Flexitherm

Flexitherm™ is an automatic pasteurization machine for beer pasteurization. Flexitherm™ uses a pasteurization method that eliminates microbiological spoilage, achieves the right pasteurization temperature and preserves the quality and shelf life of beer and other carbonated drinks over a variable flow range. This pasteurization method is tailored to provide optimal, efficient thermal treatment of beer to be sent to aseptic filling systems.

Flexitherm - Plate heat exchanger for beer pasteurization

Reduce microbiological spoilage and preserve beer quality

  • Reliable pasteurization units (PU) control system for stable product treatment (PU variations within +/- 10% of target level during constant operation
  • Minimum site work as the module is self-contained and pre-assembled with automatic control
  • Designed for CIP, the sanitary and compact module requires low maintenance, minimizing downtime
  • Effective energy recovery up to 95%
  • State-of-the-art automated control system featuring process continuously refined control refinements
Using the Flexitherm™ module for pasteurization of beer ensures a low hold-up volume in the PHE for minimum beer loss. Low water and energy consumption save further on beer, while the glue free clip-on gaskets save on time and resources. The well-structured PLC software is easily integrated into an automated control system.

This beer pasteurization equipment is ideal for high capacity brewer processing. It cuts operation costs by recovering up to 95% of heat*.

Specification

Approximate dimensions and weight depending on capacity range:

For capacity = 40hl/h,
Dimensions (LxWxH): 3.2m x 2.0m x 2.2m

For capacity = 400hl/h,
Dimensions (LxWxH): 4.0m x 3.6m x 2.6m

*Compared to a traditional tunnel pasteurizer, it improves overall water consumption by up to 0.42hl/hl, and improves the energy usage ratio by 5MJ/hl.

Płytowy wymiennik ciepła Alfa Laval do pasteryzacji piwa

FLEXITHERM jest płytowym wymiennikiem ciepła (PHE): System do pasteryzacji piwa, który eliminuje lub zmniejsza liczbę żywych mikroorganizmów w produkcie. Zmniejsza mikrobiologiczne skażenie i poprawia stabilność mikrobiologiczną oraz zwiększa trwałość produktu.

Osiągnięcie właściwej temperatury pasteryzacji dzięki Flexitherm™

Flexitherm™ osiąga wymaganą temperaturę pasteryzacji poprzez połączenie ciepła i czasu przetrzymania. Zimne, niepasteryzowane piwo jest podgrzewane w PHE do pożądanej temperatury pasteryzacji w dwóch etapach. Automatyczne dostosowanie przepływu FLEXITHERM do zmian w zapotrzebowaniu maszyny rozlewniczej. Unikanie recyrkulacji produktu i ryzyka nadmiernej pasteryzacji.
