rörmärkepastör

Rörmärkepastör is a term used in some regions, particularly in Sweden, to refer to a pasteurizer specifically designed for heating milk or other dairy products within piping systems. The term combines "rör," meaning pipe, and "märkning," meaning marking or labeling, with "pastör," referring to the pasteurization process. This suggests a system where the pasteurization takes place as the product flows through pipes.

These pasteurizing systems are often employed in industrial dairy processing. They are designed for continuous operation, allowing for efficient and high-volume production. The milk is pumped through a series of pipes, where it is heated to a specific temperature for a predetermined amount of time to kill harmful bacteria. The exact temperature and time parameters are crucial for effective pasteurization while minimizing any negative impact on the product's taste and nutritional value.

Rörmärkepastör systems can be either direct or indirect heating. Direct heating involves steam being injected directly into the milk, while indirect heating uses a heat exchanger where the milk flows around a heated medium, such as hot water or steam. The design of these systems prioritizes hygiene and ease of cleaning to prevent contamination. They are a vital component in ensuring the safety and quality of milk and dairy products for consumption.
