Products to be processed are fed to the system’s product balance tank. A Waukesha positive displacement booster pump transfers the product through the raw regenerator and pre-heater. The product then flows to the Falling Stream Heater (FSH™) infusion chamber, where it is rapidly heated to pre-processing temperature prior to the pre-treatment holding tube. From the holding tube, the product is flash cooled to about the same temperature at which it entered the infusion chamber. This removes all the water that was added in the steam infusion process, along with any undesirable flavor from the process’s heat treatment. After flash cooling, the product is heated to pasteurizing temperature, held for the required time and cooled to the desired packaging temperature. Product then flows to either an aseptic designed surge tank or the packaging equipment.
