Product introduction of Milk Pasteurization Machine
Plate type milk pasteurization machine is an advanced thermal processing equipment widely used in dairy, beverage, and food industries. It adopts a compact plate heat exchanger structure, allowing continuous countercurrent heat transfer between product and heating medium.
The system performs preheating, sterilization, and cooling in a continuous flow process, ensuring efficient microbial elimination while preserving product quality. With high heat recovery efficiency and low energy consumption, it is an ideal solution for modern industrial food processing plants.


Working principle
Step 1: Preheating stage
Raw milk enters the plate heat exchanger and is preheated using recovered thermal energy.
Step 2: Heating & sterilization stage
Product is heated to required temperature (typically 72–85°C) for microbial elimination.
Step 3: Holding stage
Milk is maintained at sterilization temperature for a set time to ensure safety.
Step 4: Cooling stage
Sterilized product is rapidly cooled using chilled water or cooling medium.
Step 5: Heat recovery stage
Outgoing hot product transfers heat to incoming raw material, improving energy efficiency.
