Technical Specifications & Performance Data This TMCI Padovan Tunnel
Pasteurizer is a robust second hand machine designed for continuous
thermal treatment in beverage production and industrial packaging
environments. Built in 1996 and CE certified, it offers reliable
tunnel pasteurization with multi-zone temperature management. It is
suitable for integration in a used bottling line, ensuring consistent
pasteurization units across containers moving on a conveyor through
sequential heating, holding, and cooling zones. Manufacturer: TMCI

controllers, GEFRAN module, operator HMI with recipe management Zones
indicated on panel: Second heating, Pasteurization, First cooling
Displayed setpoints/values observed: examples include 35.0 °C,
26.0 °C, 23.0 °C; live PV readings visible on the panel
Operation mode: Continuous tunnel with conveyorized product flow
Advanced Automation & Control Systems The machine features dedicated
temperature controllers for each zone to maintain stable conditions,
with clear PV/SV displays and alarm management. The interface provides
accessible parameters and recipe handling for fast adjustments between
products and pasteurization targets. Multiple ERO ELECTRONIC TKS PID
controllers with OUT1/OUT2 indicators and alarm thresholds (min/max
temperature) Integrated HMI with Italian-language menus for management
and recipes Interlocks and safeguarded operation, labeled interlock
functions on the panel Emergency stop and illuminated status
indicators for real-time state feedback Designed for straightforward
setpoint editing and zoned control to stabilize pasteurization units
Production Line Integration Capabilities This tunnel pasteurizer is
engineered for inline use with upstream fillers and cappers and
downstream dryers, labelers, and packers within beverage production
and broader industrial packaging processes. It accommodates standard
conveyor interfaces and supports format flexibility through adjustable
guides and dwell-time control via line speed. Inline or standalone
operation with conveyor connection points Adaptable to multiple
container formats and line speeds Suitable for integration in used
bottling lines handling a range of beverage SKUs Recipe-based settings
to streamline changeovers and maintain thermal profiles Machine
Condition & Maintenance History The control panel shows active
instrumentation with readable process values and setpoints, indicating
functional electronics. As a well-maintained second hand unit, it is
presented in working condition and ready for operation subject to
standard commissioning and line integration procedures. Routine
cleaning and sanitary maintenance are supported by the tunnel’s
industrial design. Operational control electronics with visible PV/SV
on controllers CE compliance maintained Standard preventive
maintenance recommended for pumps, sprays, conveyors, and heat
exchange circuits Operational Performance & Versatility The tunnel
architecture provides controlled heating, a stable pasteurization
hold, and progressive cooling, enabling consistent product quality
across beverage categories. The U6354234 multi-zone layout supports
fine-tuning to achieve target pasteurization units while minimizing
thermal stress. Multi-zone control for precise thermal profiling
Alarmed min/max temperature thresholds for quality assurance
Recipe-driven repeatability across production runs Designed to support
beverage production applications on continuous lines Installation
Requirements & Site Preparation Installation requires appropriate
utilities and floor space for the tunnel body, service aisles, and
conveyor interfaces. The system typically connects to hot water or
steam-heated circuits and chilled water for cooling sections, along
with process water make-up and drainage. Electrical supply for
control, pumps, and drives Hot water/steam loop for heating zones and
chilled water for cooling sections Process water supply and drains
with filtration as required Conveyor alignment and guarding
integration at infeed/outfeed Safety Standards & Compliance
Certification Built to industrial safety standards with CE marking,
the machine includes emergency stop hardware, interlocks, and alarmed
temperature supervision. The control layout offers clear operator
feedback and safeguarded adjustments to support safe, hygienic
operation on beverage packaging lines. CE-compliant construction
Emergency stop and status indicators Interlocked functions for
protected operation Alarm thresholds for temperature deviations
