This is our flagship line of equipment, a small footprint, can-only non-regenerative tunnel pasteurizer. Designed to integrate in small spaces, oftentimes on production floors that weren’t originally laid out to have a tunnel pasteurizer. As the craft beverage industry changes the Tunnel of Love has facilitated pasteurization in craft beverage production facilities allowing our customers to innovate and adhere to the demands of an ever evolving industry. We build these tunnels to pasteurize throughput rates of 25 – 300 cpm with multiple PU (pasteurization unit) capability options. 

As the product moves through the tunnel it is heated by circulating water to a manipulatable pasteurization temperature in the heating zone and held at that temperature for a defined period of time. It is then cooled back down in the cooling zone to stop pasteurization and return the product to a suitable handling temperature.

The holding time and temperature at which the product is pasteurized is often determined by an accredited lab or process authority and assured by the production staff, It is measured in pasteurization units (PU’s) by a data logger, included in our tunnel pasteurizer scope of supply. Our easy-to-use, touch screen interface allows for efficient observation and manipulation as necessary during this process, and recipes can also be saved for repeated use.
