Technical Specifications & Performance Data The PG Used Pasteurizer PG
2008 is a stainless steel tunnel pasteurizer/rain cooler designed for
reliable thermal treatment of jars, bottles, and cans within a used
bottling line or food processing line. Built for tomato purée in 0.72
L glass bottles, it provides controlled heating and cooling via shower
pasteurization and efficient water recovery. Manufacturer: PG Year:
2008 Construction: All stainless steel, hygienic design Conveyor: PG
Intralox mesh modular belt Useful tunnel length: 13,500 mm Net tunnel
width: 2,000 mm Water recovery: 3 tanks with dedicated pumps Process:
Rain shower pasteurization and cooling Heat exchanger: Not equipped
Process recorder: Included Steam system: Steam regulation group with
stainless steel hood and outlet Infeed/outfeed: Belts for jars, cans,
or pots Bottle/jar format: 0.72 L primary configuration Container
types: Designed for glass; adaptability to PET bottles and aluminum
cans subject to engineering check and change parts Capacity/speed:
Program- and product-dependent; available upon request after thermal
program definition Advanced Automation & Control Systems This second
hand tunnel pasteurizer features a stainless steel electrical panel
and an integrated process recorder to document pasteurization
temperatures and dwell times. A steam regulation group provides stable
thermal control across zones, supporting consistent pasteurization
units (PU) when configured for beverage production or viscous foods.
Control interface: Stainless steel panel with process recorder
Automation: Automated shower zones with adjustable steam control
Electrical: Specifications to be confirmed; configurable to site
requirements Safety: Safety features included with interlocked access,
emergency stops, and guarded moving parts Documentation: Manuals
available for operation and maintenance Production Line Integration
Capabilities Engineered to sit downstream of filling and capping and
upstream of labeling, drying, and end-of-line packaging, this
pasteurizer integrates smoothly within a used bottling line or
industrial packaging setup. Infeed and outfeed conveyors facilitate
connection with depalletizers, rinsing machines, fillers, cappers, and
labelers. Compatible with fillers for jars, bottles, and cans (glass,
PET, aluminum) Functions after filling/capping and before labeling and
case packing Format change potential with suitable guides, carriers,
and programming Supports products from sauces and spreads to certain
beverages (e.g., beer, cider, soft drinks, water, juice, wine) when
thermally appropriate Machine Condition & Maintenance History The unit
is currently in storage in preserved condition. It was previously
configured to process tomato purée in 720 ml glass bottles. Visual
condition is consistent with a maintained industrial machine;
recommissioning may include inspections of pumps, seals, belt modules,
and steam controls. Manuals are available to support installation,
testing, and operator training. Status: In storage Previous
application: 0.72 L glass bottles (tomato purée) Included: Safety
features and documentation Recommended: Pre-start service,
calibration, and functional test Operational Performance & Versatility
Designed as a rain cooler/pasteurizer, the system provides gentle and
uniform heat transfer suitable for viscous foods like spreads and
sauces, minimizing label damage and container shock. With appropriate
change parts and process validation, it can U6354234 be adapted to
handle a range of container materials and formats, aligning with
beverage production needs or mixed product lines in industrial
packaging. Ideal for spreads, sauces, tomato-based products, and
similar viscous foods Potential to process beer, cider, soft drinks,
juice, and water when configured Glass primary format; PET bottles and
aluminum cans possible with validation Stable PU delivery with
program-controlled steam and shower zones Installation Requirements &
Site Preparation Before integration, confirm footprint, utility
capacities, and access for maintenance. Provide clearances for
operator walkways and service access along the length and both sides
of the tunnel. Footprint: Approx. 13.5 m length x 2.0 m net width;
allow additional space for access and conveyors Steam: Stable steam
supply sized to thermal load Water: Process and make-up water with
suitable flow and quality; floor drains for recovery tanks Electrical:
Power supply to panel; details to be verified Ventilation: Ducting for
stainless steel steam hood/outlet Flooring: Level, load-bearing, with
adequate drainage Safety Standards & Compliance Certification The
machine incorporates mechanical guards, interlocks, and emergency
stops consistent with industrial practice for tunnel equipment. All
product-contact and structural components are stainless steel to
support hygiene, cleanability, and HACCP-oriented workflows.
