Products to be processed are blended in the batching system and transferred to the system’s product
balance tank. Centrifugal booster and stuffing pumps pump the product through the plate heat exchanger
raw regenerator and pre-heater, stuffing the system’s timing pump. The meter based timing system precisely
controls the flow through the steam injector where the product is heated to final process temperature prior to
the holding tube. From the holding tube the product is flash cooled to the same temperature at which it
entered the steam injector. This removes all the water which was added with the steam injection process
along with any undesirable flavor from the process’ heat treatment. After flash cooling, the product is
aseptically homogenized prior to further regenitive cooling and final cooling to the desired packaging
temperature. Product then flows to either an aseptic designed surge tank or to the packaging equipment.
