This Pigo R is a used beverage processing machine — specifically an industrial pasteurization and cooling tunnel, sometimes referred to as a thermal treatment line — built in 2017 and currently located in Serbia. It is designed for the continuous thermal processing of pouch-packed liquid and semi-liquid food products, combining pasteurization and rapid cooling in a single integrated system.
The machine operates as a dual-zone line made up of two main sections: a pasteurization unit and a cooling unit, linked by semi-circular conveyor belts that allow uninterrupted product flow between the two zones. Product enters the pasteurization section at 85–87°C and is heat-treated up to 94–96°C using hot water circulating at 97°C, achieving the thermal conditions required for food safety and extended shelf life.
The system is built around a four-lane configuration, meaning it handles four pouches simultaneously throughout its entire length, making it directly compatible with four-head filling lines operating at high throughput. On the cooling side, two parallel cooling tunnels bring the product temperature down to 35°C using chilled water, stabilising the product after heat treatment while preserving its organoleptic properties.
At the outlet, an integrated air knife drying system uses air blades to remove residual surface moisture from the pouches, leaving them clean and dry for immediate downstream labelling or packing operations. The system uses steam heating in the pasteurization zone and chilled water in the cooling zone, and is designed for hygienic, fully automated continuous operation with minimal manual intervention. It is suited to a broad range of pouch-filled products including sauces, purees, juices, baby food, dairy products, and ready-to-eat meals.
This machine is offered for sale at €212,000.
