Continuous flash pasteurizer for beverage shelf life extension
Maximize beverage shelf life with precise microbial and enzyme inactivation, ensuring product safety and quality through seamless integration into your pasteurization line.
Ensures Microbial Stability and Extends Shelf Life
The Innopro KZE C flash pasteurizer, developed by KHS Group, offers precise microbial inactivation and enzyme deactivation to extend the shelf life of beverages. Designed for continuous operation, it heats products using plate heat exchangers in a counterflow mechanism, followed by cooling in a fully integrated system for smooth processing into the filling stage. Suitable for beer, juices, soft drinks, and liquid foods, it handles up to 60,000 liters per hour, ensuring efficiency and consistency across production lines. The system includes a buffer tank for uninterrupted pasteurization and leverages level-controlled power regulation to minimize energy consumption and media usage.
The Innopro KZE C adapts to various production needs with models ranging from hygienic to ultraclean aseptic systems—ideal for beverage manufacturers prioritizing safety and quality. Integrated electronic data acquisition supports parameter archiving for quality assurance. The pasteurizer can be seamlessly incorporated into existing and new production lines, supporting operational flexibility with switchable PU and temperature controls. For enhanced energy efficiency, the system features product preheating for hot filling applications. Options for monotube or multitube systems ensure adaptability to product viscosity and processing requirements, while customizable settings and engineering support provide tailored solutions to your production challenges.
