Description:
Pasteurization of milk is required to destroy pathogens and reduce the number of microorganisms exposed to temperature. Therefore, the temperature and duration of heating the product are the main factors determining pasteurization’s effectiveness.
Plate-type pasteurizing and cooling units are designed for heat treatment of milk in the production of pasteurized milk and milk used for the production of fermented milk products, as well as for pasteurization of cream and ice cream mixture.
The milk pasteurizer is used to rapidly heat milk in a thin layer, a closed flow, and its subsequent cooling after a short exposure. The technological process of heat treatment of milk is automated, ensuring high sanitary and hygienic production conditions, excluding the release of unpasteurized milk and preventing its overheating.
The pasteurizer consists of an integrated plate-heat exchanger block, an equalizing tank with a valve-float device, a flow uniformity regulator, a boiler with a steam injector for heating water, and centrifugal pumps for milk and hot water, a control panel, automatic valves, and a holding section.
The main part is a combined plate heat exchanger, where the milk flows for pre-heating, pasteurization, and cooling.
