Vat Batch Pasteurizers are insulated, jacketed, process tanks. When used with a
boiler and chilling system tanks can heat and cool almost any food, dairy, beverage
or chemical products.
The most common use for batch pasteurizers is in the dairy industry for milk
pasteurization. The Anco Batch Pasteurizers are available in standard or custom
sizes. They typically range from 50 to 2,000+ gallons in size.
The Anco Combo Vat is an open-top designed tank for the small cheesemaker; it
allows for milk pasteurization and cheesemaking in one vat.

Batch Pasteurizer Specifications and Tank Options

Tank Inspection
To ensure each tank is in good working order, Anco Equipment inspects every aspects of our
equipment before we ship our product. We ask all our clients to do the same.
Immediately upon arrival of the equipment, confirm the tank has not been scratched, dented, or
missing any parts during transit. Call Anco Equipment immediately if you find something wrong
with your order.
Prepping Instructions
Cleaning your vat: after the manufacturing and shipping process, it is important to thoroughly
wash and degrease your vat. Please see further in this manual or contact your chemical cleaning
supplier for recommendations.
Prior to tank use: be sure to clean and sanitize the vat, pump, outlet valve, supply lines and spray
balls (if present). If you decide to use a chemical based cleaning process; be sure to follow all
manufacturer’s instruction. To avoid pitting of your equipment NEVER let highly chlorinated
water stand more than ten minutes.
Boiler Installation Instructions
Please use a licensed boiler technician or licensed Pipe Fitter when installing the tank.
The tanks dimple plated jacket is designed to heat and/or cool with Glycol, a hot water boiler or a
steam boiler system. The jacket is tested and rate for 70 maximum pounds per square inch (PSI).
Low pressure boilers are recommended. If you are using a high pressure boiler confirm with your
state rules and regulations that no additional safety valves or documentation are required
(example: ASME).
A properly sized boiler can have your product at pasteurizing temperature within 25 minutes or
less. You will need a licensed plumber or boiler technician to install your boiler system. There
should be pressure valves installed to protect the tank jacket from reaching more than the
maximum PSI allowed. Please see further in this manual for proper boiler sizing.
If you are heating with steam; the steam inlet is the top port of jacket on the side. If the tank has
2 or more zones the bottom zone ports are interchangeable. See diagram further in this manual.
If you are heating or cooling with water or Glycol the inlet is the bottom or lowest port of jacket.
If the tank has 2 or more zones, the bottom zone ports are interchangeable. See diagram further
in this manual.

Batch Pasteurizer Overview

•Motor/Gearbox
–A licensed electrician is needed to hard wire the motor/gear and variable speed drive (if
applicable). Agitator must run clockwise.
–Frequently check the oil level plug and add oil if needed. Food grade oil is recommended.
•Gaskets
–Only food grade gaskets can be used on all ports and valves. Gaskets should be inspected
regularly for cracks or worn areas. The gaskets must be replaced every 18 months for
moderate use or when worn or damaged.
•Clean In Place-Spray Ball Cleaning Nozzles
–Unless otherwise noted, your tank is equipped with (2) Food Grade spray ball nozzles.
Please see diagram further in this manual for step by step cleaning and maintenance
procedure.
•Leak Detection Valve Instructions and Maintenance
–Each valve purchase includes a food-grade gasket and a tube of PetroLube.
–To install; clean the area of the tank where the gasket is place. Apply PetroLube to both
sides of the gasket and place on to the tank bolts. Lubricate the inner guts of valve before
setting in place. The PetroLube is a food-grade lubricant and is allowed to have product
contact. Please see diagram further in this manual.
–Also find video reference on YouTube under Anco Equipment.
•Adjustable Ball Feet
–Any threads showing on the tank’s adjustable ball feet must be sealed with a food grade
sealant.
•Exterior Threaded Ports:
–When connecting any process lines or tubing to the tank’s threaded ports; use a Food
Grade Anti-Seize & Lubricating Compound on the threaded area. This will help resist acid,
chemical corrosion & oxidation. Follow manufactures instructions.
•Electric Airspace Heater
–The electric airspace (if needed) will be installed on the lid or roof of tank. Please use a
licensed electrician for proper installation.

