Spiral pasteurization system for packaged foods
Enhance product durability and quality with a compact spiral pasteurization system, optimizing heat and cooling processes for minimal germ presence in packaged foods.
Pasteurizes and Cools Packaged Foods Efficiently
The alco Spiral Pasto ASW from alco food-machines is a versatile pasteurizer and cooler designed for efficient thermal processing of packaged foods across multiple industries, including bakery, confectionery, poultry, meat, seafood, and plant-based proteins. This space-saving system uses spiral technology to conduct precise pasteurization and cooling processes. It features a dual-zone operation with separate heating and cooling areas, where products like sausages, tortellini, and plant-based patties are swiftly heated to eliminate harmful microorganisms and then cooled to enhance shelf life.
The machine supports a variety of packaging types and sizes, maintaining product integrity through gentle and uniform heating, aided by nozzle bars that ensure even water distribution. Its adjustable spiral belt guide allows for flexible assembly in diverse production environments while accommodating high-speed, continuous operations. Electrical, thermal oil, or steam-powered heating options are available, with dehumidification systems to optimize atmospheric conditions.
The alco Spiral Pasto ASW integrates seamlessly with existing lines, offering PLC control for automation and customization, and is designed for easy cleaning and maintenance with hinged ventilators and optional belt drying systems. This equipment is ideal for food manufacturers seeking to improve product quality and longevity while optimizing energy consumption.
