Engineering Risks & FAQ - **Caution**: - **Caution**: - **Caution**: ### Q: What is the heat recovery efficiency of this pasteurization system? **A**: Our continuous flow pasteurization system achieves up to 90-95% heat recovery efficiency through its regenerative section, significantly reducing energy consumption and operating costs in dairy processing. ### Q: How does this system ensure dairy product safety and shelf life? **A**: The system precisely controls heating temperature (typically 72-85°C) and holding time (15-30 seconds) to eliminate pathogens while preserving product quality. This thermal processing extends shelf life while maintaining nutritional value and taste. ### Q: What maintenance is required for stainless steel 316L components? **A**: Stainless steel 316L offers excellent corrosion resistance in dairy environments. Regular cleaning with food-grade detergents and periodic inspection of seals and gaskets is recommended. The material withstands CIP (Clean-in-Place) procedures common in dairy manufacturing. ## 6.
