Flexitherm Core
Alfa Laval Flexitherm Core is a range of standardized pasteurization modules for pasteurization of beer and other beverages. Flexitherm pasteurization technology is widely considered the solution of choice to assure long shelf life for hygienically packed perishable beverages (carbonated or not). All modules are pre-engineered with mainstream process design configurations and automation setups that are an ideal match for pre-defined sets of operating conditions.
Stable product treatment even during variable flow
- Consistent pasteurization thanks to reliable control of pasteurization units (variations within +/- 10% of target assuming constant operating conditio
- Sustainable operation with very low energy consumption (effective energy recovery up to 94%)
- Standardized plug-in design ensures quick, on-time delivery (ready to ship 12 weeks after finalized order)
- Minimum of on-site installation and commissioning (as little as 2 weeks) with pre-assembly and factory testing of the frame-mounted module
- Exceptional production efficiency and minimal product losses with state-of-the-art automated control system that precludes operator intervention
Flexitherm Core pasteurization modules use a high-efficiency plate heat exchanger to thermally destroy the unwanted microorganisms in the product to increase its microbiological stability (also referred to as shelf life). The desired treatment, expressed in pasteurization units (PU), is a result of a combination of high temperature and holding time.
