The Serial Tower is the perfect solution for flexible and fragile packaging, which requires counter-pressure to preserve its integrity.

The Serial Tower is a continuous pasteurization-sterilization system in which your products are placed on plates. It consists of at least two towers, with adjustable counter-pressure of up to 2 bar per tower, one for heating, the other for cooling, through which the product-filled plates pass.

The Serial Tower can also be coupled with the Continuous Modular Pasteurizer (CMP), for even greater capacity and cost-effectiveness! CMP elements can be placed upstream of the Serial Tower to preheat products, or downstream to cool them without back pressure.


  • Stainless steel tanks with diameters of 2,000 or 2,500 mm and heights of 5,000 to 9,000 mm depending on product cycle rates
  • Plates with useful dimensions of 1,200 x 1,200 mm or 1,600 x 1,200 mm


The Continuous Modular Pasteurizer (CMP) enables you to pasteurize your mass production in a continuous and flexible way by placing your packaged products on plates. It operates without back pressure and can be made up of 4 modular zones:

– the 1st for pasteurizing your products up to 90 – 95°C

– the 2nd to pre-cool your products to a core temperature of 30 – 40°C

– the 3rd to cool them to a temperature of 4°C

– the 4th for automatic storage of your products in the event of temporary stoppage of your production line, thus preventing your products from remaining in the hot zone or heating up after leaving at 4°C.

Highly modular, the CMP is suitable for customized heat treatment and easy variation of recipes and cycle times.

As well as being totally modular, the CMP is highly flexible:

– precise temperature adjustment by zone (hot and cold sections) ;

– adapted to your packaging shapes and sizes;

– cycle time adjustment ;

– possibility of “by-passing” different elevators ;

– elevator pitch adjustment (every second or third pitch) ;

The CMP can also be coupled with the Serial Tower for preheating or further core cooling.



If your challenge is to manage the production of a wide variety of packaged products at high speed, the Continuous Hydrostatic Pasteurizer (CHP) or Continuous Hydrostatic Sterilizer (CHS) is THE solution for you!

The CHP and CHS are made up of various zones dedicated respectively to temperature rise, heat treatment and product cooling.

Each zone is subdivided into several columns, within which specific exposure times, temperatures and pressures can be set independently.


At Steritech, we develop, manufacture and install flexible, turnkey, tailor-made solutions for continuous sterilization and pasteurization of your products all over the world.

This enables you to achieve high production capacities while guaranteeing the safety of your products and meeting your technical and technological constraints.
