MATS/MAPS commercial food processing systems are available exclusively through 915 Labs. The company sells both commercial production systems and a pilot-scale system for product development. All MATS systems perform both sterilization (MATS) and pasteurization (MAPS) processes. 915 Labs also offers a MAPS-only system.

MATS-42 COMMERCIAL SYSTEM

The MATS-42 commercial production system is capable of both pasteurization and sterilization. It is designed to process up to 42 packages per minute based on a standard square tray with 8.5 ounce fill weight. Its universal carrier is configurable to a variety of packaging formats and sizes. The system is designed to integrate into modern food production facilities, making use of existing cook, fill and packaging lines.

MATS-B PILOT SCALE SYSTEM

The MATS-B is a pilot-scale system designed for product development labs. This system processes up to 60 packages per hour based on a standard square tray with 8.5 ounce fill weight. The universal carrier in this system is configurable to a variety of packaging formats and sizes. Chefs, culinary experts and food manufacturers work with MATS-B systems to create new packaged food recipes with fewer additives and salt. Recipes and processes developed on the MATS-B will translate directly to commercial production MATS systems.

The pilot-scale MATS-B allows food companies to:

  • develop recipes

  • produce samples for internal and market trials

  • validate food safety

  • test packaging materials and designs.
