Direct Uht processing for heat-sensitive liquid products
Achieve optimal taste and nutritional value in liquid foods through precise ultra-high temperature treatment, minimizing heat impact and ensuring long shelf life without compromising quality.
Performs Aseptic UHT Treatment for Liquid Products
The Tetra Therm® Aseptic VTIS from Tetra Pak offers specialized aseptic UHT treatment for diverse liquid products. This unit utilizes direct steam injection to swiftly heat and sterilize dairy and plant-based items, preserving their quality while extending shelf life. Designed for continuous aseptic operations, it handles capacities from 2,000 to 30,000 liters per hour. With applications in UHT milk, lactose-free soy, and smooth soups, it suits various industries including food, dairy, and plant-based products. The system integrates seamlessly into production lines, featuring PLC control and a built-in CIP system for efficient cleaning. Its energy-efficient design includes heat exchanger protective panels, offering up to 11% energy savings. Modular configurations and engineering support enable extensive customization to meet unique manufacturing needs.
