Food pasteurizer for prepared foods
In the food processing industry, ensuring the safety and shelf-life of prepared foods like ketchup, tomato paste, and soy sauces is critical. High temperatures are used to eliminate harmful bacteria and enzymes that can spoil food. However, finding a versatile pasteurization system that is both cost-effective and efficient can be challenging.
Efficiently pasteurize diverse prepared foods
The Tetra Pak® Pasteurizer PFC is a versatile and investment-efficient unit designed for the pasteurization of a wide range of prepared foods. This system accommodates multiple types of heat exchangers, making it suitable for both high viscous products, which require tubular heat exchangers at temperatures up to 140°C, and low viscous products that are better treated with plate heat exchangers. Its automated emptying and filling functions, controlled by precise sensors, significantly reduce product waste, resulting in substantial cost savings of up to €35,000 annually. The modular design of the pasteurizer speeds up the introduction of new products by 20%, as it is pre-tested and validated before delivery. It allows for different degrees of automation, from stand-alone to full line solutions, all of which can be integrated into Tetra Pak’s supervisory system, Tetra PlantMaster, for comprehensive operational oversight.
