Pasteurization and Cooling Tunnel

Model HTK-SD-01 pasteurizes and cools packaged dairy, fruit juice and beverage products in one continuous pass. The tunnel works through staged water zones: recycling warm water pre-heats the pack, hot water pasteurizes it, warm water cools and sprays it, and cold water brings the product down. Because the pack is stepped through the temperature change instead of shocked, thermal stress on the container is controlled. Working capacity runs 3000L to 18,000L in SUS304, the working procedure can be designed to your requirement, and temperature and holding time are set and controlled automatically. Workshop output is 20Unit/Month.

Specifications are configured per project. Send your drawing, capacity or duty requirement and the build will be confirmed in writing with the quotation.
Why It Works

Key Benefits

Staged warm hot and cold water zones step the pack through the temperature change instead of shocking the container

Temperature and holding time are set and automatically controlled so the pasteurizing window is repeatable batch after batch

Recycling warm water for pre-heating recovers heat that would otherwise be dumped to drain

The working procedure is designed to your product rather than fixed which suits a plant running several recipes

Named drive and control components including SIEMENS PLC and touch screen keep spares locally sourceable

Danfoss or Mitsubishi frequency conversion lets belt speed follow the holding time you set

Problems

Problems It Solves

Direct heating and cooling stresses containers and causes pack failures

Manually judged temperature and hold times cannot be documented for a food safety audit

A fixed working procedure will not serve a plant running more than one recipe

Single pass heating without recovery wastes energy on a continuously running tunnel

Comparison

How It Compares

Retort

A retort sterilizes a batch of packs in a vessel whereas the tunnel pasteurizes and cools packs in continuous flow

Tube-in-tube UHT sterilizer

UHT treats the product in flow before filling while the tunnel treats it after the pack is sealed

Direct heating and cooling

Staged water zones control thermal stress on the container which direct heating and cooling does not

FAQ

Pasteurization and Cooling Tunnel FAQ

How does the tunnel treat the product

Recycling warm water pre-heats the pack, hot water pasteurizes it, warm water cools and sprays it, and cold water cools the product down.

Can we set the temperature and holding time

Yes. Temperature and holding time can be set and are then automatically controlled, which is what makes the profile repeatable between batches.

Can the working procedure be changed for our product

The working procedure is designed according to customer requirements, so tell us the product and the profile you need before the design stage.

Which components are fitted as standard

Imported brand chain, a JIE or Guomao reducer, UK Spirax Sarco steam regulated and drain valves, SIEMENS PLC and touch screen, and a Danfoss or Mitsubishi frequency converter.

What capacity range is available

Working capacity runs from 3000L to 18,000L and is built to the throughput you state.

What is the minimum order

One tunnel is the listed minimum, with the final quantity agreed in the quotation.

What lead time applies

Lead time follows the capacity and the working procedure designed for your product and is confirmed in writing with the quotation.
