Standardising the systems for heat transfer security in pasteurising

摘要

With the imminent release of a revised Australian Standard for milk pasteurisation equipment, Phillip Lowe and John Van Ballekom from Tetra Pak review the three systems that the standard will recommend for heat transfer security. A review of AS 3993.1 - 1992 Equipment For The Pasteurization Of Milk And Other Liquid Dairy Products has been completed in response to industry demands for opportunities to change technologies. It is due for release shortly. It is expected that established design principles will be reinforced, but there will be sufficient flexibility to allow designers and suppliers to introduce alternative technologies that ensure production safety.
