Pasteurisers

ROCKET is a compact ‘2-in-1’ solution from ProFruit that combines pasteurisation and juice bottling in a single machine. With a capacity of 150–200 litres per hour and a power rating of 20 kW, it is ideal for small and medium-sized production facilities. The built-in stainless steel coil ensures efficient energy savings of up to 15–20 per cent, whilst the automatic digital thermostat guarantees precise temperature control up to 90°C. Interchangeable filling heads (ordered separately) allow the machine to be easily reconfigured for filling bottles or Bag-in-Box containers, making the ROCKET a flexible solution for producers of juice, wine and other liquid products.

The ProFruit bath pasteuriser for bottles, heated by an external HEAT or ECOHEAT pasteuriser, is an effective solution for post-filling pasteurisation of juices, jams, marmalades and sauces in glass containers, jars or tins. Using a shared heat source with a continuous pasteuriser enables savings on equipment and energy costs. Automatic control of process temperature and time, as well as protection against water overflow, ensure a consistent and safe result. The mobile design on wheels simplifies installation on the production floor.

The ProFruit stand-alone, electrically heated pasteuriser is a ready-to-use solution for post-filling pasteurisation of juices, jams, marmalades and sauces in bottles, jars or tins, which does not require connection to a separate in-line pasteuriser. Built-in electric heating elements, automatic control of temperature and processing time, and protection against water overflow ensure consistent results without constant supervision. A capacity of approximately 97 x 0.75-litre bottles per cycle (4 baskets) is suitable for small and medium-sized production facilities. The mobile design on wheels simplifies placement on the production floor.

The 18-metre-long ProFruit ‘tube-in-tube’ heat exchanger has been specially designed to heat products with a high fibre and particle content without the risk of blockages — unlike plate heat exchangers. It is ideal for preheating whole berries, fruit or vegetable pulp prior to pressing, crushing or straining, thereby increasing juice yield. The design is easy to clean using CIP and a cleaning ball, and it can be installed either on wheels or fixed to a wall. An external water heater is selected separately to suit production requirements (diesel, gas or electricity).

The ProFruit ECOHEAT 300 electric pasteuriser is an environmentally friendly alternative to diesel and gas models, requiring no fuel supply. With a capacity of 300 litres per hour and heating up to 90°C, it ensures reliable pasteurisation of juice, purée, wine, stock, milk and other liquids. The built-in stainless steel coil saves up to 15–20 per cent energy compared with external heat exchangers. A touchscreen control panel with automatic temperature control, CIP cleaning capability and castors for mobility make this pasteuriser ideal for integration into filling lines, particularly Bag-in-Box systems.

The ProFruit HEAT 500 diesel pasteuriser is a powerful and reliable solution for the heat treatment of juice, purée, wine, stock and milk, with a capacity of 400–600 litres per hour. The German GIERSCH burner ensures stable and economical heating, whilst the built-in coil heat exchanger saves up to 15–20 per cent in energy — the approximate cost of pasteurising one litre is only around 2 euro cents. The thermally insulated chambers maintain the temperature for longer, reducing fuel consumption. A digital thermostat with automatic control and CIP cleaning capability make operation straightforward, whilst the castors ensure it can be easily positioned in any production area.

The ProFruit integrated solution combines the HEAT 500 diesel pasteuriser, the MINIFLOW semi-automatic filler and a buffer tank in a single mobile system — the ideal choice for compact and cost-effective production. With a capacity of 400–600 litres per hour, it ensures consistent pasteurisation of juice, purée, wine, stock or milk, whilst the MINIFLOW filling machine allows the product to be easily filled into Bag-in-Box packs (1–30 litres) or stand-up pouches (0.75–5 litres) — simply insert the pack and pull the lever. The energy-saving spiral design saves 15–20 per cent on fuel, whilst the mobility of the entire system makes it easy to move the equipment around the workshop.

The ProFruit chamber pasteuriser for bottles, jars and tins, featuring gas heating, is designed for post-filling heat treatment of finished products — juices, jams, marmalades and sauces — in glass and metal containers. Gas heating (propane or natural gas) ensures cost-effective operation where a gas supply is available. Automatic control of temperature and processing time guarantees consistent results without the need for constant operator supervision, whilst the basket design allows dozens of bottles to be processed in a single cycle. A reliable solution for manufacturers of canned products seeking to extend the shelf life of their finished goods.
