Solving Your Sterilizer Challenges

Discover solutions to common sterilizer challenges and implement efficient strategies with our guidance.

❌ Product Contamination Risks

Traditional pasteurization methods cannot eliminate pathogenic bacteria, leading to product recalls, regulatory violations, and brand damage.

✓ Our Solution: UHT sterilization at 137-140°C for 3-5 seconds ensures complete commercial sterility of 99.9999% of the microorganisms, including spores and heat-resistant bacteria.

❌ Limited Shelf Life

Refrigerated products have short shelf lives which lead to an increase in logistics costs, storage requirements and product waste.

✓ Our Solution: A shelf life of 6-12 months at room temperature, no cold chain requirement and a reduction of distribution cost of up to 40%.

❌ Nutritional Degradation

Long heat treatment times obliterate vitamins, proteins and organoleptic qualities thus reducing the product’s attractiveness.

✓ Our Solution: The instantaneous high-temperature treatment maintains up to 95% of the nutritional content and at the same time preserves the real taste, aroma and texture.

❌ High Energy Consumption

The old sterilization equipment consumes a lot of energy which increases the operational cost and carbon footprint.

✓ Our Solution: The new heat recovery system allows up to 80% energy savings through the product-to-product heat exchange method.

❌ Production Downtime

Cleaning of equipment, fouling problems and maintenance interruptions happen often and thus hamper production efficiency.

✓ Our Solution: A mirror-polished tube-in-tube design reduces fouling to a minimum, and the integrated CIP and SIP systems make it possible to run continuously for more than 10 hours.

❌ Regulatory Compliance Struggles

Compliance with the very strict FDA and international food safety regulations is a complex task that requires precise documentation and control.

✓ Our Solution: Completely automated PLC control with real-time monitoring, automatic data recording and compliance reporting that comes as a standard feature.

Expert Guides to Tubular Sterilizer

Depending upon the object to be sterilized and its size, autoclaving is done for 15-20 minutes to ensure the heat and moisture adequately penetrate all surfaces and interior areas of the items.

Being FDA-approved sterilization methods are the following: moist heating (steam), dry heat, EtO (ethyl oxide) gas method, vapor hydrogen peroxide, radiation (gamma radiation and electron beam), and other methods such as ozone and chlorine dioxide dependent on material and application.

The three main types of sterilizers are steam, dry heat, and ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilizers.

Prions, including the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease type, and bacterial toxins such as Cereulide may even resist an attempt at destruction through autoclaving.

In order to use sterilization tubing, place an instrument inside it, remove air by pressing it outward from the open end, and then seal it before sterilization.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between UHT and pasteurization?

Pasteurization typically heats the product at 72-85°C for 15-30 seconds, killing most pathogens but requiring refrigeration and giving a short shelf life (days to weeks). UHT sterilization, on the other hand, heats the product to 135-150°C for 2-5 seconds, resulting in complete commercial sterility and a shelf life of 6-12 months at room temperature. Due to higher temperatures and faster heating & cooling times, UHT sterilization provides better nutritional and flavor retention.

How long does installation and commissioning take?

Installation can take 2-3 weeks, depending on facility preparation and model complexity. Commissioning, including calibration, validation runs, and operator training, may take an additional 1-2 weeks. We provide detailed instructions about what your facility needs to prepare beforehand, so that downtime is kept to a minimum. Turnkey projects, including facility design, may take 3-6 months from contract to production.

What maintenance is required?

Daily maintenance is minimal – just CIP cleaning cycles (automated). Weekly checks include inspecting seals and gaskets and verifying sensor calibration. Monthly preventive maintenance includes pump inspection and valve servicing. Annual maintenance consists of system inspection, seal replacement, and recalibration. Service contracts are available to undertake the preventive maintenance with visits.

Does it work for pulp or particulateized products?

Yes, absolutely! Our tubular design is perfect for particulate products. It can handle solid particles measuring up to 5×5×5mm with a solid content of up to 30%. This would be fabulous for pulp fruit, purees, vegetable-based sauces, and beverages with fruit bits. The tube-in-tube design works against clogging and gently treats the product. When higher particulate loadings are expected, the tube diameter can be customized accordingly.

What is the return on investment horizon?

Generally speaking, ROI is achieved by customers in 18-24 months, given the multiple avenues for cost savings: (1) 35-45% energy saving as compared to conventional systems, (2) zero cold-chain costs (which account for 40% of distribution costs), (3) 60% less product waste, (4) 45% increased production capacity, and (5) lower labor costs due to automation. The higher the volume, the quicker the ROI, ROI-potentially as fast as 12 to 15 months.

Is the equipment FDA/CE compliant?

Yes, our equipment is fully compliant with FDA regulations concerning food contact surfaces (21 CFR Part 110) and is CE marked for the European market. All materials used are food-grade stainless steel 304/316L. The systems include HACCP-compliant features, including automatic documentation, temperature logging, and deviation alarms. We also provide comprehensive validation documentation and support throughout your regulatory submissions.

What utilities do you require?

Standard Requirements: (1) Steam: 0.6-0.8 MPa pressure, capacity varies upon model size, (2) Power supply: 380V/50Hz (can be adapted to local power supply of other regions), (3) Cooling water: ≤25°C, 2-3 times product capacity flow rate, (4) Compressed air: 0.6 MPa for pneumatic valves, (5) CIP chemicals: conventional food caustic and acid. We will provide detailed utility specifications during the quotation phase.

Can I run multiple products on the same equipment?

Yes, the system is multiproduct. It must run through an automated CIP cycle between product switches (30-45 minutes). Such equipment may be used to process dairy products, juices, plant-based beverages, and sauces. The PLC system can store recipes for many products to facilitate swift changeovers. For optimal efficiency, schedule product runs with similar characteristics (e.g., viscosity, pH).
