Hermis TP Tunnel Pasteurizer (2025)

OVERVIEW

This Hermis TP-HRW 20 stainless steel tunnel pasteurizer is a new and unused machine, manufactured in 2025, designed for the pasteurization of beer in 500 ml bottles. The pasteurizer has a capacity of approx. 20,000 bottles per hour and is configured as a 10-zone tunnel pasteurizer with heating, pasteurization and cooling sections.

The machine is fully made of stainless steel AISI 304 and is equipped with an external plate heat exchanger for the heating system. The process is controlled by a Siemens S7-1200 PLC with a Siemens Simatic 12" HMI touch panel, allowing automatic control of the pasteurization process. The system is designed for a product inlet temperature of approx. +4°C, a pasteurization temperature of approx. +62°C to +64°C, and an outlet temperature of approx. +34°C to +35°C.

The pasteurizer provides a total treatment area of approx. 74 m², with a treatment length of approx. 13.5 m and a total machine length of approx. 15.3 m. The complete process cycle is approx. 45 minutes, achieving approx. 24 PU based on the given 500 ml beer bottle configuration.
