Holding Tubes

Holding tubes provide a fixed volume of tubing to "hold" a product for a set period of time 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 makes sure your system meets industry requirements. In order for that to happen, we make certain to address all critical points.
