How it Works
The Small Scale Plate Pasteurizer operates on a sophisticated regenerative heating and cooling cycle:
- Pre-heating: The raw liquid enters the plate pasteurizer and is pre-heated by the outgoing hot pasteurized product, significantly reducing energy consumption.
- Heating & Holding: The product is rapidly heated to the target HTST pasteurization temperature and held for a precise duration to eliminate pathogens.
- Cooling: The pasteurized liquid is then moved through the cooling section, where it is chilled to the required packaging temperature.
Applications
Our Small Scale Plate Pasteurizer is ideal for a wide range of liquid food and beverage applications:
- Dairy Products: Small-batch fresh milk, yogurt base, and cream pasteurization.
- Fruit & Vegetable Juices: Gentle thermal treatment for organic juices to maximize nutrient retention.
- Craft Beverages: Ideal for tea, coffee-based drinks, and functional beverages.
- Laboratory Use: Perfect for R&D departments to test new recipes before large-scale production.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between this Plate Pasteurizer and a UHT system?
A: This is an HTST system that typically operates between 72°C and 95°C. It is designed for products requiring a cold chain. For shelf-stable products requiring UHT (Ultra-High Temperature) treatment (135°C+), a tubular system is generally required.
Q: Can I customize the flow rate of this Small Scale Pasteurizer?
A: Yes. While we specialize in small scale units (100-500 LPH), we can customize the plate heat exchanger sections to meet your specific production requirements.
Q: Does the unit include a cleaning system?
A: Absolutely. Our pasteurization units are designed for full CIP (Clean-in-Place) integration to ensure the highest sanitary standards.
