    VarioFlash B flash pasteuriser

      Thermal product treatment for the best beer quality

      Natural, tasty and durable

      Procedures for the product preservation and safe, hygienic sequences are essential factors when it comes to product manufacture – and this obviously also applies to beer. The Krones VarioFlash B flash pasteuriser guarantees the safe microbiological filling of beer. Since every product has its own requirements, Krones adjusts the machine individually to suit the respective applications.

      At a glance:

      • Output range from 1,800 to 60,000 litres per hour
      • Fields of application: beer, flavoured beer, wine and spritzers
      • Enhanced beer quality with express pasteurisation
      • If the line is stopped: "Eco-hygienic sleep mode" stand-by operation for minimal energy and water consumption 
      • Highest microbiological safety thanks to line sterilisation and variable PU control
      • Intelligent use of surplus energy, such as from the bottle washer

      Optional additional module: Integrated carbonation

      Krones is the only manufacturer on the market to integrate a module for carbonation directly in the heating system.

      Benefits to you

      • Considerably smaller footprint (than if it were to be installed as an individual machine): no additional buffer tank needed as the existing product tank acts as a buffer 
      • Everything in a single system: sterilisation is possible directly through the hot-water circuit in the VarioFlash B
      • Optimal microbiological conditions: omission of unnecessary components after product heating
      • Highest CO2 dosing accuracy: ≦ 0.08 g/l (temperature-dependent, if production conditions remain consistent, described as sigma 1)
      • More flexible line concepts possible: e. g. use of a less expensive free-flow plate heat exchanger (compared to the tubular heat exchanger)
      • Many years of experience: more than 1,500* delivered Contiflow systems, allowing us to become familiar with the exact challenges presented by carbonation

      Applications:

      • Sorghum beer 
      • High-gravity brewing
      • Etc.

      Benefits to you

      High accuracy and product safety

      The high-precision PU control provides guaranteed microbiological quality by using the maximum buffer capacity. The exact adherence of the selected heating temperature is redundantly monitored.

      Economic efficiency and best product quality

      Our systems for energy recovery and the patented standby mode reduce the consumption of energy. Innovative procedures like the express pasteurisation provide improved beer quality on top.

      Flexibility in the production process

      Product changes can be realised within just 30 minutes (between the last and the first bottle) with intermediate water rinsing and appropriate hardware and software.

      Hygienic design

      The compact and hygienic design ensures high process safety, eases maintenance and reduces the loss of product through reduced mixing phases during the start and stop phases.

      Precise tracking of all operation steps

      All process-relevant parameters are saved and archived by an electronic data writer.

      Hundreds of satisfied customers

      The VarioFlash is a model for success: With more than 250* reference customers, this system is one of our most-built units, guaranteeing best product quality worldwide.
