Tunnel pasteurizer for beverages

Optimize your beverage production with precise pasteurization control, ensuring product quality and safety without over-pasteurizing, even during conveyor stops.

Pasteurizes and Conveys Beverages Efficiently

The Tunnel Pasteurizer from Comac is a robust, stainless steel unit designed specifically for beverage manufacturers seeking efficient pasteurization for beer, juices, and soft drinks. Utilizing a precise multi-temperature shower system, it ensures optimal pasteurization and cooling while preventing over-pasteurization with its automated monitoring system. Suitable for applications across the food and beverage industry, it handles various end-products like IPA beer, hard seltzer, and non-alcoholic drinks with a focus on preserving quality and flavor.

Engineered for seamless integration, the pasteurizer features an adaptable conveyor system that facilitates continuous operation and adjustable feed rates, customizable to match your production schedule. Equipped with an operator panel, it offers comprehensive control over the cycle durations and settings, ensuring minimal energy expenditure through a water-saving setup.

Constructed with AISI 304 stainless steel, it boasts corrosion resistance and rugged durability under demanding industrial conditions. The unit’s compliance with industry standards is matched by its user-friendly CIP (Clean-in-Place) capabilities, ensuring ease of cleaning and maintenance without excessive downtime.

Whether you’re scaling up production or testing new recipes, Comac provides engineering support and customization options, including pilot plants for non-standard products, ensuring the correct pasteurization cycle for every unique application.
