Pasteurization

Pasteurization is a one-time heating of a product in order to destroy bacteria in it and extend its shelf life. The temperature at which the process takes place varies depending on the raw material and the pasteurization method. The technology was invented in the second half of the nineteenth century by French biologist Louis Pasteur. It was he who determined the relationship between heat treatment and increasing the shelf life of products. It is difficult to overestimate how important this discovery was for the food industry. Perishable food became stored much longer in packages, which increased the time for its sale, therefore, profit. Now pasteurization is an integral part of most industries. Therefore, the need for heat exchange equipment for such items will be relevant for a very long time.

Calculation of heat exchangers

How the price for the pasteurizer is calculated

Based on a questionnaire completed by the customer, a heat exchanger is chosen. The pasteurizer cost price is determined on the basis of material costs, taking into account labour costs. Additionally, we discuss with the customer the material performance of plates and frames, the number ofconnections in unit, the need for separate product outlets for separation, homogenization or other manufacturing processes.
From all of the above, unit price is compiled.

Types of heat exchangers for pasteurization

In 99% of cases, the pasteurizer will be a gasketed plate heat exchanger. Wide-channel devices may be used as options, in most cases for very viscous fluids or products containing large solid mechanical particles.
Gasketed plate heat exchangers owe their appearance to the legislation of the UK that became severe. Pasteurization of products has become mandatory in order to prevent epidemics. This is due to such a certainty in the selection of equipment. Gasketed heat exchangers are also very convenient for cleaning and replacing components, which is important for food production. So, for example, milk pasteurizers should be washed after each shift and at least once a week it is necessary to perform full cleaning.

Plate pasteurizer of milk, beer, etc.

Pasteurizer is a heat exchanger designed for heat treatment (pasteurization) in the food industry. Initially, they were used solely as pasteurizers for milk, but with the development of industry and technology, they became applicable in other industries. Further, the thing was limited not only to milk, but also to other fermented milk products – cream, whey, condensed milk. Besides, they are used for the alcohol industry, for example, as a beer pasteurizer. Also, they are relevant for wine production, in the manufacture of juices or concentrates, low alcohol drinks.
