Continuous pasteurization unit

XTherm is a compact pasteurizing plant (assembled on a skid) for the automatic thermal treatment of the finished beverage lines: the system uses the latest technologies in the field of pasteurization; the pasteurization process takes place by reaching and maintaining the temperature of the product to be treated, while the flow rate is kept constant by using sanitary centrifugal pumps controlled by inverter.
In addition, another technology implemented by Sipa is the XBlend compact mixing unit for beverage production automation.

Pasteurization temperature up to 98°C.
Filler supply temperature min ÷ max: 80 … 90°C.
Temperature accuracy: ± 0.5°C or better (steady conditions).
Flow rate accuracy: ±1 % i.v or better (steady conditions).

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Pasteurization
The inlet product to the buffer storage tank, reaches the solution heating stage through a centrifugal or volumetric pump.
The heating of the solution is obtained in two steps, one thanks to the energy recovery of the heat exchanger and the other with the aid of a hot-water circuit .
Achieving and controlling of the pasteurization temperature occurs with the aid of a hot water circuit which allows a much more responsive and accurate temperature control, avoiding the problems related to the exchanger’s fouling.
The final stabilisation is carried out within the holding stage piping. The solution cool down in two steps, one thanks to the energy recovery of the heat exchanger, and the other with the aid of cold water which controls the filler inlet temperature.
In case of hot filling cooling of the returning product from the filler, takes place in two steps using tower water and cold water in order to achieve the desired recycling temperature, and it could be recovered in a scrap recovery tank.
