16,000 LPH GEA Cream Pasteuriser Plant with Deaerator

Description

The used GEA Cream Pasteuriser Plant (Cream Treatment Unit) is available and sold as-is, currently still installed on site, and is non-operational following full factory shutdown, presenting a cost-effective opportunity for dairies seeking high-quality processing equipment at reduced capital cost. The plant is built around an energy-efficient GESA plate heat exchanger (PHE) with regenerative heating that transfers heat from pasteurized cream to incoming raw product, optimizing thermal efficiency. During production operation, cream flows through controlled heating circuits to final pasteurisation temperature and into holding tubes that deliver the required time and temperature profile for food safety compliance.
An integrated automatic divert valve system continuously monitors process temperatures and, if parameters fall outside specifications, redirects product back through the recirculation loop to maintain compliance and protect product quality. Once fully pasteurized, product is cooled using chilled water circuits within the PHE and transferred to storage. Control Panel incorporates Allen Bradley PLC, this Cream plant also includes Temperature control, flow-rate monitoring Flowmeters, Deaerator Vessel with Vacuum Pump and automated CIP capability. This used GEA cream pasteuriser plant, sold as-is and still installed, is available for immediate sale.
