In times of rising energy costs and companies putting more efforts in sustainability, “warm beer filling” has shown significant advantages as an energy efficient solution. Especially when a flash pasteurizer is used to enhance the shelf life of the beer, large quantities of cooling energy are saved when the pasteurized beer doesn’t need to be cooled down again to freezing temperatures but instead is filled at warmer temperatures than those originally from the tanks. Energy efficient and microbiological safe flash pasteurization combined with hygienic upgrades at a state-of-the-art filler is cutting-edge technology. Set-up, design, and potential savings will be shown.
