Case Studies > Infant Feed Pasteuriser  
Overview 
A leading UK hospital equipment supplier approached TES 
with their innovative idea of producing a pasteuriser for Donor Human Milk and Special Diets. 
 
Neonatal Intensive Care Units provide Donor Breast Milk for premature infants if the mother cannot provide milk due to late onset of lactation or for other health reasons. 
 
To effectively pasteurise human donor milk precise controlled heating and refrigerated cooling are required to ensure harmful pathogens are eliminated. 
 
The Solution 
Together with the client, TES designed the S90 Infant Feed Pasteuriser which over the years has been installed in Children’s Hospitals, Special Care Units and Central Milk Banks throughout the UK, Europe and world-wide.  
 
Outcome 
TES has established a long term relationship with its client and has been manufacturing all their baby milk pasteurisers for the past 14 years. 
 
Technical Details  
Holder Pasteurisation is the established method of treating feeds including mother's milk, formulae feeds and special diets, to give a quality controlled feed, preserving full nutritional values with extended shelf life.  
 
Pasteurisation for mother's milk facilitates the retention of immunological factors otherwise destroyed by high temperature treatments and is also known to eliminate the HIV (AIDS) virus.
