Balance tank for pasteurization systems
Ensure consistent product quality with precise liquid holding and heating capabilities, optimizing your pasteurization process to maintain safety and flavor in every batch.

Regulates and Stabilizes Pasteurization Flow
A&B Process Systems offers Balance and HTST Tanks, designed to provide vital stabilization in pasteurization processes for dairy and beverage industries. These tanks maintain a consistent product flow by holding unpasteurized products at precise levels and ensure an effective net positive suction head to the HTST booster pump. Suitable for a range of applications, including milk, almond milk, and cold brew coffee, they support both batch and continuous operations.
The tanks are engineered for customization, allowing integration with existing processing lines. Constructed from high-quality materials, they comply with ASME pressure vessel standards, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance. With features like sloped bottoms and hinged lids, these tanks promote efficient drainage and easy cleaning. Available in standard sizes ranging from 30 to 300 gallons, they offer a balance between quicker shipping and reduced overall costs, making them a valuable addition to any food processing line.
