Pasteurizing Tank with Temperature Control System
Pasteurizing Tank with Temperature Control System
Description:
A Pasteurizing Tank with Temperature Control System is a precision-engineered stainless steel vessel designed for the thermal treatment of liquid products such as milk, juices, cream, beverages, and fermented products. It works by heating liquids to a pre-set temperature to destroy pathogens and extend shelf life — all while preserving taste and nutritional value.
The integrated temperature control system (manual or PLC-based) ensures uniform heating and cooling, making the tank highly reliable for food safety and regulatory compliance in the dairy, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.
How It’s Made:
-
Tank Body Construction:
-
Made from SS 304 or SS 316L food-grade stainless steel, with mirror finish inner surface for hygiene.
-
Designed as cylindrical or elliptical bottom tanks, mounted on legs or skids.
-
-
Jacketed Heating System:
-
Equipped with a double jacket for circulation of hot water or steam, allowing indirect heating of the product.
-
-
Agitator & Mixing System:
-
Fitted with slow-speed agitators or mechanical stirrers to ensure even temperature distribution and prevent burning.
-
-
Temperature Control Unit:
-
Comes with digital or PLC-controlled temperature controllers, sensors (RTDs), and alarm systems for precise regulation.
-
-
Cooling System (Optional):
-
Tanks may also include cooling jackets or coils to bring down temperature rapidly after pasteurization.
-
-
Insulation:
-
Outer cladding with PUF insulation helps maintain internal temperature and reduce energy loss.
-
-
Sanitation & CIP (Clean-in-Place):
Where It’s Used:
-
Dairy Processing Plants – milk, cream, cheese base
-
Juice & Beverage Units – fruit juice, herbal drinks
-
Honey & Syrup Processing
-
Yogurt & Flavored Milk Manufacturing
Fermentation & Brewing Applications
Key Features:
-
Temperature Range: Up to 95°C adjustable
-
Holding Time: Programmable (e.g., 15 seconds to 30 minutes)
-
Tank Capacities: 100 L to 10,000 L (customizable)
-
Agitator Type: Top-mounted or side entry (optional VFD)
-
Control Panel: Digital PID or PLC-based system
-
Inlet/Outlet Valves: TC clamps, sanitary valves
-
CIP Cleaning Provision
Importance:
Pasteurization is critical for food safety. Without it, milk, juices, and beverages risk contamination by E. coli, Listeria, Salmonella, etc. A pasteurizing tank with automated temperature control provides a standardized, repeatable, and safe process, essential for FSSAI, ISO, and FDA compliance.
Advantages:
-
Hygienic Design – Ideal for Food & Pharma Use
-
Accurate Temperature Control with Alarms
-
Improved Shelf Life of Products
-
No Direct Flame Contact – Avoids Scorching
Energy Efficient with Insulated Outer Layer
-
Custom Sizes and Automation Available
Significance in the Industry:
This equipment is a backbone of safe, scalable food production, especially in industries governed by strict hygiene, temperature control, and process validation. For milk, beverages, and nutraceuticals, it ensures safe consumption, extended shelf life, and market acceptability.

Q1. Can the pasteurizer be used for both heating and cooling?
A: Yes, with a dual jacket and temperature controller, it can pasteurize and cool the product in one vessel.Q2. Is it suitable for raw milk from dairy farms?
A: Absolutely. It is commonly used for initial milk processing and cream separation.Q3. What is the standard pasteurization time and temperature?
A: Common setting: 72°C for 15 seconds or 63°C for 30 minutes, adjustable as per product.Q4. Does it require a boiler?
A: If the heating is steam-based, yes. Alternatively, electrical heaters or thermic fluid systems can be integrated.Q5. Is it easy to clean?
A: Yes. Most tanks are equipped with CIP spray balls and smooth welds for fast, hygienic cleaning.Conclusion:
A Pasteurizing Tank with Temperature Control System is a vital processing unit for any dairy, juice, or beverage plant that demands product safety, regulatory compliance, and production consistency. With customizable sizes, automation, and energy-efficient designs, these tanks from Gujarat’s manufacturers offer a high return on investment and peace of mind.
