What role does the steam generator play in the pasteurization process?


Pasteurization is a low-temperature sterilization technology, mainly used for sterilization of liquid foods such as milk, juice, beer, etc. It can effectively kill harmful microorganisms, extend the shelf life of food, and retain the nutrients and flavor of food to the maximum extent. In this process, steam generators play an indispensable role.The steam generator is the core heat source equipment in the pasteurization process. It can quickly generate steam in 28 seconds, reach the rated pressure in a few minutes, and the maximum temperature can reach 230°C, providing the required heat for pasteurization. The intelligent control system realizes the full automation control of water supply, gas supply, and power supply, accurately controls the generation and delivery of steam, and stably controls the temperature in the sterilization equipment within the temperature range required for pasteurization, ensuring the uniformity and effectiveness of the sterilization process. For example, in the pasteurization of milk, steam is generally used at a temperature of 135-150°C for 4-15 seconds of instant sterilization. The stable temperature can accurately inactivate pathogens while avoiding the destruction of nutrients in milk due to excessive temperature.In addition, the steam generated by the steam generator can also be used to preheat and clean and disinfect sterilization equipment, pipelines, etc. Before formal sterilization, using steam to preheat the equipment can reduce the temperature difference between the equipment and the material, and avoid quality changes of the material due to sudden heating; after sterilization, the high-temperature steam can effectively remove the residual materials and microorganisms in the equipment, ensuring the cleanliness of the equipment and preparing for the next production.At the same time, the steam generator is highly efficient and energy-saving, with a comprehensive energy-saving rate of 10%-40%. It can quickly respond to heat demand, reduce energy waste, reduce pasteurization operating costs, and improve production efficiency. While ensuring food quality and safety, it creates good economic benefits for the enterprise.
