pasteurizer

Dairy sanitation device

A pasteurizer 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 without significantly altering flavor or nutritional value.

Industrial pasteurizers process large volumes continuously, while smaller units serve home brewers and small dairies.
