pasteurizers
Dairy sanitation machines
Pasteurizers are machines or devices that heat liquids—typically milk, juice, or beer—to a specific temperature for a set time to kill harmful bacteria without significantly altering taste or nutritional value.
The term also applies to people who operate such equipment: The dairy employed three pasteurizers on the night shift.
