Petek TKO1-6000-04SL

Used PETEK tunnel pasteurizer Year 2020Technical Specifications & Performance DataThis 2020 PETEK tunnel pasteurizer, model TKO1-6000-04SL, is designed for controlled thermal treatment of bottled products within an industrial packaging and beverage production line. Its tunnel configuration supports continuous bottle handling through six pasteurization zones, helping producers achieve a consistent thermal process before downstream packaging operations.Manufacturer: PETEKModel: TKO1-6000-04SLYear: 2020Pasteurization system: Tunnel pasteurizerZones: 6Overall length: approximately 9600 mmOverall width: approximately 3200 mmOverall height: approximately 2300 mmMaximum bottle height: 450 mmConstruction: 304 stainless steelAdvanced Automation & Control SystemsThe machine is equipped with a Siemens S7-315 2PN/DP PLC, providing a robust automation platform for managing tunnel pasteurization functions and coordinating the process stages. This control architecture is suited to integration with industrial bottling equipment and line-level automation. English manuals and electrical diagrams are included to support operation, troubleshooting and electrical integration.The six-zone layout enables the process to be managed across successive heating and cooling stages. Machines of this type typically allow production teams to monitor process conditions and maintain repeatable treatment across the bottle flow.Production Line Integration CapabilitiesThis PETEK tunnel pasteurizer is intended for inline installation in a used bottling line or beverage production environment. It can be positioned after filling and closing, with the outlet dryer supporting the transfer of bottles toward labeling, inspection or secondary industrial packaging equipment.Designed for bottle handling up to 450 mm in height, the tunnel system offers compatibility with production layouts requiring continuous conveyor-based transport. The available dryer at the pasteurizer outlet helps remove external moisture before downstream operations where dry bottle surfaces are beneficial.Machine Condition & Maintenance HistoryManufactured in 2020, this second hand tunnel pasteurizer is described as like new and remains in production. Its current operating status provides buyers with an opportunity to assess the equipment in an active beverage production setting. The machine is supplied complete with pumps, and spare parts are available.The 304 stainless steel construction is well suited to the hygienic operating environment associated with bottling equipment. Included manuals and electrical diagrams support maintenance planning and future commissioning requirements.Operational Performance & VersatilityTunnel pasteurization is a continuous thermal process used to stabilize bottled products after filling and closure. The six-zone configuration supports a staged process through the tunnel, while steam sanitization supports hygienic preparation of the equipment. This configuration is relevant to beverage production operations that require reliable post-filling thermal treatment.The integrated outlet dryer broadens the machines practical role within a production line by preparing bottles for subsequent handling and packaging machinery. The complete pump set supports circulation requirements associated with the pasteurization process.Installation Requirements & Site PreparationSite planning should allow for an installation footprint of approximately 9600 mm in length, 3200 mm in width and 2300 mm in height, together with adequate access for operation, maintenance and connection to adjacent conveyors. Bottle transfer interfaces should be aligned with the existing line layout and bottle height requirements.Installation planning should also account for the steam sanitization system, process-water circulation equipment, pumps, drainage arrangements and electrical connection to the PLC-controlled system. The outlet dryer should be incorporated into the downstream conveyor and packaging flow.Safety Standards & Compliance CertificationThe pasteurizer is built in 304 stainless steel, a material widely used in hygienic food and beverage production environments. Operational documentation includes English manuals and electrical diagrams, supporting correct use and maintenance of the equipment.During installation and operation, the tunnel, steam sanitization circuit, pumps, dryer and connected conveyors should be incorporated into the sites established safety procedures. Appropriate access control, guarding and safe isolation practices should be applied as part of the complete bottling equipment installation.
