Accessing HPP Technology Through Hiperbaric's Global Tolling Network

High pressure processing (HPP) is revolutionizing how food companies extend shelf life and ensure safety of perishable products. By subjecting packaged foods to extreme isostatic pressure, HPP inactivates bacteria and microorganisms that cause spoilage and foodborne illness. It's an effective alternative to heat pasteurization that better preserves fresh flavors, nutrients and textures.

However, taking advantage of HPP technology requires investing in costly HPP equipment and facilities. For small-to-midsize food brands or those with variable HPP needs, these capital expenditures may not pencil out financially. That's where Hiperbaric's global network of HPP tolling providers offers an affordable solution.

What is HPP Tolling?

HPP tolling refers to the business model where HPP equipment owners offer processing services on a pay-per-use basis. HPP tollers have installed large-scale, industrial HPP systems and then charge fees to outside food companies to run their packaged products through the HPP equipment.

It enables food companies to utilize HPP's many benefits without having to purchase their own HPP machines. They simply send product batches to the nearest HPP toller for processing as needed, paying only for the tolling services used rather than equipment ownership costs.

Is HPP Tolling Right for My Business?

Many factors go into determining if toll processing or HPP equipment ownership is the best fit for your operations. Generally speaking, HPP tolling can provide a more economical, lower-risk path for:

• Smaller food companies or startups
• Businesses with lower HPP production volumes
• Those looking to first test or validate HPP for new product launches
• Supplementing internal HPP capacity during demand spikes

Even for larger food companies operating their own HPP systems, tolling can offer a cost-effective way to flex capacity up or down as needed without further major capital investments.

Beyond core HPP toll processing services, many of Hiperbaric's tolling partners provide an array of complementary supply chain services. This includes co-manufacturing, cold storage, labeling, packaging, freezing, and distribution - creating a convenient one-stop shop.

By tapping into Hiperbaric's global HPP tolling network, food brands can easily access this innovative processing technology through a pay-per-use model. It reduces the financial barriers of HPP adoption while still allowing companies to pursue extended shelf life and pathogen inactivation for their perishable foods.
