Overview This Krones VarioFlash B is a flash pasteurization system for
beer and beer mix beverages, built in 2019 by Krones AG at its
Steinecker plant in Freising, Germany. It pasteurizes 20 - 45 hl/h in
a three-stage plate heat exchanger with energy recovery, a heat
retention tube and a cooling stage. Everything is mounted on a
stainless steel skid with a horizontal 2,100 l buffer tank, and a
freestanding stainless steel control cabinet with touchscreen HMI
completes the system. Technical data Manufacturer: Krones AG (Werk
