Direct steam infusion for high spore kill rate in sensitive food products
When processing sensitive food products, achieving a high spore kill rate while avoiding degradation is essential. Utilizing traditional heat treatment methods may not provide the necessary rapid heating and cooling profiles to maintain product integrity.
Ensures rapid heating and cooling with minimal degradation
The HT324 Direct Steam Infusion & DSI System by OMVE is an advanced heat treatment technology designed for food products requiring high spore kill rates and reduced product degradation. This system combines Steam Infusion and Steam Injection technologies, allowing for fast heating and cooling to minimize thermal impact. It features a vacuum-cooled flash tank, ensuring efficient cooling post heat treatment. The system can operate as a standalone unit or be integrated with the HT320 system for comprehensive control. With a nominal capacity of 100 or 200 liters per hour, the HT324 is suitable for various food industries, including dairy, soups & sauces, plant-based products, and more. The system’s hygienic design facilitates effective cleaning, complemented by automatic CIP/SIP processes and a high level of automation and control. Key performance aspects include a flash tank pump outlet pressure of 20 bar and a vacuum of 0.2 bar(a) for optimal cooling.
