45141014Pre-Owned Vacuum Thermal Instant Sterilizer (VTIS) – 65 GPM, Steam Injector System
Used- Direct Steam Injection Sterilization System, 65 GPM. Vacuum Thermal Instant Sterilization (VTIS) is designed to sterilize fermentation media at temperatures up to 290F for 20 second hold time. Product is pre-heated to 175F before going into the Hydrothermal Steam Injector. The Steam injector puts steam in direct contact with the product and then it goes into the flash chamber, which removes the extra water added from the condensed steam. Then the sterilized product is cooled to the final temperature in the Regeneration Heat Exchanger section. Upon exiting the regen section, the product goes from the VTIS Skid to the fermenter.
