backpasteurisation

Flash pasteurisation

Flash pasteurisation involves heating the product to a relatively high temperature in a heat exchanger in a continuous flow. Where a long shelf life is required and the filling conditions are not aseptic the product is delivered hot directly to a filling machine for filling while still hot. In this way the hot product sterilises the container and closure. Products pasteurised in this way have the same extended shelf life as those pasteurised in bottle (for apple juice in glass bottles this life is at least two years).

Both hand-operated and automatic filling machines can be used with flash pasteurisers. A small flash pasteuriser can dramatically increase the rate of juice production and reduce labour costs.

Vigo flash pasteurisers have very accurate temperature controls and divert functions that ensure a consistently good quality of end product. They have been designed for simplicity of operation and reliability.
