Food Technology Lab Equipment

Product Details:

The Laboratory Pasteuriser accurately reproduces in miniature the industrial High Temperature Short Time process. Nominal throughput is only 10 litres/ hour. Although primarily designed for use with milk, other food liquids can be pasteurised providing that their solids content is not too high.Pasteurising temperatures and holding times are easily adjusted, allowing the effectiveness of the product treatment to be investigated. When correctly operated, cleaned and sterilised can produce a correctly treated and pasteurised product. However it is not intended that this apparatus be used to manufacture products for human consumption.The three stage plate heat exchanger of the achieves these parameters by(1) Heating the process liquid with hot water prior to its entry into the holding tube and then by(2) Cooling with cold water to storage temperature. An intermediate heat exchanger(3) Transfers heat from the treated product to the feed liquid. This provides dual benefits in reducing the energy required to reach the pasteurising temperature and in reducing the cooling required. An optional Chilled Water Circulator is available. Full instrumentation and controls are provided to regulate heating water temperature and also feed pump speed which in turn regulates holding time.

Specification:

• Includes a transparent feed tank, a feed pump, a three-stage heat exchanger, a holding tube, a divert system and a hot water circulator
• The feed pump is a peristaltic pump, with a variable-speed control
• The heat exchanger is fully representative of large-scale industrial units
• It uses stainless steel heat transfer plates
• It can be dismantled for examination and cleaning
• > It comprises three stages, a final heating stage, a regeneration stage and a cooling stage
• Holding time is 15s at 10 l/hr, in a stainless steel holding tube
• Process temperature is measured and controlled
• Hot water is circulated around the heating stage of the heat exchanger in a closed-loop system
• A PID controller is used to adjust the electric water heater, keeping the product process temperature at the requested value
• Optional data logger with USB interface is available

Product Details:

All vessels, pipes, valves and fittings in contact with process materials are constructed in stainless steel with the exception of the borosilicate glass solvent condenser. The support framework is also stainless steel. The cylindrical extractor/desolventiser with a hinged lid for charging the extraction material, has a base inclined slightly towards a port for discharging the extracted and desolventised meal. Material is supported above the base by a perforated plate covered with a fine woven mesh so solvent may drain through to the miscella tank whilst retaining the solids. The vessel base is equipped with an indirect steam chest for process heating. Direct steam is injected at a variable rate through a distribution pipe positioned above the mesh. A similar distribution pipe positioned near the top of the vessel allows solvent to be sprayed uniformly onto the bed of material. The miscella tank, positioned directly below the extractor to collect the draining liquid, is also a cylindrical vessel incorporating a steam chest as its base. This vessel also incorporates a direct steam distribution pipe through which steam can be metered at a variable rate. Vapour from the vessels, produced in the desolventising process,is directed by ducting to the solvent condenser, an inclined cylindrical glass tube containing a double coil through which cooling water is circulated. Condensate (usually a mixture of solvent and water) drains into the solvent water separator tank which allows thorough separation of the solvent and water by a gravity process.
