Industrial pasteurizer for efficient bacterial reduction
Ensure your food products are safe with an industrial pasteurizer, which efficiently reduces bacterial presence through controlled steam jetting, enhancing product quality and shelf life.

Reduces Bacteria with Steam Jet Pasteurization
The PV – Pasteurizer Standard and PV HE – Pasteurizer High Efficiency from GEA are designed for effective bacterial reduction in food processing applications. These models operate on a steam jetting principle, using dual ramps to distribute steam across product surfaces. Ideal for fresh pasta, snacks, and breakfast cereals, they ensure hygienic production. The PV models boast a significant reduction in steam wastage, achieving a 50% and 75% decrease, respectively, compared to traditional systems, enhancing energy efficiency. Conveyor belt widths range from 750 to 2000 mm, with pasteurization chamber lengths from 3 to 25 meters, accommodating various production scales. Fully automatic, these systems seamlessly integrate into existing lines, offering PLC controls and efficient steam management. The stainless-steel construction ensures durability and ease of cleaning with easy-access features for maintenance. Optional features like combined hot water and steam jet pre-cooking further customize processing needs.
