Lyras Raslysation systems are designed to treat liquids ranging from high to low transparency. We are specialized in the treatment of liquid foods, e.g. milk, plant-based drinks and juice, but we are also experienced with treating non-food liquids.

If you are in doubt about whether your product is suitable for Raslysation UV-treatment, please do not hesitate to contact us! We do offer testing of your products at your production facility.

Pasteurization is used to inactivate bacteria within easily perishable foods and thereby preserving them for long periods without significant change in taste. Today, almost all liquid foods are pasteurized for this specific reason – and over the past 150 years it has saved millions of lives. However, the method of pasteurization hasn’t changed significantly since the invention by the French chemist Louis Pasteur, back in 1864. You can read more about the difference between Lyras’ groundbreaking Raslysation solution and conventional pasteurization in the following section.

Raslysation is a green alternative to the traditional pasteurization process. With this process, we use UV-lamps to generate a disinfecting light. The Raslysation system has patented integrated light filters, which only allows for the desired wavelengths to pass through, and these inactivate spores and bacteria more effectively than conventional pasteurization has ever been able to in e.g. milk. Furthermore, the product treated maintain a higher quality due to the gentler treatment, as the energy input is only 0,02% compared to conventionally pasteurized product. The product is only treated a few seconds and it stays chilled while undergoing the short treatment. Thus, maintaining its natural taste and composition meanwhile nutritional values are retained, as vitamins and proteins go unharmed.

The conventional way to pasteurize liquid foods is done by heating and cooling the fluid in rapid succession to a minimum of 72 degrees for 15-45 seconds. This process ensures the safety of the product but uses a vast amount of energy and is time consuming.

YES! Our systems meet all the food safety requirements. Apart from fulfilling all the requirements, there is also other benefits, as Raslysation relies on UV-light rather than heat, no particles burn to the surface, thereby reducing the need for cleaning and use of chemicals.  

With Lyras’ new and patented Raslysation system comes many benefits including: higher quality, energy efficiency, a more sustainable pasteurization, extended shelf life and much more, which you can read about through the following link: Technology

The main challenge in using UV-light, is the transparency of the product. The reason why transparency poses a challenge, is that all the bacteria present in the fluid, must come into contact with the UV-light, for it to be inactivated. A product with low transparancy, such as milk is therefore harder to treat, than for example a see-through liquid such as water.

We at Lyras however have solved this challenge with a new and patented system. Lyras Raslysation technology uses UV-lamps to generate a disinfecting light. The Raslysation system has integrated light filters, which removes unnecessary wavelengths, and thereby we maintain a high product quality meanwhile inactivating bacteria and spores. Furthermore, the unique design geometry creates a turbulent flow, to ensure the entire volume of liquid is exposed to the UV-light. This Raslysation technique eliminates the traditional challenges to UV-pasteurization, meanwhile being a greener and more energy efficient way of pasteurizing.

With this Raslysation technique Lyras can pasteurize various products with different viscosity and transparency levels, such as following: Milk, juice, wine, mixers, soda, brine, process water, non-food liquids, plant-based milk, whey, cheese and more.

YES! Lyras’ Raslysation technology allows for an energy efficient solution, that reduces the energy consumption by 60-90%. Furthermore, the technology enables a production that excludes water almost entirely and hereby eliminates unnecessary water waste.

Conventionally fossils fuels are used in pasteurization processes, which has a negative impact on the global carbon footprint. However, Lyras’ Raslysation technology only uses electricity and hereby leads to a greener production that has the potential to run solely on renewable energy. Thereby, Lyras’ Raslysation technology affects the planet favorably as the solution ensures sustainable production patterns with a lower carbon footprint than conventional pasteurization.
