HTST (High-Temperature Short-Time) pasteurization is a commonly used method for treating liquid food products, such as milk, juice, and other beverages. The HTST pasteurizer is a machine used for this purpose.
The process involves heating the liquid to a specific temperature (usually between 72°C to 85°C) for a specific time (usually 15 to 30 seconds) to eliminate any harmful bacteria or microorganisms present in the liquid. After heating, the liquid is rapidly cooled to prevent any further growth of bacteria.
The HTST pasteurizer is designed to carry out this process in a continuous flow, where the liquid is pumped through a heat exchanger and heated using steam or hot water. The heat exchanger is made up of several stainless steel plates with narrow gaps between them, which allows for efficient heat transfer
