution for the organic disinfestation and sanitisation of dry agricultural commodities, based on the Radio Frequency technology. Thanks to the mild heat treatment performed by the RF electromagnetic field, all physical, chemical, nutritional and sensorial characteristics of the substrate are preserved at their best. How it works? In the SANICROP+ sanitisation system, the product is fed by means of an in-built volumetric hopper feeder, that guarantees the load consistency and the desired thickness; it is then conveyed through the treatment tunnel by a food-grade conveyor belt. In the treatment tunnel the product is submited to the electromagnetic field. In a few minutes the product leaves the treatment tunnel and is gently transferred to the conveyor system which will take it to the subsequent processing steps or storage. MODELS AVAILABLE Throughput (Kg/h)* RF generator cooling system The Radio Frequency energy supply is adjusted to ensure a perfectly controlled process on a wide range of medium to low moisture content products. The PLC ensures a reliable, repeatable and safe process control and allows to manage easily the operating parameters to achieve the desired process targets. * Production capacities may vary depending on the product type. Multiple modules can be combined to increase the production capacity even at a later stage.

Fast and effective treatment The physical, chemical, sensorial and nutritional properties are preserved at best thanks to the mild heat treatment, so that a healthy and safe product can be obtained without using fumigants, anoxic atmosphere or other chemical treatments. Energy efficient and environmentally friendly technology Approx. 25 kWh are required to disinfest about 1 ton of product (about the double for a thorough sanitisation process), which translates into a cost of 2÷4 EUR/ton, competitive with the conventional technologies. No effect on the germination of seeds Up to 10x faster than...
