Make your own pasteuriser

What is included in the DIY service from Viravix

• we will prepare the equipment installation project;
• we will select and purchase a pasteuriser;
• we develop assembly drawings, installation manuals and a 3D model of the future machine and send them to you;
• order components for assembly from the manufacturer;
• we will train your employees;
• provide remote support for installation, commissioning via QiVisor;
• we will take the facility under warranty.

You need technicians who are able to understand the drawings and manuals and make the mechanical assembly according to them.

Tests and commissioning will also be carried out under our supervision.

Contractors or equipment manufacturers do not always trust the client to install and commission the pasteurizer. They may refuse warranty service if the customer performs such work on their own. They do not control the assembly process and therefore cannot be held responsible for the quality.

We have considered all risks and developed a step-by-step algorithm in our DIY pasteuriser service to avoid installation errors. You get a functioning machine and you save on two components:

• the contractor’s engineers’ travel costs are about 300 euros per day;
• the cost of components for assembly – we will purchase them ourselves at a 15-20% discount as an engineering company.

Viravix Engineering cooperates officially with the equipment manufacturers as a representative and provides service. We will take over the pasteuriser for warranty service.

Preparing for installation

Viravix Engineers:

Develop a p&id diagram of the pasteuriser

This is a detailed drawing of the pasteurisation process, showing the main and auxiliary units, connections and controllers. The P&id diagram helps to understand how the future pasteuriser will work.

Prepare a 3D model of the equipment

This is a three-dimensional representation of the equipment and protects against mechanical assembly errors

Develop a set of assembly drawings

for all elements of the pasteuriser and write assembly instructions.

Prepare a bill of quantities for the equipment

Develop a circuit diagram for the pasteuriser

Supply of equipment

Viravix Engineering:

Organises the purchase of the pasteuriser

and assembly parts through its representative offices. In this way, the customer will receive a discount on spare parts as an engineering company.

Assembles the electrical cabinet for the pasteuriser

The functionality of the QiVisor sensors and therefore the automation process depends on its function. In order to control the assembly of the pasteuriser, we need a functioning electrical system. We therefore carry out this step ourselves

Installation and commissioning

A Viravix engineer observes all the actions of the customer’s employees via QiVisor monitoring system. If an error occurs, he corrects their actions or independently checks the operation of individual elements remotely.

Client’s employees:

• The pasteuriser is assembled on site according to prefabricated drawings and 3D models.
• Check the function of each component of the pasteuriser by switching it on and off and opening and closing it. This is the dry test phase.
• Calibrate the detectors. Sensors are universal, so make sure they work correctly in the operating conditions.
• The pasteuriser is tested with steam, air, water and electricity. This is to check the equipment for leaks. If leaks are detected, the workers tighten the connections.
• A manual start-up of the pasteuriser is carried out. At this stage the performance of the equipment is evaluated: pressure, temperature, flow rate etc. Based on the results of the test runs, Viravix engineers write a test automation programme.
• The equipment is put into automatic operation. The pasteurizer operator, design engineer and customer technician evaluate the process controlled by the draft program. They pass on the comments to the developer and he corrects the software.
• The pasteuriser is tested under operating conditions. In this phase any faults not detected in the tests and manual start-up are finally eliminated.

Warranty service

The work is carried out remotely by specialists from Viravix Engineering with the help of a monitoring system. In complicated cases, experts can visit the site in person.
