About EBSmoke
EBSmoke AG is a Swiss company with locations in Aadorf and Bürglen TG that has been developing and distributing process controls for food processing as well as ionization technology for meat smoking since 1985. The product portfolio includes the retrofit universal control EB1, the compact control EB1s/EBmini for tumblers, autoclaves, cooking systems, cooking kettles and showers, as well as the Ionsmoke ionization process, which electrostatically charges smoke particles and thereby, according to the manufacturer, reduces smoking time by 30–50 % with up to 98 % less particulate matter in the chamber. The offering is complemented by the software solutions EBCloud with over 100 configuration templates and EBLuft for 24/7 data acquisition with HACCP compliance. The technology is compatible across systems with all common brands and is installed via a worldwide partner network. Areas of application are meat, fish and cheese processing as well as, since the partnership with Boortmalt, the production of Peated Malt for the whisky industry. Around 170–200 Ionsmoke systems and several thousand controls are in use worldwide.

Technologies & Processes
Ionization smoking
Electrostatically charged smoke particles shorten the smoking time by up to 70 % and reduce particulate matter in the chamber by up to 98 %; can be retrofitted to existing smoking systems.
Universal control EB1
Retrofit control with large display for smoking systems of all common brands, with customizable programs and recipe progress display.
Compact control EB1s/EBmini
Control in A5 size for tumblers, autoclaves, cooking systems, cooking kettles and showers, easily replaceable on existing machines with little effort.
Data acquisition EBLuft
Software for 24/7 recording and visualization of all process data, connected to the controls and HACCP-compliant.
Configuration software EBCloud
Configuration of the controls with over 100 templates for different system types.

Quality & HACCP
HACCP compliance is ensured via the EBLuft software connected to the controls, which records and visualizes all processes in the systems. The installation of controls and ionization is carried out on systems of all common brands, with a 24-month warranty and fault forwarding by e-mail and SMS.
