Used Dairy Pasteurizer TETRA PAK 20000 l/hr
The Used Dairy Pasteurizer Tetra Pak Tetra Therm Lacta CS-H15 system delivers an advanced, specialized solution for processing market milk, cheese milk, and yogurt milk, with an operational capacity of 20,000 liters per hour. This 1996 unit, consequently, offers a complete, skid-mounted structure with full automation to maintain a continuous, stable production process across critical stages of production, cleaning, and thermal stabilization.
Production and Cleaning Processes in the Used Diary Pasteurizer TETRA PAK
To begin, the pasteurization cycle of the Used Diary Pasteurizer TETRA PAK 20000 l/hr starts as the system circulates hot water at 95 °C for twenty minutes to prepare it for subsequent stages. Then, the system transitions to the filling and stabilization phases, achieving production temperature. During production, the product, therefore, flows through multiple heat regeneration sections via an Alfa Laval CLIP 8-RM plate heat exchanger (PHE), which is capable of managing temperatures up to 110 °C and pressures up to 10 bar.
Structure and Technical Components
The Used Diary Pasteurizer TETRA PAK includes, moreover, an open balance system with a float for level control, an Alfa Laval LKH-10/140 2.2 kW feed pump, and a heat exchanger with five sections for heat regeneration through product recycling. Heat is applied via a steam valve and expansion system to ensure consistent pasteurization, supported by a circulation pump and indirect control system for the final cooling stage. In addition, a pressure pump Alfa Laval LKH-10/163 4.0 kW maintains higher pressure on the pasteurized side than the non-pasteurized side, which, in turn, prevents cross-contamination.
Process Safety and Monitoring of the Used Diary Pasteurizer TETRA PAK
To ensure product safety, the Used Diary Pasteurizer TETRA PAK , accordingly, uses an automatic diversion valve that redirects the product to the balance tank if the pasteurization temperature falls below the required threshold. A 15-second holding tube, similarly, keeps the milk at pasteurization temperature for the necessary time before it enters the cooling phase. A stainless steel control panel with a temperature recorder, hence, continuously monitors temperature, maintaining control over the unit’s operating conditions.
Temperature Cycle and Heat Regeneration
This Used Diary Pasteurizer TETRA PAK standard temperature cycle, in essence, moves from 4 °C at the inlet to 55/60 °C for separation and homogenization, peaking at 95 °C for pasteurization. After a 15-second hold, the system gradually cools the product to an output temperature between 4 °C and 43 °C, achieving a heat regeneration efficiency of 90%.
