Holding Tubes

Holding tubes provide a fixed volume of tubing to "hold" a product for a set period at a given flow rate. This is required for processes like pasteurization, sterilization, thermal deactivation, or tempering that require a dwell time at a given temperature.

With our outstanding welds, materials, and workmanship, CSI ensures your system meets industry and other regulatory requirements. We address all critical points to do so.
