In Line Flow Pasteurizers
Moravek’s AP model flow pasteurizer has been designed for the in-line pasteurization of still beverages with a fruit content of up to 100% and sugar syrup not exceeding 70 Brix. The temperature of pasteurization is adjustable within the range of 70 to 100 °C.
The AP model has been developed to enable flow pasteurization of beverages directly into a filler or any other suitable equipment. The pasteurizer consists of an efficient plate heat exchanger which is constructed with three independent sections, a main and a booster pump, heating circuit, cooling circuit and a compact valve cluster with two product tanks. The model is fitted to a base frame which includes the flow distributing plate and electric control panel.
Main features
- The AP model delivers high quality pasteurization while maintaining an exact temperature as well as flow and time delay control even during an irregular filler run.
- The fully automatic changeover from water to beverage is designed to ensure minimum loss during any procedure.
- Energy recovery of up to 92% is made possible through the use of an extremely efficient plate heat exchanger.
- An indirect hot water circuit can be used to heat the product using steam or electricity if required on request.
- Hot sterilisation is automatically carried out prior to use.
- In the event of an emergency or electricity failure the product is stored and hot sterilisation takes place.
- Products are automatically prevented from accumulating in the tank after a longer break.
- Heat exchange plates include positive pressure difference control.
- Delivery pressure is fully adjustable.
- An automatic CIP procedure is included with the model without the need for a separate CIP unit.
- The Allen-Bradley control system incorporates a 6” TFT display for easy operation.
- Pasteurization records can be printed.
- The ability to communicate with syrup room, mixer and filler is fitted as standard.
- Operator intervention is unnecessary with the exception of the changeover of flowplate and during the initial choice of procedure on the control panel.
- The AP model is simple to operate and maintain with easily changed fully automatic procedures and minimal moving parts.
- A different length temperature time delay snake can be fitted on request.