A properly sized boiler is the key to pasteurizing in a quick timely manner.
Since the maximum tank jacket pressure is 70 PSI and the maximum flow-
rate is 50 GPM, we recommend using a hot water or low-pressure steam
boiler. Check the boiler regulations in your state before purchasing a boiler.

Bottom Inlet & Outlet Ports are Interchangeable
Underneath the tank you will find two ports for the bottom zone or jacket.
Connect your steam, water, or Glycol lines here. The ports are
interchangeable so either port can be the inlet or the outlet. .
Bottom Jacket Ports
These ports are interchangeable

9/25/2018 10
Inlet & Outlet-Single Zone Jacket Install
Water or Glycol must always
enter from the lower inlet port
of the jacket and exit from the
top or higher jacket port.
Steam must always enter from the
top inlet jacket and exit from the
bottom or lower jacket port.

9/25/2018 11
Inlet & Outlet-Two Zone Jacket Install
Water or Glycol must always enter
from the lower inlet port of the
jacket and exit from the top or
higher jacket port.
Steam must always enter from the
top inlet jacket and exit from the
bottom or lower jacket port.
Bottom ports are interchangeable.
Bottom ports are interchangeable.

9/25/2018 12
Inlet & Outlet-Three Zone Jacket Install
Water or Glycol must always
enter from the lower inlet port of
the jacket and exit from the top
or higher jacket port.
Steam must always enter from the
top inlet jacket and exit from the
bottom or lower jacket port.

Proper Valve Maintenance & Handling
9/25/2018 15
DO’s
DON’Ts
Handle with Care (see Figure 1)
Never throw or drop valve parts into cleaning tank,
nicks in the valve will cause leaking.
Handle
improperly (see Figure 1)
Use Petro Gel a food
-grade lubricant around
the valve gasket, plug, nut, and inside the
body to seal. (see Figure 2)
Do
not block leak detect grooves with
lubricant.
Keep valve parts away from each other when
valve is not in use to reduce nicks from hitting
each other
Do not let valve come in contact with non
-
stainless steel parts
Nicks inside the valve will cause leaking, use a
fine file to remove nicks from plug.
Never use steel wool on valve or put it into
cleaning tank with iron or steel material
Place valve in wash sink carefully and away
from other parts to prevent scratching and
dents
Do not interchange plug parts. Each valve and
plug are mated during the manufacturing
process
Keep valve parts away from any steel or iron
material
Never open or close a valve without first
loosening the bottom nut
Inspect valve plug before placing back into
valve body for nicks or scratches
Never open valve by hammering it as this will
decrease its service life
If a valve is
leaking
look for the cause which is
usually improper
installation.
Never tighten the bottom nut too tightly.
Excess tightening will not cause a leaking valve
to stop leaking.

Leak Detection Valve
Each Valve Purchase includes a 2” PMO Leak Detect Valve, a Plastic Gasket,
and a Tube of Food Grade Petrol Gel.
Installing the Valve
1. Apply Petrol Lube to the
gasket and stick it to the base
of tank.
2. Apply generously to the front
of gasket and back of valve.
3. Apply Lube inside the guts of
the valve.
4. Test the valve.
5. If there is a leak apply lube to
leaking area.

The element needs to be wired to single phase 220v. It should be positioned in the
tank angled to the center making sure it does not interfere with the agitator shaft
or CIP spray balls.
The Rheostat control allows you to
adjust the amount of electrical
current running to the heating
element and control the heat of the
air space. The Rheostat needs to be
installed by a licensed electrician.
The Air Space Heater fits into a 3”
sanitary ferrule and element is self
supporting. The top agitation blade
helps move the air in the head space.
