Pasteurization Technology from KHS –
Safety and Efficiency Right Down the Line!
Do you want excellent pasteurizing results coupled with
optimized process flows, absolute taste stability, and at the
same time noticeably cut water and energy consumption
costs?
Then rely on KHS Innopas pasteurizing technology. It is
based on decades of experience, extensive know-how, and
continuous further development of proven technologies.
4
The specialists have repeatedly set milestones in the field
of pasteurization. Milestones including exact zone spraying
to ensure improved process quality and the Eco-Bus system
that reduces fresh water and energy consumption considerably by recuperating the water at various temperature levels.
The KHS PU control that ensures 100-percent
product safety and unaltered product taste
even during disruptions and enables the
double-deck version to process different
products and container types simultaneously.
All these features increase not only the
efficiency of your line but also the flexibility of
product changeover and thus overall product
design.
KHS’ most recent development is the completely new
modular concept of the
Innopas C incorporating
advantages such as a
smaller footprint, faster
shipping, less time required
for assembly, and an
innovative automatic waste
discharge system that offers
even more hygienic safety.

Pasteurizing with the New Innopas C –
The Safest and Most Effective Method of Preserving
If you guarantee your customers consistently high
product quality coupled with maximum biological safety,
Cooling
Heating
you should rely on the new generation of pasteurizers
from KHS. Thermal treatment of sealed containers reliably
kills microorganisms and eliminates recontamination.
During pasteurization, the product is subjected to a
defined amount of heat that is controlled by a
temperature-time curve as the products pass through the
pasteurizer.
Knowing the temperature distribution inside containers during
heating and cooling is a basic prerequisite for successful
pasteurization.
The Innopas C is available with capacities ranging from
5,000 to 180,000 containers per hour depending on the
container size and the type of product.
6
Using the PU simulator, we are able to simulate the
temperature-time behavior for each product as early as the
project planning stage.
For you this means assured results by simulating
A tightly meshed temperature distribution grid inside the machine enables exact
calculation of the thermal effects to each individual container.
In addition to pasteurizing, the Innopas C can also be
implemented for recooling after hot filling or for heating
cold-filled beverages and other products.
This is made possible by the flexible basic concept.

Regulated Temperatures and PUs under Control
The current product temperature in each case is determined
by the exact position of the container and the temperature
of the spray applied at this position.
The process is monitored in each zone by two parallel,
separately queried temperature sensors and the measurement results are continuously compared.
Sensors mounted on gates and valves ensure flawless
pasteurizer operation.
