ASEPTIC TANK
The product, once pasteurized or
sterilized, can be stored, pending filling, in an aseptic tank. Freefield
offers a wide range of aseptic buffer tanks designed to fit specific
process.
All Freefield aseptic tanks ensure that
the highest degree of asepticity is maintained, through the use of
microfiltered steam for steam barriers and sterilization prior to production, aseptic filtered air and nitrogen for
pressure maintaining.
Depending on the customer’s needs, each
tank can be equipped with additional elements such as booster
pump to extract viscous products, external water
jacket for maintaining specific product temperature,
agitators, etc. Freefield's technical team designs it according to the
product's characteristics while meeting space requirements.
RECEIVING TANK
The receiving tanks are used to receive the product awaiting processing and act as storage in the event of machine downtime or variations in operating flow rates of the downstream plant.
When producing fruit and vegetable puree, juices and dairy products, the actions of extraction, pumping and mixing will introduce undesired air in the products, mainly as foam.
The presence of gases can adversely affect the production plant performance while compromising the quality of food products, decreasing their appealing particularly in terms of flavour and colour.
Tanks with Deaeration systems are used for both receiving and deaeration processes of fruit and vegetable puree and juices, in order to remove encapsulated air from the product and preventing oxidation before being further processed.
Upon request, Freefield can provide a system for the recovery of flavors that may be removed from the product during the deaeration process.
