Effective pasteurization system for beverage industry
Maximize beverage safety with efficient heating and cooling processes, ensuring flexible adaptation to evolving production demands and energy conservation.
Pasteurizes and Heats Beverages for Safe Storage
The Tetra Pak® Pasteurizer BC is an innovative solution designed for beverage manufacturers looking to streamline their production processes while ensuring product quality and safety. This unit is equipped with a plate heat exchanger to effectively pasteurize and heat beverages for aseptic and hot-filled applications. It is particularly suited for processing fruit juices, still drinks, and nectars, facilitating safe ambient temperature storage. The unit offers flexible capacity options, ranging from 3,000 to 30,000 liters per hour, to accommodate varying production scales.
The system is highly automated, featuring integrated PLC with a user-friendly operator panel for process monitoring and control. It boasts energy efficiency, achieving up to 20% energy savings through optimized temperature control, while a unique automatic hibernation feature minimizes energy and water use during downtime. Additionally, booster pumps and a divert system ensure consistent pasteurization, with pressure differential and temperature monitoring maintaining both product integrity and safety.
Constructed with corrosion-resistant materials, the pasteurizer offers low maintenance, supported by a CIP system for seamless cleaning. It is also upgradable to adapt to future production changes and is backed by comprehensive engineering support for customized configurations.
