Available for sale is a high-quality Europool single deck tunnel
pasteurizer, manufactured in Italy in 2022. The machine is designed
for the continuous pasteurization of beer in 330 ml glass bottles at a
nominal capacity of 24,000 bottles per hour.
The pasteurizer is constructed in hygienic AISI 304 stainless steel
and comprises a 17-metre treatment tunnel with seven process zones.
The thermal cycle includes first and second heating,
pre-pasteurization, pasteurization, and three controlled cooling
stages. Automatic temperature regulation and an integrated
Pasteurization Unit control system ensure consistent product treatment
and help prevent over-pasteurization during production
interruptions.
Energy recovery between selected heating and cooling zones reduces
utility demand and improves overall process efficiency. The machine is
equipped with recirculating water tanks, double-filtered pumps,
stainless-steel spray manifolds and nozzles, heat exchangers, and
direct steam injection for accurate temperature control.
Automation is based on a Siemens PLC with a Siemens KTP700 operator
panel. The control system supports recipe-based operation, production
data storage via USB, alarm monitoring, and digital communication with
upstream and downstream equipment.
Main components include SEW gearmotors, Lowara/Ebara circulation
pumps, and electrical and control equipment from Siemens, Schneider
Electric, Omron and Weidmüller.
The pasteurizer is designed for multiple thermal treatment programs,
including 15 PU, 55 PU and high-temperature processing, making it
suitable for different beer products and beverage recipes requiring
controlled post-filling pasteurization.
