pasteuriser
Germ-killing machine
A pasteuriser is a machine or apparatus that heats liquids—typically milk, juice, or beer—to a specific temperature for a set time to kill harmful microorganisms, then rapidly cools them.
Industrial pasteurisers process large volumes in dairy plants and breweries.
Also spelled pasteurizer.
