Beverage equipment Used Pasteurizer PG 2008

Manufacturer: PG

Technical Specifications & Performance Data The PG Used Pasteurizer PG 2008 is a stainless steel tunnel pasteurizer/rain cooler designed for reliable thermal treatment of jars, bottles, and cans within a used bottling line or food processing line. Built for tomato purée in 0.72 L glass bottles, it provides controlled heating and cooling via shower pasteurization and efficient water recovery. Manufacturer: PG Year: 2008 Construction: All stainless steel, hygienic design Conveyor: PG Intralox mesh modular belt Useful tunnel length: 13,500 mm Net tunnel width: 2,000 mm Water recovery: 3 tanks with dedicated pumps Process: Rain shower pasteurization and cooling Heat exchanger: Not equipped Process recorder: Included Steam system: Steam regulation group with stainless steel hood and outlet Infeed/outfeed: Belts for jars, cans, or pots Bottle/jar format: 0.72 L primary configuration Container types: Designed for glass; adaptability to PET bottles and aluminum cans subject to engineering check and change parts Capacity/speed: Program- and product-dependent; available upon request after thermal program definition Advanced Automation & Control Systems This second hand tunnel pasteurizer features a stainless steel electrical panel and an integrated process recorder to document pasteurization temperatures and dwell times. A steam regulation group provides stable thermal control across zones, supporting consistent pasteurization units (PU) when configured for beverage production or viscous foods. Control interface: Stainless steel panel with process recorder Automation: Automated shower zones with adjustable steam control Electrical: Specifications to be confirmed; configurable to site requirements Safety: Safety features included with interlocked access, emergency stops, and guarded moving parts Documentation: Manuals available for operation and maintenance Production Line Integration Capabilities Engineered to sit downstream of filling and capping and upstream of labeling, drying, and end-of-line packaging, this pasteurizer integrates smoothly within a used bottling line or industrial packaging setup. Infeed and outfeed conveyors facilitate connection with depalletizers, rinsing machines, fillers, cappers, and labelers. Compatible with fillers for jars, bottles, and cans (glass, PET, aluminum) Functions after filling/capping and before labeling and case packing Format change potential with suitable guides, carriers, and programming Supports products from sauces and spreads to certain beverages (e.g., beer, cider, soft drinks, water, juice, wine) when thermally appropriate Machine Condition & Maintenance History The unit is currently in storage in preserved condition. It was previously configured to process tomato purée in 720 ml glass bottles. Visual condition is consistent with a maintained industrial machine; recommissioning may include inspections of pumps, seals, belt modules, and steam controls. Manuals are available to support installation, testing, and operator training. Status: In storage Previous application: 0.72 L glass bottles (tomato purée) Included: Safety features and documentation Recommended: Pre-start service, calibration, and functional test Operational Performance & Versatility Designed as a rain cooler/pasteurizer, the system provides gentle and uniform heat transfer suitable for viscous foods like spreads and sauces, minimizing label damage and container shock. With appropriate change parts and process validation, it can be adapted to handle a range of container materials and formats, aligning with beverage production needs or mixed product lines in industrial packaging. Ideal for spreads, sauces, tomato-based products, and similar viscous foods Potential to process beer, cider, soft drinks, juice, and water when configured Glass primary format; PET bottles and aluminum cans possible with validation Stable PU delivery with program-controlled steam and shower zones Installation Requirements & Site Preparation Before integration, confirm footprint, utility capacities, and access for maintenance. Provide clearances for operator walkways and service access along the length and both sides of the tunnel. Footprint: Approx. 13.5 m length x 2.0 m net width; allow additional space for access and conveyors Steam: Stable steam supply sized to thermal load Water: Process and make-up water with suitable flow and quality; floor drains for recovery tanks Electrical: Power supply to panel; details to be verified Ventilation: Ducting for stainless steel steam hood/outlet Flooring: Level, load-bearing, with adequate drainage Safety Standards & Compliance Certification The machine incorporates mechanical guards, interlocks, and emergency stops consistent with industrial practice for tunnel equipment. All product-contact and structural components are stainless steel to support hygiene, cleanability, and HACCP-oriented workflows. Compliance documentation and manuals are available for review; any local regulatory cer
