CONTINUOUS FOOD STERILIZATION

Tube-in-tube.
Food sterilization.

Sterilization equipment for pumpable purée, paste, concentrate and sauce. Match the tube geometry, heating duty and aseptic outlet to the food you actually process.

01 / Find your configuration

The product makes
the difference.

A smooth concentrate, a thick sauce and a purée with pieces do not create the same equipment duty. Start with the formulation, then choose the product passage, pump and thermal configuration.

02 / Know what you are buying

A connected
equipment package.

Follow the machine from controlled feed to the aseptic outlet. The core functions are specified together; tanks, fillers and upstream processing are separate supply decisions.

  1. 01
    Feed & pumping

    Match flow, pressure and handling to viscosity, fibres and pieces.

  2. 02
    Heating & holding

    Indirect heat transfer and a holding path selected for the established product process.

  3. 03
    Cooling & controls

    Agree outlet conditions, measurement, alarms and downstream signals.

04 / Make a confident selection

Three questions
before the quotation.

01

Does the product fit?

Review rheology, particles and fouling. Compare plate or scraped-surface equipment when the formulation points to another architecture.

Compare heat exchangers ↗
02

What is included?

Define the pump, thermal sections, controls, cleaning interface and tank or filler connection. Keep optional modules explicit.

Plan the connections ↗
03

What determines the price?

Product duty, operating flow, materials and supply scope matter more than a generic catalogue maximum.

Useful answers

Before you enquire.

What is a tube-in-tube sterilizer?

A continuous thermal-processing package using concentric product and utility passages for indirect heating and cooling, with a defined holding section and operating controls. Its configuration depends on the actual product duty.

What capacity and temperature can I specify?

Share nominal and minimum flow, product properties and the established thermal process. The catalogue lists adjustable equipment references of 72–150 °C and 15–120 seconds; they are not a universal product treatment or capacity guarantee.

What do you need for an initial quotation?

Start with the product, target throughput and packaging method. Viscosity, Brix, pH, particles, utilities and outlet conditions make the review more useful. You can mark unknown values and discuss them during the equipment review.

Does the equipment include an aseptic filler?

Not automatically. The tank, filler and connecting pipework must be identified in the quotation. The downstream sterile boundary and control interface still belong in the process discussion.

Is every tubular heat exchanger tube-in-tube?

No. Tube-in-tube describes concentric product and utility passages. Multitube and other tubular arrangements are different geometries. Compare the actual exchanger architecture in the specification.

Is UHT the same as pasteurization?

No. Your product, intended storage and packaging requirements determine the thermal duty. The process authority should establish the required schedule.

What information is needed for food with pieces?

Provide particle dimensions on three axes, concentration, hardness and fibre length, plus the liquid viscosity and texture target. Passage clearance alone does not establish thermal-process suitability.

What determines the quotation?

Product flow and thermal duty, materials, pumps, controls, cleaning and included interfaces determine the scope. See the equipment cost guide for the inputs that make quotes comparable.

Does a CIP connection guarantee validated cleaning?

No. The product, complete circuit, cleaning conditions and verification method must be considered together. Include the existing CIP station in the equipment brief.
