Customized process plants for plant-based beverages

Efficiently scale your production of plant-based beverages with modular process plants that offer precise simulation of industrial-scale conditions, ensuring consistent quality and reproducibility.

Simulates Industrial-Scale Aseptic Processing

The HT220DSI UHT Direct Steam Injection Pilot Plant from OMVE offers an exceptional solution for R&D departments and food manufacturers looking to develop and refine plant-based beverages and dairy alternatives. This system employs a direct steam injection method coupled with a high-pressure homogenizer for precise pasteurization and sterilization. Ideal for producing oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, and more, it maintains product integrity while ensuring sterilization and aseptic filling. Handling capacities up to 1000L, it supports various configurations to suit specialized processes, including varying holding times. The fully automated system seamlessly integrates into existing setups, featuring PLC control for optimal production efficiency and remote monitoring. Designed with stainless steel materials, it ensures reliability and durability while meeting industry standards. Equipped with cleaning-in-place (CIP) and sterilizing-in-place (SIP) capabilities, it facilitates easy maintenance without contamination risk. OMVE also provides extensive customization to meet specific production needs.
