Description
The Chamber Pasteurizer PCH-960C is designed to accommodate food or beverages in their packages one EUR-type pallet (1200 x 800 mm) with maximal height of 1900 mm. Products for pasteurization must be placed in containers on pallets within crates or baskets, ensuring space for air circulation.
High capacity
Filled and closed bottles or cans are placed into the pasteuriser stored in the standard plastic sales crates (bottle carriers) which are in up to 6 layers on standard wooden pallet. This way you can pasteurize up to 960 bottles or cans (12 bottles/cans in each plastic crate, 8 plastic crates in each layer, six layers of crates on a standard pallet 1200 x 800 mm).
Pasteurisation time is normally about 35 minutes after which the pasteurization process shuts down automatically. With capacity of 960 bottles or cans, the PCH-960C range of cabinet pasteurisers are ideally suited for the small to medium size producer requiring an efficient in-bottle pasteurisation method and they don´t want to purchase a big and expensive tunnel pasteurizer.
The following can be pasteurized:
- Liquids in beverage bottles: beer, cider, wine, juice, mead etc.
- Liquids in beverage cans
- Fruits and vegetables in jarred preserves
- Canned goods
- Other beverages or food products
Up to 20 programmable pasteurization procedures …
The pasteurizer is equipped with a programmable control system that allows up to 20 programs to be set. Operators can adjust the pasteurization process parameters, including: Heating temperature, Pasteurization temperature, Number of pasteurization units.
You can really set the pasteurization cycle directly in pasteurization units !! This is really the best fuction of this pasteurizer that make it sufficiently suitable for all food and beverage producers without claim to deep experience in the field of pasteurization.
The pasteurizer can be used universally for various types of products and packaging. For instance, parameters can be adjusted for PET bottles to allow gentler heating, minimizing deformation. Different settings can be used for glass bottles. During one pasteurization cycle, only products with the same type of packaging should be placed in the chamber.
How the pasteurizer works :
-The operator places the food products (packed in their packages like bottles or cans) in the chamber and places a temperature sensor in one package of the goods (or the false bottle).
-The operator starts the process with the START button. Pasteurization takes place automatically according to the set program:
1. Heating phase : The chamber is heated with external steam or an integrated electric steam generator (depending on the optional equipment) to the required temperature and the products are quickly heated.
2. Holding phase : The temperature is maintained at the selected pasteurization temperature until the product has obtained the set number of PU.
3. Cooling phase : The chamber switches from air circulation to active ventilation and begins to cool the products. To speed up cooling, water spraying can be turned on (optional equipment).
4. End phase : After cooling to the required temperature, the machine turns off and calls the operator with an audible signal, or sends an SMS/calls the mobile phone (if equipped with a GSM module).
The operator replaces the food goods in the chamber and the process is repeated.
Main advantages and key features
| Compactness | The machine is oriented vertically to take up as little floor space as possible. This makes it different from chamber pasteurizers from other manufacturers, which take up to 2x more floor space with the same capacity. Its compactness stands out especially when compared to huge tunnel pasteurizers. |
| Space saving | The machine can be placed against the wall or in a niche with a minimum width of 1400 mm. Service access is only from the front and top. |
| Capacity | The pasteurizer is capable of holding up to 960 bottles or cans stored in standard plastic crates. When using an external steam generator with a capacity of 120 kW, a capacity of up to 1600 bottles/cans per hour can be achieved. The capacity can be further increased by using lower crates, as long as there is sufficient space between the individual packages for free access of steam. |
| Intelligent Automatic process controlled by PLC. | Setting of the process directly in number of the pasteurization units (PU). The system counts real number of the PU, automatically calculates the holding time according to the PU requirement, displays and archives the PU in the memory. |
| Setting via touchscreen | |
| Graphical recording of the pasteurization process. | |
| Machine sends an SMS/calls a mobile phone after the process is completed. (if equipped with a GSM module for an additional fee) | |
| Universal | 20 programs can be saved. For example, different pasteurization parameters for beer in a glass, for non-alcoholic beer, for KEG barrels, etc. |
| Collapsible machine | After disassembling the individual parts, it is possible to pass the pasteurizer through a standard door. No need to cut holes in the wall for the installation. |
| Emission-free | It can be operated only on electricity without an external steam source. |
| Easy to install | No specialist of the producer is necessary for the installation. A customer receive the machine with detailed installation instruction manual and it is easy to assembly the machine on the place in one day. Only the electric connection must be ensured by a certified person (electrician). |
| Easy to operate | Only one button for operation. For change of current program an admin access with password is necessary. |
| Reliable | The most of electrical components are Siemens. |
| Easy loading and unloading | The pasteurizer is equipped with flat bottom and optionaly with the integrated folding inclined plate for easy access with a conventional pallet truck. No forklift is required for the loading and unloading the pallets. |
| Active cooling | Acceleration of the process, higher production output, reduced risk of over-pasteurization. |
| Design | The casing is made of stainless steel with brushed surface, the design is washable (water does not leak into the insulation), minimum visible screws. |
| Safety | Complies with current safety standards and the tank according to the “Analysis of occupational safety and potential risks” (can be opened from the inside, spring ventilation, use of the Siemens Sirius safety system, …) According to valid EU standards. Archives process records according to HACCP (obligation according to the Czech National Code) |
| European origin | The machine is fully designed and produced in Czech Republic (the EU country). The most of mechanical parts are produced of stainless steel, the most of electric parts are made in EU. |
Technical specifications
| Pasteurizer type | PCH-960C Compact – 3 versions : PCH-960C-IH (only internal heating) / PCH-960C-EH (only external heating) / PCH-960C-CH (combination of the internal and external heating) |
| The principle of pasteurization | Blowing hot steam into the interior of the pasteurizer, where bottles or cans of beverages are stored on a pallet in plastic or metal transport baskets. The temperature is measured by a thermoprobe, which is placed inside the fake bottle between the other bottles with drinks/food. Steam is generated by an external steam generator (which is not included in price of the pasteurizer) or by the internal steam generator (according to version of the pasteurizer) , inside the pasteurizer the steam circulates using a fan. This achieves almost the same temperature in the entire space of the pasteurizer.
Pasteurization is a thermal process used to destroy microorganisms, thereby extending the shelf life of food products. |
| Capacity | Up to 960 pcs of the 0.50L or 0.33L cans/bottles in one batch (placed in plastic crates in 1-6 layers on a pallet (1200 x 800 mm)
