APV PASTEURIZATION SYSTEM FOR FISH BROTH 1,000 LITRES/HOUR
Automatic system designed for the pasteurization of 1,000 litres/hour
of strained fish broth for subsequent packaging.
Manufacturer: APV
Year: 2002
OPERATION DESCRIPTION:
- Inlet temperature: 20 °C
- Process temperature: 105 °C
- Outlet temperature for packaging: 35 °C
The whole process consists of different stages that can be programmed
using the control panel:
1. Sterilization: carried out by the circulation of hot water at a
temperature of 115-120 °C for 30 minutes.
2. Production with water: cooling water flows inside the circuit until
the process temperature that will be applied to the product is
reached.
3. Production: the unprocessed product is fed into the regulation tank
and then the production phase takes place in the circuit.
4. Cleaning-in-place: the installation is cleaned in place by
recirculating detergents poured manually into the regulation tank and
then heated by the heating section of the system.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS:
A) Closed regulation tank. 200-litre capacity. Made of AISI 304
stainless steel. With three sensors for maximum, medium and minimum
levels.
B) APV centrifugal pump, model W+50/8. Designed for 1,000 l/h. With 3
kW motor. All parts in contact with the product are made of AISI 316
stainless steel.
C) Gaulin homogenizer, model 15-3.0 B. Single stage.
Designed for 1,000 l/h, max. temperature 50 °C, homogenisation
pressure 200 bar.
11 kW/3x380 V/50 Hz electric motor.
Made of stainless steel, including some AISI 316 parts.
The product leaves the plate heat exchanger at around 50-55 °C and
flows into the homogeniser, where it is subjected to a pressure of
180-200 bar, and then returns to the exchanger to complete the heat
treatment.
D) APV plate heat exchanger, model H17.
Designed to heat 1,000 l/h of liquid from 20 °C to 110 °C, and then
cool it to 35 °C.
Working pressure 10 bar, design temperature 130 °C.
AISI 316 stainless steel plates with EPDM gaskets and AISI 304
frame.
E) Heat maintenance H51249930 system.
Designed to keep the product at pasteurisation temperature for 3
minutes. It consists of sections of polished AISI 316 stainless steel
tubing welded together and mounted on a stainless steel frame. It can
be shortened to reduce the maintenance time to 1.5 minutes.
F) Hot water production system. Including APV centrifugal pump, model
W+10/8. With 0.75 kW motor.
G) General interconnections of the pasteurisation system consisting of
various valves, stainless steel pipes, inspection hole for visual
control, etc.
H) Automatic control panel housing PLC for automatized control of the
plant and programming of the different stages, display screen,
temperature recorder, starters for all motors, and other necessary
electrical and pneumatic elements.
N.B.: The Gaulin 15-3.0 B homogeniser and the APV H17 plate exchanger
can also be purchased separately from the rest of the system.
