Pasteurization Production Lines

Pasteurization production lines are essential thermal processing systems designed to eliminate harmful microorganisms while preserving product quality, flavor, and nutritional value. These automated systems are widely used across dairy, beverage, food processing, and pharmaceutical industries to ensure product safety and extend shelf life.

Comprehensive Pasteurization Solutions for Every Application

UNITY offers specialized milk pasteurizer systems that deliver precise temperature control between 72-85°C, effectively eliminating pathogens while retaining essential nutrients and fresh taste. Our tunnel pasteurization equipment provides continuous processing capabilities for bottled beverages including beer, juice, and milk products. For viscous materials like sauces, jams, and ketchup, our industrial paste processing lines feature advanced heating and cooling mechanisms. Additionally, our bag pasteurizers operate at 95°C for meat products and packaged foods, while specialized juice pasteurization tunnels handle both canned and bottled formats with high-temperature sterilization capabilities.

Technical Excellence and Performance Standards

Our pasteurization systems feature precision-engineered components constructed from SUS304/316L stainless steel, ensuring compliance with FDA, CE, 3A, and ISO international sanitary standards. Temperature control accuracy reaches ±0.5°C through advanced PLC automation, while heat recovery efficiency exceeds 90% via optimized plate heat exchanger technology. Processing capacity ranges from 500L/hour for small-scale operations to 50,000L/hour for industrial production, with adjustable sterilization times between 6-50 minutes depending on product characteristics. Our systems accommodate diverse material viscosities and particle-containing liquids, making them suitable for both low-temperature long-time (LTLT) and high-temperature short-time (HTST) pasteurization processes.

Industry Applications and Turnkey Integration

UNITY's pasteurization production lines serve multiple industries including dairy processing for fresh milk, flavored milk, yogurt, and cream products; beverage manufacturing for fruit juices, plant-based drinks, beer, wine, and functional beverages; food processing operations handling sauces, soups, baby food, and ready-to-eat meals; as well as pharmaceutical applications requiring sterile liquid preparations. Our turnkey solutions encompass complete system design, equipment manufacturing, on-site installation, operator training, and comprehensive after-sales support. Each production line integrates seamlessly with existing filling, packaging, and quality control systems, ensuring optimized workflow efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between pasteurization and sterilization?
Pasteurization uses moderate heating (typically 72-95°C) to eliminate pathogenic bacteria while preserving product quality and nutrients. Sterilization employs higher temperatures (121°C or above) to destroy all microorganisms but may affect taste and nutritional content. Pasteurization is ideal for dairy products, juices, and beverages where maintaining fresh flavor is crucial.

How does HTST pasteurization work compared to LTLT methods?
High Temperature Short Time (HTST) pasteurization heats products to 72-85°C for 15-30 seconds, offering higher throughput and better nutrient retention. Low Temperature Long Time (LTLT) processes operate at 63-65°C for 30 minutes, suitable for smaller batches and heat-sensitive products. Our systems support both methods with programmable control parameters.

What maintenance requirements exist for pasteurization equipment?
Regular CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) cycles ensure hygienic operation without disassembly. Daily monitoring includes temperature sensors, pressure gauges, and flow meters. Quarterly inspection covers heat exchanger plates, seals, and pumps. We provide comprehensive technical support including remote diagnostics, spare parts supply, and on-site service when needed.

Can pasteurization lines handle products with particulates?
Yes, our systems accommodate products containing fruit pulp, vegetable pieces, or other particles up to 12mm diameter. Specialized pump designs prevent product damage while maintaining consistent flow rates. Heat exchangers feature wider gaps to prevent clogging, ensuring reliable processing of chunky sauces, jams, and specialty beverages.
