Overview
Steam goes straight into the product for instant heating
Instead of transferring heat through plates or tube walls, steam is injected directly into the product and heats it from a low temperature to sterilization temperature within 0.5 seconds. Heating is fast and the product spends very little time under heat.
Structure
Injection, holding, flash cooling
In the injector, product mixes directly with steam and heats instantly. It is sterilized in the holding tube, then enters a flash vessel that cools it and removes the water that condensed into it during injection. The exact process is confirmed for each product.
