Indirect Uht treatment for dairy products
In the dairy industry, ensuring product safety and extending shelf life without refrigeration is a constant challenge. Ultra-high temperature (UHT) processing under aseptic conditions is often required to achieve these goals.
Efficiently process dairy with indirect Uht
The Tetra Pak Indirect UHT unit DE is a specialized processing unit designed for highly efficient, continuous ultra-high temperature treatment of dairy and low acid products. This unit utilizes a tubular or plate heat exchanger for indirect heating, ensuring products can be stored at ambient temperatures. Its aseptic design, combined with product-to-product regeneration, significantly reduces steam and cooling medium requirements. The unit’s fouling control features extend operational time, making it cost-effective by running up to 40 hours with good quality white milk. Additionally, the bottom-filling balance tank minimizes product losses during changes, saving up to 75 liters of milk. The IntelliCIP™ 2.0 technology optimizes cleaning processes, while the automatic damper and hibernation features enhance operational efficiency. These characteristics make the Tetra Pak Indirect UHT unit DE ideal for various dairy products, including milk, flavored milk, cream, and yogurt drinks, as well as other low acid products such as soy milk and juice. The unit operates with a capacity range from 1,000 to 40,000 liters per hour.
