A pasteuriser is a food safety device first: what matters is proof that every litre reached the set temperature for the set time, and that milk which did not was sent back.

01
Batch vat for small dairies, plates for milk, tubular for thick products such as some ice cream mixes.
Tube length sets holding time at your flow. A divert valve must send under-heated milk back automatically.
Regeneration, heating, holding, cooling. More recovery cuts steam use.
Records you can export and an alarm on low temperature.
Steam needs a boiler; ask whether it is in the price.
02
Send these with the enquiry. Without them, any number a factory gives you is a guess dressed as a quotation.

| Require this | A pass looks like |
|---|---|
| Run milk at rated flow with a calibrated reference thermometer at the holding tube outlet. | Product at or above setpoint through the whole hold, recorder within stated accuracy. |
| Drop the heating on purpose. | The divert valve sends product back before under-heated milk goes forward, and logs it. |
| Read pressures on both sides of the plates. | Pasteurised side stays higher than the raw side throughout. |

Every machine we source in this area is on the Food & candy page. How a project runs, stage by stage, is on how it works, and what it costs is on pricing.
