Lo.V.Milk12
The new HTST Pasteurizer for human milk banks
Labor Baby srl is pleased to present, the new pasteurizer Lo.V. Milk 12 for processing of human milk collected in Human Milk Banks with the HTST method (High Temperature Short Time)
The Lo.V.Milk 12 pasteurizer, with its patented HTST process (European Patent N. 2974603 “Continuous flow pasteurizer for small amounts of liquid food”), keeps human milk much more similar to raw breast milk than the traditional method of pasteurization (Holder pasteurization: 62,5° C for 30′), maintaining the same microbiological safety.
Prodict description
General characteristics
- Heating the milk from 4°/5° C to 72° C in 15 seconds
- Maintaining the temperature at 72°C for 15 seconds
- Cooling the pasteurized milk to a temperature of 10°C in 15 seconds
- Loading with raw milk at a temperature of 4/5°C directly from the containers
- Tank for pasteurized milk cooled to 4°C, with a stirrer system to avoid fat separation
- The process is driven by a PLC (Programmable Logic Control) which controls all the pasteurization parameters (temperature, flow, etc.) with monitor touch screen
- Milk delivery directly in 60 ml and 100 ml feeding bottles, with a minimum volume of 5 ml (operations managed by the PLC system)
- Automatic “rinse-wash-rinse” CIP washing (Cleaning In Place)
- Compliant with HACCP procedures and EMBA recommendations
- Pasteurization process validated at the laboratories of the National Research Concuil (CNR) of Turin and of the University of Turin
Advantages
The biggest advantages compared to Holder pasteurization (LTLT= 62,5° C for 30 minutes) are:
- Unaltered protein profile
- Increased retention of IgA, lactoferrin and lipase
- Minor loss of the antioxidant capacity of human milk
Tests carried out in the laboratories of the National Research Concuil (CNR) of Turin and of the University of Turin
