Ultra-high temperature processor for premium liquid foods
In the food processing industry, preserving the nutritional value and taste of liquid food products while ensuring a long shelf life without refrigeration is a significant challenge. Achieving commercial sterility with minimal heat load is crucial to maintain product quality.
Preserve quality with flexible Uht processing
The Tetra Pak® Direct UHT unit is an advanced ultra-high temperature processing system designed for premium liquid food products, including dairy, plant-based drinks, and other beverages. This unit employs state-of-the-art direct steam injection and infusion techniques to achieve commercial sterility. Steam injection rapidly heats the product with minimal impact on its nutritional value and taste, while steam infusion minimizes shear forces, making it ideal for shear-sensitive products. The system features a separate condenser that operates at higher temperature levels, eliminating the need for ice water and reducing energy costs. It also offers combined heating solutions with up to three different modes (Direct UHT, Plus mode, and Indirect mode) for flexibility in processing different products. Tetra Pak Netherlands supplies this highly customizable unit, which can handle capacities up to 45,000 liters per hour.
