Hiperbaric Showcases Cutting-Edge HPP Technology at PACK EXPO Las Vegas

Hiperbaric, a prominent figure in the High Pressure Processing (HPP) arena, is gearing up to feature its state-of-the-art innovations at the upcoming PACK EXPO Las Vegas, taking place from September 29 to October 1, 2025.

With a firm commitment to advancing the food and beverage sector, Hiperbaric will display its latest developments in HPP automation, integration, and safety measures. Located at Booth #N-7444, the company aims to demonstrate how its technologies can enhance production and consumer safety, while also extending product shelf life without compromising quality.

What is High Pressure Processing?

HPP, a non-thermal food preservation technique, has grown tremendously popular among manufacturers due to its effectiveness. Operating at temperatures between 5ºC and 20ºC, HPP utilizes high isostatic pressure—up to 6,000 bar—to inactivate harmful microorganisms and pathogens typical in food products. This innovative method not only ensures food safety but also preserves the natural taste, texture, and nutritional content of foods, paralleling traditional pasteurization without heat-related damage.

Today, over 400 Hiperbaric machines are functioning across various industries, including beverages, meats, seafood, plant-based products, and ready-to-eat meals. The versatility of HPP technology demonstrates its significant role in reshaping the way food brands cater to consumers by providing fresher and safer products.

Real-World Case Studies of Automation Success

As part of their showcase, Hiperbaric will present a case study featuring a successful collaboration with Chick-fil-A's Bay Center Foods. During a session at the Processing Innovation Stage on September 30, from 10:00 to 10:30 AM, Rob Peregrina, Hiperbaric's USA Executive Director, and Moises Serna from Bay Center Foods will discuss their journey in automating the HPP line.

This partnership led to a halving of manual labor requirements, a significant throughput increase, improved traceability, and minimized injuries, thereby enhancing overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). By analyzing these real-world applications, attendees will understand not only the return on investment (ROI) related to automation but also scalability and operator safety improvements.

Hiperbaric’s Role in the Cold Pressure Council

In addition to its exhibit at PACK EXPO Las Vegas, Hiperbaric will play an influential role as a platinum sponsor of the 2025 Cold Pressure Council (CPC) Annual Conference, held on September 30. Designed to be a platform for exchanging knowledge, the conference will cover critical topics such as HPP principles, applications, and automation strategies. Key sessions include:

• - HPP Principles and Applications - September 29, 9:00 – 9:45 AM
• - HPP Automation - September 29, 1:45 – 2:30 PM

These sessions will delve into market trends, best practices, and packaging innovations vital for successful HPP product development.

Innovating for Future Challenges

Hiperbaric's commitment to innovation revolves around responding to industry challenges such as labor shortages, rising production costs, and rigorous food safety standards. The company focuses on enhancing reliability, ergonomics, and operational efficiency, striving to maintain its standing as a market leader.

Rob Peregrina emphasizes, "Our mission is to assist food and beverage brands in delivering the safest and highest-quality products utilizing our unmatched HPP technology. We are thrilled to share tangible success stories and demonstrate how modern automation can revolutionize operations."
