FlashPasto - Short-term heating

FlashPasto is a short-time heating system for gentle pasteurization . The goal is to pasteurize the product without adversely affecting its color, taste, or digestibility. For optimal results, pasteurization time , temperature , and pressure are individually adjusted – depending on the product, packaging type, and expected shelf life.


Application

  • Beer
  • Beer-based mixed drinks

Flash pasteurization is a proven and cost-effective process in the brewing industry .


What is Flashpasto made for?

Short-term heating kills harmful microorganisms and thus increases:

  • microbiological stability
  • Lifespan / Durability

This is how the system works in the process

FlashPasto is designed for stable operation even with variable product flow – especially when installed directly in front of the filler .

Key points:

  • Consistent pasteurization quality through highly accurate process control
  • Two-stage heating to increase energy efficiency :

– Step 1: Preheating in the heat recovery section ( counterflow to the hot, already pasteurized product)

– Step 2: Gently reaching the pasteurization temperature via the heating medium (e.g. hot water, heated by steam)

  • Optional buffer tank (on request) to compensate for fluctuations in the amount of product taken in by the filler.
  • CIP cleaning is possible both together with the main line and separately.

Highlights

  • Consistent pasteurization quality through highly precise process control
  • Buffer tank available for installation in front of the filler upon request.
  • Customized modular design with standard PLC
  • Frame-mounted for easy installation and commissioning
  • Hygienic design and full CIP capability
