Pasteurization Systems
Microbial reduction before further processing or treatment for suitable non-aseptic filling applications.
System selection depends on the product, packaging and storage requirements.

Pasteurization
Pasteurization applies a specified combination of temperature and time to reduce target microorganisms, including pathogens. The treatment is selected for the product and its intended use.
Muninmax’s pasteurizer work includes microbial reduction before further processing and treatment for suitable non-aseptic filling applications. The treatment, filling method and storage conditions are assessed together.
Plate Pasteurizer
The plate pasteurizer combines cooling, regeneration and heating sections with a holding tube. A steam-heated hot-water circuit supplies heat. Temperature switches before and after the holding section are interlocked with an automatic flow-diversion valve.
Reference Configuration
| Item | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Heat exchanger | Free-standing plate heat exchanger with cooling, regeneration and heating sections |
| Holding tube | Horizontal, positioned above the module |
| Heating circuit | Steam-heated hot water with circulation pumps and steam regulation |
| Temperature and diversion | Temperature switches interlocked with automatic flow diversion |
| Product supply | Balance tank and FEC centrifugal feed pump |
| Flow measurement | Product flow meter and water flow meter |
| Product-contact plates and piping | AISI 316L stainless steel |
| General construction | AISI 304 stainless steel |
Flow rate, treatment temperatures and holding time are specified for the product and duty. Utilities include steam, chilled water, cooling water, process water, compressed air and electricity as required by the configuration.

Manufacturing and project scope
We design, fabricate and assemble UHT and pasteurizer systems in-house. Our fabrication work uses stainless steel sheet and tubing, and we also specify and source associated equipment and components.
Work carried out by Muninmax and work involving other manufacturers or partners are identified for each project.
Muninmax’s general scope covers production line design, machine manufacturing, installation, commissioning and after-sales service.
For UHT and pasteurizer projects, included work, optional items and exclusions are defined in the project proposal and agreement. The responsibilities of Muninmax, the customer and any partners are specified for each project.
Performance guarantees are agreed in writing for each project. They specify the guaranteed values, raw material and operating conditions, test methods and acceptance criteria.
Prepare the product and process information
Provide the product composition, presence and size of particles, required flow rate, packaging format and intended storage conditions. This information defines the treatment duty and equipment arrangement.
Share the processing steps before and after heat treatment, along with existing equipment and connections needed within the project scope.
You can begin without choosing a tubular type or preparing a complete specification.
