The MTC-4000 a simple yet efficient pasteurization test method used to measure the short time, pasteurization holding
period required by the U.S. public health
code. This code states that every particle
of milk or product be heated to 160˚F for a
minimum of 15 seconds. The MTC-4000
measures this short time pasteurization
period to 1/100th of a second accuracy.
The MTC-4000 pasteurization test
timer can also be used with any other
conductive liquid requiring pasteurization.
(i.e. juices and other liquid products)
Start and stop probe assemblies are
mounted at 2 different areas on the
pasteurization holding tube. The top of the
SSI-003 salt injector is attached to a
pressurized air source while the bottom is
attached to the start probe injection nozzle
with high pressure reinforced tubing.
Once the SSI-001 liquid output valve is
manually opened, saline solution is injected
into the holding tube which starts the
counter. When the saline solution reaches
the stop probe, the counter stops providing
the elapsed time. The operator can then
run additional tests to satisfy the health
code.
