Peru project planning: Check DIGESA food registration and sanitary obligations for applicable industrially processed foods; SENASA rules for primary agricultural foods and feed; and SANIPES requirements for fisheries and aquaculture. Relevant INACAL standards and machinery import requirements must be assessed per product and project. No blanket Peruvian certification is claimed.
CASE STUDIES
Selected international processing project references.
Selected equipment installations in Asia and the United States, including continuous ovens, cranberry pomace drying and coconut processing lines.
Automated Gas-Fired Continuous Oven System
Supplied a PLC- and HMI-controlled continuous oven with integrated CIP for producing caramel, cinnamon and cheddar-flavoured rice cakes. The system replaced an older, labour-intensive oven and enabled faster product changeovers, automated recipe control and improved hygiene.
CONTINUOUS OUTPUT5,000–6,000pieces/hour · Continuous production capacity with final moisture below 2%
PROJECT OUTCOME
Integrated CIP, adjustable temperature zones and controlled residence time reduced cleaning downtime while improving product consistency and production flexibility.
U.S. Fruit-Ingredient Manufacturer
Supplied a steam-based continuous band dryer for high-moisture cranberry pomace, replacing three separate dryers with one integrated system. The solution simplified operations, reduced maintenance and energy requirements, and delivered consistent moisture suitable for milling into functional powders and fibre ingredients.
CAPACITY IMPROVEMENT7–8×higher capacity · Processing 1,600–1,800 lb/hour from approximately 70% to below 8% moisture
PROJECT OUTCOME
A single continuous drying line delivered higher throughput, consistent product quality and improved process efficiency.
PT Salim Ivomas Pratama Tbk
Delivered a complete High-Fat Desiccated Coconut processing line—from raw coconut receiving and preparation to blanching, drying support, grading and final packing. The food-grade SS 304 system was engineered for continuous industrial production with reduced manual handling and consistent product quality.

PERU · REGULATORY FAQ
Food Safety, Machinery & Import FAQs
Practical guidance on Peru’s DIGESA, SENASA and SANIPES authorities, INACAL technical standards and machinery import documentation. Verify project-specific requirements with the responsible agencies.
Which Peruvian authorities regulate food processing?
DIGESA oversees relevant industrially processed foods and beverages; SENASA covers primary agricultural foods and feed; SANIPES regulates fisheries and aquaculture products. Competence varies by product and process.
When is DIGESA sanitary registration necessary?
Applicable industrially processed foods and beverages may require sanitary registration with DIGESA. Confirm product category, exclusions and the current procedure before marketing. Supreme Decree 007-98-SA establishes a foundational framework for sanitary control of foods and beverages.
What rules apply to primary agricultural foods and animal feed?
SENASA administers the Agro-Food Safety Regulation under Supreme Decree 004-2011-AG, as amended. Operators should review hygiene, traceability and applicable authorizations for their activities.
Who certifies fish and seafood processing facilities?
SANIPES is the relevant sanitary authority for hydrobiological products and aquaculture, including applicable facility authorizations, registrations and export sanitary certificates. Requirements depend on the product and destination.
Are INACAL technical standards mandatory for every machine?
Peruvian Technical Standards (NTP) are generally voluntary, but specific technical regulations or legal references can make identified requirements compulsory. Do not assume universal certification of imported food-processing equipment.
Are HACCP and ISO 22000 always mandatory?
Food safety controls are essential; HACCP-based requirements can apply to relevant food operations depending on product and regulation. ISO 22000 certification is not automatically compulsory for all food factories and may be requested by customers.
What documents are reviewed when importing processing machinery?
Confirm customs classification, commercial invoice, packing list, shipping documents and any applicable permits, conformity evidence or electrical requirements with the importer, customs broker and Peruvian authorities.
Can GEM Foodtech help with sanitary design and engineering documents?
GEM Foodtech can review process flow, food-contact materials, cleanability, utilities and available equipment documents. Official registrations, operating permits and certifications remain the responsibility of the project owner and competent authorities.
