At MicroThermics, we are proud to be an industry-leading manufacturer of sterilizing lab equipment. Our state-of-the-art equipment is specifically designed to provide accurate simulations of the production process, ensuring that our customers' products will scale up to meet the demands of commercial production. In this blog, we will discuss the importance of accurate thermal process simulation and how our equipment and services can help your company streamline its R&D and processing while reducing costs.
The Importance of Accurate Thermal Process Simulation
Fluid products like juices, plant-based or dairy-based drinks, smoothies, and other products must be pasteurized or aseptically processed (sterilized) by Sterile Filling Equipment before being sold. These processes can affect the color, flavor, viscosity, texture, and other qualities of the product. To ensure that the lab process accurately simulates the production process, it must be a scaled-down version of the production process. This is crucial to ensure that the product formulas will scale up to production.
The Hold Tube is a vital component of thermal processing as it ensures that there has been a sufficient reduction of bacteria to either pasteurize or aseptically process (sterilize) the product. However, it represents only one part of the overall process that determines the qualities of the product. Products made on pilot equipment that doesn’t simulate the entire process will not represent how they will come out of a production plant. That is why it is essential to consider the whole process.
Our Methods to Ensure Accurate Thermal Process Simulation
At MicroThermics, we take into account the WHOLE process. We use a variety of methods to ensure the process you do in the lab matches production, including:
• Time/Temperature Histories: We provide time/temperature graphs that show the thermal exposure of a product over time as it flows through a commercial pasteurizer or sterilizer.
• Empirical testing: We have a lab to run your products to compare them with your commercial products.
• Proprietary mathematical proprietary comparison methods: We use mathematical models that can accurately simulate commercial processes.
More than 30 years of experience: Our team of experts has been working in the industry for over 30 years, providing our customers with the knowledge and expertise they need to develop their products.
