Wine, juice and honey pasteurizers

  The main element of our pasteurization equipment is Alfa Laval plate heat exchanger.**

  For the food industry, we use Type M and Base heat exchangers, which have the following characteristics:

• The plates are made out of AiSi 316, Titanium, SMO and others.
• Connections – DIN, Clamp (quick-mount), ISO
• Gaskets – EPDM FDA, Nitril FDA
• Design pressure – from 10 to 21 bars (depending on the type of the last plate).

   Wine pasteurization

  Usually, it takes place in a two- or a three-stage heat exchanger while heating to a temperature of 72° C (65° C). Wine is brought to the point of pasteurization (unlike milk pasteurizers, exposure is not recommended), and afterwards it enters the recovery stage, where you can set the wine’s caloric content. You can also automatically adjust the output temperature from 30 to 55° C. This stage is considered to be the main checkpoint in the pasteurization process. The PT100 type temperature sensor transmits a signal to the controller which, depending on the application logic, transmits a command to the three-way recirculation valve and / or to the steam control valve. All of the unit’s connections are made out of AiSi 304 stainless steel. The gaskets, sensors and indicators used in the pasteurization process, comply with the sanitary design standards. The system is equipped with additional security elements: safety valve, expansion tank, heat exchanger vacuum breaker, automatic bypass valves , etc.

  Juice pasteurization / sterilization

  One of the features of some juice production processes in the hot filling technology. For this method we use the single-stage heat exchanger with a hot water preparation system for instant heating of the product to 100° C - 110° C. A balance tank is installed at the pasteurizer’s inlet, to prevent the ingress of hot product during the recirculation into the pipeline with the cold product. Otherwise, this would interfere with stabilization of the heating system. For the “Thermal Shock” we use 2-stage heat exchangers, along with a recovery stage. For aseptic filling (ex. TETRA PAK) we use 3-stage installations with a temperature-controlled outlet.

  Honey pasteurization

  Occurs in a similar method, except the fact that heat exchange plate for viscous products are installed.
The heating and cooling installations use cam-driven pumps with washable gaskets.

  Beer pasteurization

  Beer pasteurization occurs much like milk pasteurization. When working with a product rich in carbon dioxide, high-pressure pumps are used to maintain the pressure level in the pasteurization unit, so as to not let the gas escape. Particular attention is paid to the exclusion of cross-contamination.

  Beer pasteurizers are usually fully automated and pre-designed for centralized SIP cleaning.
