Used Flow Pasteurizer with separator 2000 L/h

Structure and Operating Principle

The Used Flow Pasteurizer with separator 2000 L/h operates as a continuous flow pasteurizer with a plate heat exchanger, designed specifically for the thermal processing of milk and cream. The system uses a plate heat exchanger to ensure efficient heat transfer, enabling rapid product heating and cooling. As a result, it maintains product quality while maximizing energy efficiency. Moreover, the continuous operation delivers a consistent throughput of 2,000 liters per hour. Therefore, this model suits medium-scale facilities that demand precise thermal treatment and high microbiological safety standards.

Construction Features and Manufacturer

Jedinstvo, a Croatian manufacturer, built the Used Flow Pasteurizer with separator 2000 L/h in 1998 under model number 43.107072. At present, the machine remains dismantled and securely stored. It measures 2800 mm in length, 1500 mm in width, and 2500 mm in height. Notably, the stainless-steel frame provides high durability, while hygienic finishes ensure full compliance with food-grade processing regulations. In particular, the design facilitates cleaning and minimizes the risk of contamination. Thus, it supports continuous operation in demanding dairy environments.

Thermal Processing Parameters

The Used Flow Pasteurizer with separator 2000 L/h handles specific temperature ranges based on the product type. For example, milk requires a pasteurization temperature of 78°C to 80°C. In contrast, cream undergoes processing at up to 95°C. Subsequently, the system cools the product using technical water, bringing the output temperature down to 6°C or 7°C. Consequently, it preserves both product freshness and nutritional value. From a process perspective, these thermal profiles support regulatory compliance and shelf-life extension.

Processing Stages and Product Flow

The Used Flow Pasteurizer with separator 2000 L/h includes four operational sections. Specifically, the layout features a retention zone mounted above the system frame. The product travels through stainless-steel retention tubes for approximately 30 seconds. Afterward, it returns to the second section to complete the pasteurization cycle. Furthermore, the line integrates an outlet to a separator—already included in the setup—and a dedicated outlet to a homogenizer for milk. In addition, the modular layout allows seamless integration into existing lines. Consequently, operators benefit from greater flexibility and reduced setup times.

Safety and Application Areas

The Used Flow Pasteurizer with separator 2000 L/h features built-in safety mechanisms that monitor both pressure and temperature. As such, the system ensures secure and stable operation during intensive processing cycles. Operators previously used it for cream separation and pasteurization of both milk and cream. Nevertheless, the system also adapts to other food-grade liquids with similar processing needs. In summary, its robust technical features, compact footprint, and flexible output options make it a reliable solution. Therefore, this unit represents an efficient choice for dairy and liquid food industries.
