Pasteurisation

The trace infections and cross contamination of micro-organisms transmitted from the production process can only be detected after a considerable delay.

This enormous risk can be avoided by pasteurization. Thanks to the recuperative design of the flash pasteurizer system, sometimes up to 96 percent of the heat input can be recovered. This makes flash pasteurization the most cost-effective of all heat treatments used today.

Microbiologically unstable products packaged and delivered to the customer are a big concern to the producer. Trace infections and cross-contamination of microorganisms transmitted from the production process can only be detected after a considerable delay. This enormous risk can be minimized.

The best way to achieve stable product quality and full taste is pasteurization or flash pasteurization. The thermal inactivation of microorganisms helps the producer to define the microbiological properties of his product. As with all methods for the reduction of microorganisms, the efficiency is dependent on the initial organism count in the untreated beverage. A measure of the microbiological effect of the heat treatment is the number of pasteurization units (PU) applied.

In the flash pasteurizer, the product is treated gently in a continuous process immediately prior to packaging. Microorganisms that could spoil the beer are destroyed fast without harming the product. This process step enables producers to ensure the sustained quality of their product.

Flash pasteurization is a safe and cost-effective method ensuring uncompromised quality. In particular our attention is focused on process safety resulting inconsistently high product quality. Our design takes into account all relevant parameters to reliably prevent off-flavours and colour changes of the product.

Our pasteurization unit is a highly efficient unit. Thanks to the recuperative design, depending on the product, as much as 96% of the heat input can be recovered. This makes flash pasteurization the most cost-effective of all heat treatment methods today.

The design and function of the system must be individually planned and tailored to the type of product to be treated. Based on far sighted planning we focus on hygienically sound high quality process modules and components ensuring maximum long-term reliability.
