Pasteurizer for non-alcoholic beverages
When producing non-alcoholic beverages like juices, smoothies, and concentrates, ensuring microbiological safety and extending shelf life are critical challenges. Many variables such as ingredient viscosity, heat sensitivity, and added components like seeds and pulp impact the pasteurization process.
Ensures microbiological safety and extends shelf life
The GEA Pasteurizer Systems offer a range of standardized and customized continuous pasteurization solutions suitable for hot filling, cold aseptic filling, or ultra-clean filling of non-alcoholic beverages. These systems feature advanced plate and tubular heat exchanges achieving up to 95% heat recovery, making them energy-efficient. Designed to handle ingredients with varying viscosities and sensitivities, the systems ensure thorough microbial safety while maintaining product quality. Optional recovery tanks and mixed phase detection systems reduce product loss and switchover time, ideal for dynamic production environments. Additionally, GEA heat pumps can offer up to 100% heat recovery, enhancing sustainability.
