Automatic 8-Zone Tunnel Pasteurizer Bottle & Can Tunnel Pasteurisation Machine for Beer Customizable
Our Automatic Tunnel Pasteurizer is a continuous spray-type thermal treatment system designed to extend shelf life of bottled beer, cider, RTD beverages and canned food. Featuring 8 independently controlled temperature zones (pre-heating → pasteurisation holding → staged cooling), the unit gradually raises and lowers product temperature via circulating water spray to prevent thermal shock in glass bottles while ensuring precise PU (Pasteurisation Units) accumulation for microbiological stability.
Compatible with glass bottles (330ml–750ml) and aluminum cans, capacities from 800–1,000 BPH up to 3,000 BPH and beyond are fully customizable to match your filling line speed.

Usage Scenarios
Craft & Commercial Breweries – Post-fill pasteurisation of bottled/canned beer & cider for 6–12 month shelf life.
Beverage Bottlers – RTD tea, juice, sparkling water in glass or PET (with adapted temp profile).
Food Canning Lines – Canned fruit, vegetables, sauces requiring in-package thermal sterilisation.
Contract Packagers – Flexible changeover between bottle and can formats on same line.
Export-Oriented Producers – Meet international shelf-stability standards with documented PU logging.

Key Features
01
8 Independent Temperature Zones with PID Control
Fine-tuned gradient heating/cooling protects glass from cracking and preserves hop aroma.
02
Real-Time PU Calculation & Data Logging
Ensures batch-to-batch compliance; USB/SD export for QA records.
03
Multi-Format Compatibility
Quick-change guide rails adapt to different bottle/can diameters without major downtime.
04
Heat Recovery Circulation System
Warm water from cooling section pre-heats incoming rinse water → reduces steam consumption by 20–30%.
05
VFD-Controlled Conveyor Speed
Adjust dwell time to hit target PU for different products from one HMI screen.
06
360° Over/Under Spray Nozzles
Uniform temperature distribution across all containers; no cold spots.
07
Fully Automatic Operation
One-button start; alarms for temp deviation, low water level, belt jam.
Product Advantages
| Advantage | Explanation |
| Extended Shelf Life | Proper PU pasteurisation eliminates wild yeast/bacteria → 6–12 month stable shelf life. |
| Low Bottle Breakage | Gradual 8-zone temp ramp-up/ramp-down → <0.3% breakage even with thin-wall glass. |
| Flavor Preservation | Controlled max temp (60–65°C) + short hold time retains volatile hop compounds vs flash pasteurisation. |
| Flexible Capacity | Start at 800 BPH for craft lines; scale to 3,000+ BPH with longer tunnel or added lanes. |
| Energy Efficient | Cascading water recirculation recovers heat from cooling zone → lower operating cost. |
| Audit-Ready QA | PU logger with timestamp & temp curve supports HACCP/food safety audits. |
| Seamless Line Integration | Inline with filler discharge conveyor & downstream dryer/labeler. |
frequently asked questions
1
Q: What bottle and can sizes does this tunnel pasteurizer accept?
A: Glass bottles 330–750ml and standard aluminum cans; guide rails adjustable per format.
2
Q: How is pasteurisation effectiveness verified?
A: Built-in PU calculator displays real-time PU value; data log exportable for QA documentation.
3
Q: Will the gradual heating prevent glass bottle breakage?
A: Yes, 8-zone gradient heating/cooling minimises thermal stress; breakage typically <0.3%.
