Automatic Pasteurizer Tank with PLC Control
Automatic Pasteurizer Tank with PLC Control
Description
An Automatic Pasteurizer Tank with PLC Control is a precision-engineered thermal processing unit used to heat-treat liquid food products like milk, juice, beverages, and even pharmaceutical or cosmetic liquids. It maintains a controlled temperature cycle to kill pathogens while retaining nutritional and sensory quality. With an integrated Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), the entire pasteurization cycle is automated for consistency, accuracy, and minimal human error.
Manufacturers in Gujarat, a major hub for dairy, food, and pharma equipment, provide robust, stainless steel pasteurizers designed for industrial reliability and hygienic compliance.
How It’s Made
-
Tank Fabrication
-
Constructed using SS-304 or SS-316L stainless steel, with internal mirror finishing and external matte finish. The tank is insulated with PUF or glass wool for thermal efficiency.
-
-
Heating Jacket Installation
-
Double-layered design with steam or electric heating jacket for indirect heating.
-
-
PLC Automation Integration
