Hisaka Tube Type Sterilizer (RMS Series) is a continuous sterilization system specifically engineered for viscous liquids and products containing small particulates. Unlike plate heat exchangers that can clog with thick products, the tube type design uses large-diameter stainless steel tubes to handle challenging products smoothly while maintaining efficient heat transfer and consistent quality.
Large-diameter tubes allow smooth flow of thick, viscous products like jam, paste, sauce, and concentrated soups without clogging or excessive pressure buildup.
Generous tube diameter accommodates products with small solid particles such as vegetables, fruits, meat chunks, and grains without damaging the particulate structure.
Optimized flow velocity ensures gentle treatment of delicate particulates. The product maintains its natural texture, shape, and appearance after sterilization.
Automatic temperature regulation with flow diversion valve (FDV) ensures only properly processed product is discharged. Under-temperature product is automatically diverted back for reprocessing.
Heat recovery system uses hot outgoing product to pre-heat incoming cold product, reducing steam and cooling water consumption by up to 90%.
Sanitary stainless steel construction with smooth internal surfaces prevents product buildup. Compatible with CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place) for automated cleaning.
The Tube Type Sterilizer operates through continuous flow inside stainless steel tubes:
Product enters the system from the balance tank and is pumped through the tubular heat exchanger unit.
Product is pre-heated by the hot outgoing product flowing in the opposite direction (counter-current), maximizing energy recovery.
Product flows through heated tubes surrounded by steam or hot water jacket, reaching the target sterilization temperature rapidly.
Product maintains target temperature in the holding tube for the required time to ensure complete sterilization.
Product is cooled by chilled water in the cooling section, bringing it to the filling temperature.
Sterilized product exits at controlled temperature, ready for aseptic filling or hot filling operations.
Hisaka Tube Type Sterilizer (RMS Series) is ideal for products that cannot be processed by plate heat exchangers:
Tomato ketchup, chili sauce, curry roux, pasta sauce, and thick soups that would clog plate heat exchangers.
Vegetable soup, fruit jam with pieces, meat stew, chili con carne, and products containing small solid chunks.
Ice cream mix, condensed milk, cream cheese, and high-viscosity dairy products requiring gentle handling.
Custard, pudding mix, flan, and dessert bases that require gentle thermal processing to maintain texture.
Curry, stew, sauce, and prepared meals for retort pouch packaging requiring continuous sterilization before filling.
Fruit puree, concentrate, jam, marmalade, and high-solids content products requiring efficient heat transfer.
Large tube diameter handles viscous and particulate products that would block plate heat exchangers, reducing downtime.
Optimized flow design preserves the shape and texture of vegetables, fruits, and meat pieces in the product.
Heat recovery system reduces steam and cooling water usage by up to 90%, lowering operating costs significantly.
Precise temperature control ensures every batch meets safety standards while maintaining product flavor and texture.
