Overview Tunnel pasteurizer for the continuous thermal treatment of
filled cans and bottles by water spray. The tunnel is built in a
U-shape: infeed and outfeed sit on the same end of the machine, so the
line returns to the operator side and the footprint stays compact at
6.2 m² of working area. The treatment length is divided into eight
zones – three heating zones, one pre-pasteurization zone, one
pasteurization zone and three cooling zones – with energy recovery
between the zones, so heat taken out of the cooling side is fed back
into the heating side. Heating is by steam through a plate heat
exchanger mounted on the side of the tunnel. Product enters at +10
°C, is held at +70 °C for 10 minutes in the pasteurization zone and
leaves at +37 °C; the full cycle takes 41 minutes. Tunnel body and
electrical cabinet are built entirely in AISI 304 stainless steel.
Control is by Siemens S7-1200 with a 12 Siemens HMI touch screen
showing the full process mimic with zone temperatures. Year of
