JUMP STERILIZER is designed for processing food products containing solid ingredients in pieces or particulates, destined to subsequent aseptic packaging. Product is subject to a thermal cycle by means of single pipe indirect heat exchangers, made of two pipes with variable profiles having decreasing diameters, placed one inside the other.

Product flows inside the internal pipe, while heating and cooling fluids circulate in counter-current to the product, inside the external anular space. This process allows preserving the product at room temperature over long periods of time, while the whole plant is fully automated.

This plant is normally included in a complete aseptic production line, providing for the following processing phases:

• Preparation (mixer)
• Product pre-heating
• Product sterilization by means of the JUMP MT unit
• Intermediate aseptic product storage in horizontal or vertical tanks according to product type (optional)
• Sterile bag filling by means of an aseptic filler
