Cooler:
Beer thermic conditioning, in its various production phases,
finds in the plate heat exchanger a valid solution, thanks to
the high ratio between surface - volume, which is typical of
this machine. TMCI
Padovan dimensions and manufactures plate exchangers made in
stainless steel AISI 304/316 for heating, cooling and thermic
recovery, complete of accessories and automation.

Polyphenols are responsible for taste and colour degeneration
in bottled beer. Stabilization with PVPP (polyvinylpolypyrrolidone)
is recommended in order to improve the product's shelf-life.
PVPP's stabilizing action is brought about by the polyphenols
absorption. PVPP is regenerated with
a NaOH solution when its absorbing capacity is exhausted. The
process breaks the bonds with polyphenols and PVPP's
original structure is restored.
The entire PVPP treatment unit consists of: - PVPP processing unit; - in-line turbidity control with automatic recycling;- trap filter; - regeneration and sterilization unit (CIP).
A fully automated system can be supplied to control operations
such as beer filling, PVPP precoating, beer treatment by PVPP
dosing and inverter controlled flow, scavenge treatment, PVPP
regeneration with NaOH solution, neutralization,
sterilization, PVPP discharge and transfer into collecting tank.
The special features for PVPP treatment are the following: - large volume PVPP cake given by the high specific volume of PVPP wet powders; - even thickness of PVPP layer on the filtering plates throughout the entire process thanks to the special plate profile; - full exploitation of PVPP obtained by a continuous inner recycling of decanted PVPP on the filter bottom; - very small losses of PVPP ensured by the high efficiency of plate rinsing operations under closed filter conditions (less than 1% a cycle); - processing flowrate: approx. 1000-1200 l/sqm h.
C.I.P.
Industrial washing plants for the following processes:
- sterilization
- sanification with basic solutions
- neutralization with acid solutions
- rinses single run or recovery solution washings, conductivity,
temperature, flowrate and pH monitoring. Plants complete of stainless
steel tanks and heat-exchangers for preparation of washing solution
blending, pumps and valves for movimentation of the same solutions;
detergents on line dosing with metering pumps. CIP units are
both realized with manual and automatic controls; network connections
with other plants can be carried out for computerized control
of all the washing cycles.
Tunnel Pasteuriser:
Single or double deck modular construction, easy to transport and assemble. Stainless steel or enamelled steel frame. Wide range of models of different sizes which can be supplied according to overall space available on installation site. Maximum accessibility to ensure best operating, cleaning and servicing conditions. Walking beam or continuous belt and advancement systems. Suitable for bottles and cans. Heating and cooling are performed with water sprayed through nozzles ranged on manifolds. Water can be eliminated from the cans at outlet from tunnel by blowers. High heat regeneration features, saving steam and water. Programmed heating, holding and cooling times and temperatures to obtain ideal pasteurization conditions, according to preset number of PU (pasteurization units). Available with fully automatic PLC-programmed control system, including start-up, runnig and shut-down sequences, temperature and time regulation, temperature control during temporary pauses to prevent overpasteurization effects on beer.
Flash Pasteuriser:
All components have a sanitary design and are made of high grade stainless steel. A cleaning and sterilizing unit is integrated in the flash pasteurization unit to ensure high sanitary standards. The heat exchanger and the holding unit are designed to produce a pasteurizing effect according to the preset PU (pasteurization unit) figure. Beer is normally held for 30 seconds at 72 C to produce 25 PU.
Main features: - suitable also for beer with a high CO2 content; - heat exchanger plates available with press-in gaskets; - high heat regeneration efficiency; - available with semi or fully automatic control; - suitable to feed bottling, canning and keg filling lines or road tankers. An automatic design pasteurization unit includes: - buffer tank for sterilization and internal CIP processes; - high pressure feed pump inverter controlled; - plate heat exchanger consisting of a heat regeneration section, a heating section employing hot water, a cooling section employing a glycol solution or brine flow; - holding tubular unit; - hot water heating unit employing an automatically controlled steam flow; - regulation devices controlling beer flow, internal pressure, beer pasteurization and outlet temperatures; - PLC controlled system, including CIP, sterilization, start-up, running and shutdown sequences, PU set up. Relevant process data are continuously recorded by strip chart recorders; - buffer tank for outlet beer of suitable capacity to avoid recycles or overpasteurizations, coupled to a boost pump.
