The patent covers a new design of a PEF chamber that enables more uniform treatment. This improves quality and efficiency in the extraction of, for example, olive oil and juice, while also achieving significant energy savings.

With the new chamber design, the treatment of food becomes more precise, thereby avoiding both over- and under-treatment. The result is higher quality, greater yield, and lower energy consumption, as the exact amount and strength of electric pulses can be applied. The technology behind the patent also enables PEF treatment of sensitive foods such as eggs, whey protein, and oat milk—something that has previously been a challenge in the industry.

Thomas Lundqvist, CEO of OptiCept Technologies, comments:

- We are continuously evolving as a company. Compared to our system five years ago, today’s system is 30% more efficient. Thanks to our patented design, food products can be treated more uniformly, with no risk of overtreatment. This is one of the main reasons behind our success in extracting olive oil and juice. Our unique chamber gives OptiCept a strong competitive advantage that clearly sets us apart from other players.

- We are very pleased that the patent has been granted, concludes Thomas Lundqvist.

The patent protects the unique treatment chamber in Europe that OptiCept has developed. Similar applications in the same patent family have already been granted patents in the USA (March 2025), India (April 2025), and China.
