Direct steam infusion for high spore kill rate in sensitive food products
Achieve rapid, efficient sterilization and minimal product degradation with direct steam infusion, ideal for processing sensitive food and beverage formulations.
Heats, Cools, and Sterilizes Liquid Products
The HT324 Direct Steam Infusion & DSI System from OMVE is specifically engineered for those in the dairy, beverage, and food processing industries seeking robust solutions for heat treatment and sterilization of liquid products. This system combines Direct Steam Infusion and Steam Injection technologies, allowing for rapid heating and cooling profiles which preserve product quality by minimizing thermal degradation and achieving high spore kill rates. With nominal capacities of 100 or 200L/hr, the HT324 offers PLC-controlled operations, ensuring high levels of automation and process control. It’s designed for in-line and stand-alone operations, making it versatile for different production settings. Unique features include a 20-bar flash tank pump outlet pressure and a 0.2 bar(a) vacuum in the flash tank for maximum cooling efficiency. Additionally, the system integrates seamlessly with existing UHT pilot plants and includes automatic CIP/SIP systems for effective cleaning. Compliance with industry standards ensures reliable operation across a range of applications, from milk and yogurt to nutraceutical drinks and plant-based beverages.
