Juice pasteurizer simulator

Plate pasteurizer with heat recovery: heating, holding tube, cooling, steam, water, plate area and holding tube length.

What the calculator computes

Animated diagram of juice pasteurization on a plate heat exchanger: the product goes from the tank through the regenerator, the heating section, the holding tube and cooling to filling, and the particle colour shows the temperature at each point.

Set the product, flow, Brix, temperatures, holding time, heat recovery and steam pressure — you get the steam flow, heating power, savings from heat recovery, cooling water, section areas and plate count, holding tube length, holding equivalent at 93 °C and PU, a temperature chart along the path and warnings. You can build a juice line right away. The model is indicative.

Approximate simulation using a simplified model.

The calculations are approximate: they help to assess the process and compare options, but do not replace a process design and trials on a specific raw material. This section is for reference only and contains no commercial offers.
