Small flash pasteuriser for beer – Specifically for craft brewers
For smaller and craft breweries Krones has expanded its product portfolio – and is now offering flash pasteurisers providing thermal product treatment for them as well. “The new variant of the VarioFlash B is particularly suitable for the low output range of between 18 and 40 hectolitres per hour, and can be combined not only with bottle and can fillers, but also and especially with kegging systems or with the BEVkeg system for filling disposable PET beverage kegs,” explains Dr. Roland Feilner, expert at Krones.
The advantages of being a downscaled construction
-This VarioFlash B variant can be packed in just a single container, which significantly facilitates and accelerates commissioning.
-Thanks to its compact dimensions, product losses at type change-overs are also correspondingly low.
-A reduced number of components, combined with this variant’s sturdy technology, downsizes maintenance costs.
-The horizontal buffer tank also included in the scope of delivery ensures that the output is automatically adjusted to allow for fluctuations in production, thus minimising product losses and media consumption levels.
“The VarioFlash B series is particularly well suited for handling beer and beer-based mixed drinks discharged at low or ambient temperature,” explains Dr. Roland Feilner further. To ensure especially gentle and dependable product heat-up, the flash pasteurisers feature a sliding PU control system and an adapted hot-water circuit.
Portfolio for craft brewers expanded
The small variant of the VarioFlash B flash pasteuriser is yet another constituent in Krones’ product portfolio for smaller and craft breweries – to complement the MicroCube, the small-batch brewing system, and the Craftmate can filler for the low output range.
