EBCloud Platform for Controller Management
The EBCloud platform is a market innovation: it allows you to manage and update controllers from the cloud. You have an overview of all installations and can conveniently update software and program steps of controllers via the cloud - without programming knowledge, with just a few clicks on an understandable user interface in the familiar layout.
- Dashboard with overview: All installed controllers are visible on the dashboard. Names of the controllers, in which facility a specific controller is installed, date of entry - all information is available at a glance. You can quickly switch to other facilities and see all their controllers. Choose between the tile or the list view, between the light or the nowadays very popular dark mode.
- Programming in the familiar layout: Having chosen a particular controller, relays & program steps can be customized with an easy to use "click & play" editor. Define the name and type of the relays and configure that individual process step. The editor comes in the familiar matrix design, so it is immediately understandable and easy to use.
- Reduction of effort and complexity: What previously could only be done by traveling to the customer and being present on site can now be handled via a modern cloud platform. This no longer requires in-depth technical know-how, but all settings can be made in the easy-to-use editor even by people without programming skills.
The platform is deployed from a secure and high-performance cloud environment.

EBLuft Data recording and monitoring software
EBLuft is the data acquisition and process tracking software. It monitors and records all process runs in the chamber in real time and stores the data for a later review. During the treatment of the products, the diagram with the various values is drawn on the screen in real time. This way you are prepared for all HACCP-related questions in your production facility. EBLuft data acquisition software offers the following functionalities and advantages:
- Transparency and evaluability: Select the desired controller in the EBLuft program and immediately you have all past runs at hand. If the quality of products has changed, you can track what the reason for this might be.
- Tracking of most important values: Directly on the diagrams you can show and hide the curves of important values such as times, process steps, humidity, core temperature, chamber temperature, pH values F-value, C-value, relays and more.
- Management of your programs: Access to all programs on all controllers, programs can be changed or created completely from scratch within EBLuft.
- Ionsmoke evaluation: EBLuft has an Ionsmoke algorithm which compares the current smoke density with existing curves. So you can run the same quality over the whole year and detect problems immediately.
- Error forwarding via SMS and e-mail: Get notified immediately in case of errors.
- Remote support: The installation of EBLuft software allows remote access by the EBSmoke team. This greatly simplifies program optimization and problem solving wherever your facility is located.
Even with a lot of data already recorded, the EBLuft data acquisition software still performs lightning fast. Backup copies of the databases can be played locally or on a network drive at daily intervals.
Come by our booth and let us show you EBLuft and the interaction with the controller.

Ionsmoke - smoking with ionization
Ionsmoke - smoking without fine dust emmissions, fast and energy efficient
- Time - up to 70% faster smoking-steps
- Yield - up to 4% more yield
- Emissions - reducing 98% of fine dust emissions
- Energy - faster process times and less energy
- Quality - keeping track of smoke density for consitend quality
- Retrofit - existing smoke houses can be retrofitted
We want to preserve the tradition of smoking – and do justice to environmental and climate protection. This is why we have further developed the millennia-old process.
Adding Ionsmoke in your smoking chamber saves you energy, time and eliminates fine dust at the same time. This results in more yield. Ionsmoke controls the smoke density so that products always have the same quality.
Ionisation can save up to 70% on your smoking-time.
Ionsmoke works with high voltage electrodes that ionize the smoke particles in the air. The electrostatic forces then pull these towards the product, like magnetic forces. With this physical process we accelerate the smoking process significantly.
We have reduced the smoking time of bacon from two hours to twenty minutes with the use of Ionsmoke.
Better yields with Ionsmoke.
Usually we experience a weight loss when smoking products with natural smoke. A product may have already reached the inspected weight loss before the color is right. That results in lower product margins. With Ionsmoke the weight loss can be controlled and kept as low as possible. In addition, with less processing time the product appears to becomes more natural.
One of our customers filled his sausage casings with 155g sausage meat so that he can guarantee a weight of 140g. With Ionsmoke the customer now fills his sausage casings with 152g to get the same final weight.
Energy Savings
Ionsmoke needs typically only 2W. The heating capacity of a small system starts at 30,000W. The amount of time a product is kept in a smoking step directly correlates with the electrical bill.
Ionsmoke not only saves energy, but also reduces the burden on the Smoke-Generator resulting in longevity.
No Fine Dust Particles
The initial idea came from Ernst Goldener. He wanted to filter the smoke before it was released into the environment, in order to relieve his neighbours. Instead of ionizing the smoke in the chimney, he tried to do it directly in the chamber. After some initial successes, EBSmoke with Bruno Eigenmann entered the picture. With great knowledge about the treatment and smoking of food they created Ionsmoke.
The result: Economical smoking, with measurable 98% less particulate emissions while passing the products lab test better than conventional smoking.
Retrofittable
The modules fit on any vertically ventilated smoke system and are seamlessly connected to the specially developed control system. Smoking conventionally remains possible, if desired. Ionsmoke can be retrofitted on any system.
We help you customize your recipes for Ionsmoke. The module is water- and steam-proof and is extremely durable and resistant to every usual cleaning of a smoke house.
Measuring and Controlling Smoke Density
With Ionsmoke we now are able to measure the exact smoke density. Smart algorithms connect the dots over time and will adjust the smoke density accordingly to ensure a high-quality product.
Looking back on over 20 years of development our Data-Acquisition fullfills all needs for continuing food security and tracing. It includes the smoke-density colorcoded directly into the smoke-step.
