Used Alfa Laval Flexitherm mini flash pasteuriser 15 HL-HTechnical Specifications & Performance DataThe Flexitherm Mini is a compact flash pasteurizer module engineered for precise thermal treatment of beverages within an industrial packaging environment. Manufactured by Alfa Laval in 2021, this skid-mounted system combines efficient heat exchange with automated control to stabilize product quality before filling. Optimized for small to mid-scale beverage production, it offers a reliable solution for breweries and beverage processors seeking second hand or never-used equipment that integrates easily into a used bottling line.Manufacturer: Alfa LavalModel: Flexitherm MiniYear: 2021Pasteurization Type: FlashCapacity: 5–15 hl/hMain skid dimensions (L×W×H): 2800 mm × 2000 mm × 2300 mmIncluded components: Main skid with integrated control panel, external pump, and buffer tank (~20 hl, approx. 1200 mm diameter × 3500 mm height)Advanced Automation & Control SystemsThe integrated control panel provides centralized, user-friendly operation for temperature profiles, holding times, flow, and alarms. The automated control strategy helps maintain consistent pasteurization units with accurate heat balance and stable setpoints. Operator guidance, trending, and recipe handling support repeatable results across batches. Protective interlocks and alarm logic help safeguard the process and equipment during start-up, operation, and CIP.Production Line Integration CapabilitiesThis flash pasteurizer integrates upstream with storage or bright tanks and downstream with filling, labeling, and capping on a complete bottling or canning line. Its compact footprint simplifies retrofit projects in beverage production facilities and can be deployed as a standalone thermal treatment skid or integrated with existing CIP systems and factory automation. Suitable for PET and glass bottle workflows as well as canning operations, it supports flexible beverage production configurations.Machine Condition & Maintenance HistoryThe unit was assembled and tested, but never used in production. It is in pristine condition with full technical documentation and the original invoice available. Its preserved state and comprehensive paperwork streamline commissioning and validation for immediate deployment in a second hand or refurbished used bottling line.Operational Performance & VersatilityDesigned to deliver stable flash pasteurization performance, the Flexitherm Mini provides consistent product heating, precise holding, and effective regeneration for energy efficiency. The included buffer tank enhances line stability during filler stops and restarts, reducing product losses. Its compact design is well-suited for beverage production environments focused on quality assurance, microbiological stability, and efficient changeovers.Installation Requirements & Site PreparationThe skid-mounted layout simplifies placement and connection, minimizing on-site assembly. Plan for suitable floor space based on the listed dimensions and allow service access for valves, instrumentation, and heat exchangers. Utilities typically include electrical power, process water, product in/out connections, CIP interfaces, and a heat source (steam or hot water) per site standards. Proper drainage and ventilation around the skid are recommended for safe operation and maintenance.Safety Standards & Compliance CertificationThe system features hygienic design practices consistent with food and beverage production, with sanitary piping and components to support clean-in-place procedures. Operator protections include emergency stop access and alarm handling through the control panel. The machine’s design supports compliance with industrial safety and hygiene expectations for beverage processing lines, facilitating integration into quality-managed production environments.
