Pasteurization with Tube-in-Tube Heat Exchangers

Tube-in-tube heat exchangers deliver uniform, low-shear pasteurization through true counterflow, ensuring consistent hold temperatures and minimal thermal damage. The design handles viscous products with particulates or fibers effectively while meeting regulatory pathogen reduction requirements.

Typical Pasteurization Applications

  • Dairy: HTST pasteurization of milk, cream, yogurt mixes, cheese milk, and flavored dairy with particulates.
  • Beverages: Pasteurization of juices, nectars, fruit purees, smoothies, and pulpy drinks.
  • Sauces & Condiments: Thermal treatment of tomato sauces, salsas, dressings, soups, and viscous preparations.
  • Fruit & Vegetable: Pasteurization of fruit preparations, pie fillings, vegetable purees, and baby food bases.
  • Egg Products: Gentle pasteurization of liquid whole egg, egg whites, and yolk blends.
  • Other: Non-dairy milks, plant-based beverages, liquid egg substitutes, and high-viscosity nutritional products.

Advantages for Pasteurization Processes

Tube-in-tube heat exchangers provide gentle, uniform pasteurization with true counterflow for precise hold temperatures and maximum pathogen kill without over-processing.

Low shear preserves product texture, particulates, and flavor in viscous or chunky products. High heat transfer rates support compact designs and efficient energy use.

Sanitary construction with polished surfaces, full drainability, and no dead zones ensures hygiene and regulatory compliance. Optional corrugated tubes enhance turbulence for difficult products.

Compact, modular, and scalable, they enable easy CIP, low fouling, reliable hold-tube performance, and reduced thermal damage — ideal for high-quality pasteurization in dairy, beverage, sauce, and specialty food production.
