Last year, Elea’s regional partner for China – Beijing Lenno Trade Co., Ltd. – installed the first Elea PEF Advantage B1 system in Liwayway (China) Co., Ltd.’s potato chips line. Recently, Liwayway placed an order for a second unit to be commissioned in October 2022.
“At Elea and Lenno we are honored and proud to work with the Liwayway (China) Co., Ltd. team,” the company recently announced.
Elea systems use a non-thermal effect termed electroporation, a low-energy and short-in-time process to induce cell disintegration, manage tissue texture and improve mass and energy transport. As a leading supplier of Pulsed Electric Fields (PEF) systems for the food and beverage industry, Elea has installed since its foundation in 2012 more than 200 industrial-scale systems in French fries, potato chips processing, vegetable, and fruit juice industries.
Elea PEF benefits included a higher slicing performance and yield, reduced frying time and temperature, a lower oil uptake, and improved final product quality.

Beijing Lenno Trade Co., Ltd. is a professional agency for an advanced food processing machinery, imported from Europe and North America and Elea’s exclusive agent for the Chinese market.
“Besides our Elea PEF systems from Quakenbruck, Lenno’s imported machinery include FAM cutters from Belgium, MHS slicers and KOLBE bandsaws/mincers from Germany, KEY sorters/shakers from the Netherlands and USA, and FINIS vege processing lines from the Netherlands, etc.,” according to the press release.
Lenno focuses not only on single machine sets but also on turn-key projects with comprehensive production lines. Meanwhile, Lenno also provides its customers professional after-sale services and technical support.
In 2021, Lenno established an over 800 sqm demo center and testing lab in its Beijing office. It is currently equipped with Elea’s PEF Advantage B1 system, varieties of FAM cutters, and other demo machines of imported food processors.
“Lenno believes that it is very important to have demo machines available for visits and trials to provide visual and accurate test results for reference before purchase. Therefore, Lenno is welcoming customers from all around China to visit and test at any time,” the company’s experts added.
