.hummus

Todo hummus consistente comienza con un proceso controlado.

PERFINOX develops integrated process solutions that combine cooking, cooling, ingredient incorporation and high-viscosity mixing to deliver stable texture, exceptional flavor and reliable production.

PROCESS EXPERTISE. CONSISTENT RESULTS.

Hummus production requires more than mixing ingredients together. Achieving a smooth, stable and repeatable product depends on every stage of the process, from chickpea preparation to final cooling before filing.

PERFINOX combines process knowledge, advanced and hygienic design to deliver reliable performance, batch after batch.

Texture Consistency

Deliver the perfect texture, from rustic to extra smooth, with full process control.

Gentle Processing

Maintain flavor, color and nutritional values with controlled thermal treatment and gentle mixing.

Hygienic Design

Closed and CIP-ready systems designed for food safety and efficient cleaning.

Scalable Production

From pilot trials to complete industrial lines, built to scale with your business.

Key challenges in industrial hummus production

Raw material Variability

Chickpea variety, moisture content and cooking behavior impact softness, yield and the stability of the hummus base.

Batch-to-batch consistency

Maintaning the same texture, flavor and quality across every batch requires stable and reproducible process conditions.

Texture development

From coarse and rustic to smooth and creamy, texture must be achieved without over processing the product.

Ingredient & Recipe Flexibility

Tahini, oil, acid, seasoning and dry ingredients must be incorporated uniformly while supporting different recipes and fast changeovers.

Temperature & product stability

Controlled cooking and cooling are essential to develop the right product characteristics and support shelf-life and sensory quality.

Industrial efficiency & hygiene

High-viscosity handling, automation, hygienic design and effective cleaning reduce downtime and ensure safe, efficient production.

THE PERFINOX APPROACH

THE PERFINOX APPROACH

TWO-STAGE PROCESSING PHILOSOPHY

Our two-stage concept ensures a stable base and the perfect final product, with full control over texture, taste and consistency.

Stage 1

Building a stable base

Chickpeas are soaked, cooked and cooled under controlled conditions to create a consistent base, ready for the incorporation of sensitive ingredients.

Stage 2

Creating the final hummus

The hummus base is combined with ingredients such as tahini, oil, lemon juice, salt, spices and flavourings before controlled mixing, texture development and final cooling.

Different Recipes.
One Adaptable Process.

Every hummus formulation behaves differently. PERFINOX configures each solution around your product, target texture, production capacity and automation requirements.

Different recipes can be produced on the same equipment with minimal changeover time.

Classic hummus

Traditional recipes with balanced texture and flavor.

Smooth hummus

Fine and creamy textures for premium and retail products.

Rustic hummus

Coarser textures with variable particles for authentic profiles.

Flavoured hummus

Spicy, roasted, herb-based or vegetable variations and more.

Clean-Label Formulations

Reccipes with natural ingredients and minimal additives.

Custom recipes

Your formulation. Our process expertise and technology.
