The purpose of pasteurization is to increase the shelf life of the juice by inactivating all the micro-organisms it contains that are responsible for unwanted chemical changes. The heat treatment enables the product to be made biologically stable. Since the heat can have negative effects on the juice’s organoleptic features, this treatment has to be conducted as quickly as possible.
The pasteurizing units for fruit juices are suitable for many uses in the fruit juice and beverage production sector in general. Available with plate or tube heat exchangers, depending on the amount of fiber contained in the product, they are made of stainless steel and can be automatic or semiautomatic.
They are fitted with a system of probes that enable all the parameters needed to guarantee a perfect pasteurization to be viewed and printed. The units are easy to install and ready for washing with the aid of a CIP system, having been designed and manufactured to ensure the utmost hygiene.
They are available with customizable flow rates to suit every client’s needs.
