Elea Highlights Kanaan Success with PEF Technology in Potato Chips Production

Elea Technology GmbH has released a new video featuring an interview with Tomislav Lukačević, Investment Director at Kanaan d.o.o., Croatia's largest snack products manufacturer. The video highlights the strong partnership between Elea and Kanaan and showcases the benefits of the Elea Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) Advantage Systems in potato chips production.
 

From First System to LongTerm Success: Kanaan’s PEF Story with Elea

In the interview, Tomislav Lukačević explains how Kanaan first discovered PEF technology and how their journey led them to Elea. Kanaan has been working with Elea PEF systems since 2018 and was among the very first companies to install an Elea PEF Advantage B1 system. Since then, they have benefited from higher product quality, improved processing performance, and several additional advantages that enhance potato chips production.

These benefits stem from the core principle of PEF technology itself: by applying short, highvoltage pulses to raw potatoes, the technology creates temporary microscopic pores in the cell membranes – known as electroporation. This softens the cellular structure and enables cleaner cuts, smoother surfaces, improved mechanical handling, and reduced equipment wear.

The newly released video provides an authentic, behindthescenes look at the collaboration between Elea and Kanaan, showing how PEF delivers measurable, realworld benefits in daily potato chips production.
