The 3000 L/H Juice Beverage Tubular UHT Pasteurizer Machine is a specialized thermal processing solution engineered to deliver superior quality preservation for fruit juices, nectars, and beverage concentrates. Designed for the delicate balance of microbial inactivation and flavor retention, this machine utilizes a tubular heat exchange system to achieve high-temperature short-time (HTST) pasteurization, ensuring extended shelf life while maintaining the natural color, aroma, and nutritional value of fruit-based products. With a processing capacity of 3000 liters per hour, it integrates seamlessly into both standalone operations and full-scale production lines, offering precise control over temperature, flow, and holding time for consistent product quality. The modular design supports easy integration with upstream juice extraction systems and downstream aseptic filling units, making it an ideal choice for producers seeking efficiency without compromising product integrity.
1. Gentle Thermal Processing: Optimized for juice applications, the tubular heat exchanger (316L stainless steel construction) provides uniform heat transfer with minimal shear stress, protecting sensitive components like vitamins and antioxidants. Temperature ranges from 85°C to 135°C with adjustable holding times (10-30 seconds for pasteurization, 2-4 seconds for UHT).
2. Oxidation Prevention: Operates under nitrogen-purged conditions or low-oxygen environments to reduce enzymatic browning and flavor degradation, critical for maintaining the organoleptic properties of apple, orange, and berry juices.
3. Particle Compatibility: Handles juice with pulps or particulates up to 5mm in size via low-pressure drop tubing and optional inline sieving modules, ensuring smooth processing without clogging.
4. Energy-Efficient Regeneration: A counter-current regenerative heat exchanger recovers up to 85% of thermal energy, reducing steam consumption by 40% compared to conventional systems. Variable speed pumps adapt to product viscosity (0.2-20 cP) for optimal energy use.
5. Smart Control Interface: A PLC-based HMI allows operators to select pre-programmed recipes for different juice types (clear juices, cloudy nectars, concentrates) and monitor real-time parameters like total dissolved solids (TDS) and pH via optional sensors. Automatic data logging supports HACCP compliance.
6. Rapid Changeover Design: Quick-release gaskets and color-coded pipeline connections enable product changeovers in <15 minutes, minimizing downtime during flavor or packaging shifts.
Pure Fruit Juices: Processes 100% apple, orange, grape, and pineapple juices for both refrigerated and ambient distribution.
Nectars & Blends: Handles fruit nectars (30-50% juice content) and multi-fruit blends, ensuring consistent pasteurization across varying sugar and acid levels.
Concentrate Production: Suitable for pre-treating juice concentrates before evaporation, reducing microbial load to facilitate safe storage and transportation.
Functional Beverages: Ideal for cold-pressed juices, probiotic drinks, and vitamin-enriched beverages requiring gentle thermal treatment to preserve bioactive ingredients.
Q: Can this machine process citrus juices without causing bitterness?
A: Yes. The low-temperature holding phase (85-95°C) avoids over-processing, which can activate bittering enzymes in citrus. The system's precise temperature control ensures optimal flavor retention.
Q: What is the minimum juice viscosity the machine can handle?
A: It effectively processes juices with viscosity as low as 0.2 cP (water-like) up to 20 cP (thick nectars). For higher viscosities, a booster pump or larger-diameter tubing can be customized.
Q: Does the machine include a deaeration unit?
A: Deaeration is optional but recommended for oxygen-sensitive products. We offer integrated vacuum deaerators that reduce dissolved oxygen levels to <0.5 ppm before pasteurization.
Q: How is the system cleaned after processing pulpy juices?
A: The automatic CIP system uses a high-flow alkaline wash (80°C, 1.5% NaOH) followed by an acid rinse (60°C, 1% HNO₃) to remove pulp residues. A turbidity sensor confirms cleanliness before production resumes.
Q: Can it be used for hot-fill applications into PET bottles?
A: Yes. The system can be configured to deliver pasteurized juice at 85-90°C, compatible with hot-fill processes. A downstream cooling loop adjusts temperature to match bottle requirements.
