KHS Innopas SX tunnel pasteuriser

The KHS Innopas SX modular tunnel pasteuriser for cans, glass and PET bottles provides microbiological safety and flexibility.

The dynamic pasteurisation unit or PU control system reacts variably to changes in conditions, and extended functions in the dynamic PU control system result in greater flexibility and yield savings in energy and media. Much of this is attributable to the optional speed regulation function. The individual zone temperatures are automatically raised or lowered depending on the conveyor speed.

With dynamic PU control the process temperatures are regulated within the hot zones of the tunnel pasteuriser to enable product safety and flavour stability. With a program for PU control the user can independently adapt the pasteurisation unit setpoint for a specific container type and the full functionality of the PU control unit is maintained.

The tunnel pasteuriser is clearly structured and offers optimum access which simplifies the maintenance and cleaning of the system. Parts of the process engineering, such as the heat exchangers and media supply, have been relocated on the machine as modules to improve servicing and machine safety.

Spare part management has also been optimised. The number of components the user is required to keep in stock has been reduced and functions can be simply retrofitted as an option.
