Thermal product treatment for the best juice quality
Natural, tasty and durable
Processes for the product preservation and safe, hygienic sequences are essential factors when it comes to product manufacture – and this obviously also applies to juice. The Krones VarioFlash J flash pasteuriser guarantees the safe microbiological filling of juice. Since every product has its own requirements, Krones adjusts the machines individually to the respective applications.
At a glance:
- Output range from 7,500 to 60,000 litres per hour
- Fields of application: Juice and CSD
- 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
Direct connection via swing bend panel or valve manifold
- Quality control possible during product change-overs

Design-Features
Integration according to your needs
- Direct connection or via swing bend panel or valve manifold
High product quality also under difficult conditions
- Particle filter in the media supply pipe
- Steam reduction compensates pressure fluctuations
Intelligent design for easy maintenance
- For example quick change-over of the axial face seals with moveable pump slides
Stable pasteurisation conditions
- Possible integration of a venting lantern to discharge the released CO2
The efficient product deaerator VarioSpin
You have invested a great deal in order to develop a fruit juice beverage of top quality? You want to be sure that this quality is preserved in the manufacturing and filling processes? Then integrate the Krones product deaerator VarioSpin in your manufacturing process. With VarioSpin you make use of a compact vacuum-assisted deaerator which permits highly effective filling processes without the formation of foam at the filling valve.
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
- 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
* As of: June 2022
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 juice quality on top.
Flexibility in the production process
Short change-over times (between the first and the last bottle) can be realised within 30 minutes with intermediate water flushing and the respective 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.
* As of: June 2022
This is why the VarioFlash J is enviro-classified
Energy efficiency
- Patented "Eco-hygienic Sleep Mode" stand-by operation for minimal energy and water consumption
- Heat exchanger designed for the product of each customer
- Internal heat recovery of up to 95 percent
Media efficiency
