Overview
Beer Pasteurizer is a process module designed for pasteurization of beer and other carbonated beverages.
Application
Beer Pasteurizer is an automatic pasteurization machine for beer. Beer Pasteurizer uses a pasteurization method that eliminates microbiological spoilage, achieves the right pasteurization temperature and preserves the quality and shelf life of beer and other carbonated drinks over a variable flow range.
Benefits
- Destruction or reduction of harmful micro-organisms which are capable of growing in beer
- Pasteurisation guarantees practically unlimited biological stability of the beer
- Long-term pasteurisation - pasteurisation in the container - TUNNEL
- Short-term pasteurisation - bulk pasteurisation -PLATE
Design
Beer Pasteurizer is a self-contained process module, preassembled and factory tested before delivery. The system design provides sufficient pressure levels as to avoid gas breakout at all times during the pasteurization process.
Working principles
Beer Pasteurizer system is used for eliminating or reducing the number of live microorganisms in the product with the aim of improving microbiological stability and to increase shelf life of the product. The required heat treatment is achieved through a combination of temperature and holding time. This level of pasteurization is quantified as Pasteurization Units (PU) and calculated as follows:
PU = t/60 * 1.393 (T-60)
t is the holding time in seconds and T is the pasteurization temperature in °C.
Depending on selected configuration, the flow through the BEER PASTEURIZER module can continuously be adjusted in order to cater for variation in filling machine demand. As changes in flow will result in changes in the holding time, the pasteurization temperature must be adjusted to maintain a constant PU effect.
The BEER PASTEURIZER module is fully automated with a PLC system controlling the plant operation. Selection of functions is done through easy and logical operator interaction via a colour touch panel / display.
