Industrial Pasteurization Tank
An Industrial Pasteurization Tank is a specialized stainless-steel vessel used to heat and cool liquid food products such as milk, juice, yogurt, and other dairy or beverage items to specific temperatures for pathogen destruction while retaining quality and flavor. This thermal processing method — pasteurization — extends shelf life, enhances food safety, and meets food regulatory requirements.
In India, these tanks are supplied by equipment manufacturers specializing in dairy, beverage, and food processing machinery, catering to both small-scale dairies and large-scale industrial processing plants.
Built according to capacity (typically 100L to 10,000L), pasteurization type (batch or continuous), and process temperature (63°C–95°C).
Designed based on CIP (Clean-in-Place) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards.
Fabricated using SS304 or SS316L stainless steel, suitable for food-grade applications.
Inner and outer shells are mirror-polished to avoid bacterial growth.
Consists of:
Inner vessel
Jacketed layer for hot water or steam circulation
Insulation layer to retain heat
Agitator/mixer (optional)
Thermowells and sensors for accurate temperature monitoring
Indirect heating using:
Hot water circulation via jacket
Electric or steam heating
Controlled with digital temperature controllers or PLC systems.
Chilled water is circulated post-pasteurization to cool product quickly.
Manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic PLC-based control panel provided.
Includes alarms, timers, and temperature recorders.
