Energy-efficient hot filling system for beverages
In beverage production, optimizing energy consumption and maintaining product quality during hot filling are critical challenges. This process requires a reliable system to heat and supply the product efficiently without compromising on the quality or stability of the final product.
Efficient hot filling for beverages.
The Innopro HF Pasteurization and Heating System by KHS is designed for energy-efficient hot filling of various beverages, including non-carbonated drinks and juices with different viscosity levels. The system features two versions based on the type of beverage: a plate version for low-viscosity products and a tubular heat exchanger version for high-viscosity products. The plate version is ideal for standard beverages with low fiber and pulp content, offering continuous heating while managing the temperature precisely. The tubular version accommodates thicker products or those with high fiber content, offering multiple tube options to handle higher viscosity efficiently. Both system configurations can achieve a throughput capacity of up to 45,000 liters per hour. Utilizing warm product deaeration with flavor recovery, the system reduces the residual oxygen content to maintain product quality. Additionally, heat recovery from the bottler cooler can be integrated to save up to 50% of the energy required for heating, making the system highly energy efficient.
