Home Pasteurisation Project
So, for a while now I've been planning to build my own pasteurisation rig.
There's a few ideas in the offing, which include;
- 12/24VDC control
- Running off the battery bank
- Using design principles from industrial pasteurisers
- Heat exchanger for the heating circuit for quick heating.
- Delay pipe for the kill time
- Chilled fluid vessel for the cooling ciruit for high speed cooling
- Divert valves for the switchover
- Chilled/heated fluids generated by peltier cooler, which require
- 160 A at 12 V
- 20KHz PWM Controllers and power electronics to suit
- Control via the Siemens S7 PLC I have sitting around.
There's a heap of plumbing required, but that's yet to be thought about in detail.
In the meantime, I'll build the peltier unit and it's controllers to generate the fluids.

Sounds pretty cool. Is this so you can get your stuff from your stock to market without needing a third party?
golly, I should check this blog more often....
The purpose of the unit is entirely for domestic consumption. Though if the unit spec's out, I'll register it.
I'd like to be able to build up stores of home milk and then do the various conversions on site in 'bulk' (1-200L batches), as cheddaring in quantities less than that with my work loading is completely pointless.
Doign an updated post presently.
