The Cidersure product line is more than 20 years in operation and development and has been a crucial technology for the Cider Industry as an alternative to Thermal Pasteurization. Four different size Cidersure Machines are available, ranging in throughput from 30 GPH to 600 GPH. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c76a06a9b8fe819a31a2683/1551728319687-4YFAOFG57S6PF5BD7AYF/nuns-2304009_1920.jpg PRODUCTS - SAPSTEADY The SapSteady is UV Treatment Equipment used on Maple Sap prior to its boiling. The SapSteady Machine kills off pathogens and bacteria that eat the sugars in the sap during storage, prior to boiling. This “Pre-Treatment” of the sap leads to a higher volume of finished syrup after boiling, as well as much higher quality syrup. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c76a06a9b8fe819a31a2683/1552334920007-RQOFJALNVQAAEOJQI7FI/fpe.image.wires+copy.png PRODUCTS https://headwaterfpe.com/uv-tech daily 0.75 2019-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c76a06a9b8fe819a31a2683/1556196681122-U98O6EPI0K9G9S705DV0/008UVTube.jpg UV TECH - UV TECHNOLOGY FPE’s unique technology use thin-film, turbulence, and sophisticated monitoring and controls software to deliver and maintain proper UV dosage to the fluid being treated. FPE invented the first UV equipment to be FDA approved for beverage pasteurization. With more that 20 years of experience since then, FPE continues to develop and enhance UV Treatment Technologies and provide significant value to its customers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c76a06a9b8fe819a31a2683/1551304791149-6BLUJBXYJEIGBPH5YPR0/photo-1530037335614-e68828dcf258.jpeg UV TECH - UV APPLICATIONS UV has wide potential for the treatment of beverages and other fluids. Traditional juices, juice ingredients, cold-pressed juices, flavored kombucha, and other beverages are excellent candidates for UV treatment. So too are various pharmaceutical and nutraceutical fluids. Drinking water, irrigation water, aquaponic systems, waste water, bilge water, recreational water are other areas of UV utility. FPE has an ever expanding database and laboratory capacity to determine UV’s utility for any potential application. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c76a06a9b8fe819a31a2683/1551305383255-DC64HQWAUA67ETA21AH7/fpe.website.research.jpg UV TECH - SCIENCE BEHIND UV FPE has partnered with academic institutions and food science labs from its beginning, furthering and supporting the ongoing research that has developed UV’s utility in the industry. Cornell, and Dr. Randy Worobo in particular, have lead the Food Science research into UV utilization using FPE technology. Because of Cornell and other research institutions there is a growing bank of peer reviewed, published articles on UV technology. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c76a06a9b8fe819a31a2683/1552357929020-H940JCLLOA64OX5BPCZ0/Screen%2BShot%2B2019-03-11%2Bat%2B10.30.32%2BPM.jpg UV TECH https://headwaterfpe.com/company daily 0.75 2019-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c76a06a9b8fe819a31a2683/1555943023597-HF75GS6XQIBNB3W4ZN3Y/Screen%2BShot%2B2019-04-22%2Bat%2B10.15.07%2BAM.jpg COMPANY - OUR MISSION FPE seeks to provide exceptional customer service and support, innovative UV Treatment System design, and top quality engineering and manufacturing capabilities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c76a06a9b8fe819a31a2683/1555942637502-MYHDLV0XFD5A070OMFUI/Screen%2BShot%2B2019-04-22%2Bat%2B10.16.38%2BAM.jpg COMPANY - FAMILY OWNED FPE (Food Processing Equipment, Inc.) was founded in 1998 by Phil Hartman.

FPE works closely with Cornell Microbiology and Food Science Labs to test and validate each UV Treatment machine we build, specific to the fluid or beverage it is expected to treat. FPE coordinates the testing of products and the validation of machines as part of our design process. Depending on each operation’s Food Safety Plan and the FDA regulations, UV Treatment Equipment must be revalidated at specific intervals (generally every 3 years). FPE coordinates and provides these re-validation services. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c76a06a9b8fe819a31a2683/1552336156318-6H0BLLJT1IX6POM1MII7/thomas-drouault-793767-unsplash.jpg SUPPORT & SERVICES - PROCESS & PRODUCTION PLANNING FPE works with customers to understand their process and production requirements so as to design and validate a process utilizing UV Treatment that meets Food Safety and HACCP requirements.

UV light has long been used for the sterilization of equipment and air in medical environments, our UV Treatment Equipment is bring that technology to the treatment of medical fluids and furthering the potential of UV to be an important tool in medicine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c76a06a9b8fe819a31a2683/1552326749840-FSO8TUJ6BVT1CS12IBAB/adult-blur-clean-545014.jpg APPLICATIONS - WATER TREATMENT UV has been used to treat water for more than a century. Water has been the easiest focus for UV Treatment because water has a high level of UV transmittance. Because our system monitors the UV dosage and handles liquids with turbidity and lower UV transmittance, our UV Treatment Equipment is well suited for water treatment applications where the water is less than pure and clear. Applications like irrigation water, aquaponics, waste water, recreational water features, and bilge water are some of the areas in which our equipment is the best choice! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c76a06a9b8fe819a31a2683/1551845296625-ZC4Y2UII2FYFBQVRLNYU/lacey-williams-175638-unsplash.jpg APPLICATIONS - JUICE & BEVERAGE For beverages and liquid food ingredients, UV Treatment offers the potential of a non thermal pasteurization technique that preserves the quality is cost effective, glass bottle friendly, and adaptable to a wide range of production scales. As clean label and nutrient dense food and drink become the market priority, FPE plans to make UV Treatment the industry standard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c76a06a9b8fe819a31a2683/1552016068490-ECZXNPP592WJ3R0VCJ3M/fpe.website.watertreatment.jpeg APPLICATIONS https://headwaterfpe.com/history daily 0.75 2019-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c76a06a9b8fe819a31a2683/1555508460823-6MP84FCWXQ3LHLA8PFTV/fpe.phil.old.jpeg HISTORY https://headwaterfpe.com/home-alt-bedford daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500612440-PGQSIY8KL9F7T5VIXQLO/chambers-2.jpg Home Alt A better world Starts with a choice Contact Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500503574-5BAPXZO9U06UV61P49UO/chambers1.jpg Home Alt Sustainability Starts with you Join Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500933384-LII4SRIPHFYOUFX0UCXC/chambers-4.jpg Home Alt A better world Starts with a choice Join Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390504287124-HQ8GNX1JCE22V047MSQ9/chambers-8.jpg Home Alt Preserve Nature Join Us https://headwaterfpe.com/read-me-bedford daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390928870858-4D9B6T9WGP8017NSS9W3/topography.jpg Read Me
