Energy-efficient hot filling system for beverages

Optimize your beverage filling processes with a system that ensures precise heating, cooling, and pasteurization, substantially reducing energy costs while maintaining product quality.

The Innopro HF Pasteurization and Heating System from KHS Group offers a robust solution for efficiently heating, cooling, and pasteurizing various beverages and liquid foods. Utilizing tubular and plate heat exchangers, it adeptly manages low- and high-viscosity products, handling up to 45,000 liters per hour. Designed for continuous, high-speed operations, it serves beverage manufacturers, food producers, and the dairy industry, facilitating processes from juice deaeration to lactose-free milk treatment. The system features warm product deaeration with flavor recovery, significantly reducing residual oxygen content. With energy-efficient heat recovery technology, it integrates seamlessly into your energy management system, allowing energy savings of up to 50%. Automation is supported by a PLC control system, ensuring precision. The unit is constructed from corrosion-resistant materials, maintaining product quality and durability. With optional configurations and engineering support, this equipment meets diverse production needs while optimizing resource use.
