ALITECH PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
Nixtamal Cooking Technology

Advantages of ALITECH Technology

We are proud to offer innovative and efficient solutions for the food industry, focused on the development of technology for the production of high-quality nixtamal and corn tortillas. At Nextamalli, we are passionate about corn and its culture, and we believe in the power of technology to improve food production and quality.

Our patented ALITECH technology allows for the cooking of nixtamal with gas savings of up to 40%, while preserving 95% of the nutrients in the maize pericarp and providing an extra yield of 400 grams for every kilo of cooked maize. With our nixtamal cooking reactors, it is possible to reduce cooking time to 2 hours, compared to the traditional method with a paila, which takes 12 to 15 hours to cook the nixtamal. In addition, our reactors produce less solid waste, with a reduction of 1% compared to the 8%-12% average of tortilla shops using traditional methods. If you are looking for innovative and efficient solutions for the production of high-quality nixtamal and corn tortillas, Nextamalli is your best choice!
