Flash pasteuriser for juices
Ensure the highest quality of juices and beverages with a versatile system that offers precise pasteurisation, carbonation, and efficient heat recovery, seamlessly integrating into your existing production line.
The VarioFlash J flash pasteuriser from Krones is a versatile solution designed for the demanding needs of the food and beverage industry. It excels at ensuring microbiological safety by utilizing a hygienic plate heat exchanger system. This flash pasteuriser supports a wide range of applications, from orange juice and carbonated soft drinks to high-gravity lagers and sorghum beer, with an impressive throughput of 7,500 to 60,000 liters per hour. The integration of carbonation modules directly within the heating system is particularly notable, offering precise CO2 dosing and reducing the footprint compared to standalone solutions. Energy efficiency is enhanced thanks to a patented “Eco-hygienic Sleep Mode,” which minimizes energy and water consumption, alongside internal heat recovery of up to 95%. The design facilitates easy maintenance with features such as quick-change axial face seals and an intelligent buffer tank that balances production fluctuations. Made to integrate seamlessly into your production line, the VarioFlash J supports continuous, high-speed operations, making it ideal for juice producers and beverage manufacturers aiming for excellence in liquid product processing.
