Indirect Uht treatment unit for viscous food products

Ensure uniform heat treatment and consistent product quality in your viscous food processing with this continuous, gentle UHT solution, designed to maintain product integrity while enabling flexible recipe management.

Processes Viscous Products with Gentle UHT Treatment

The Tetra Pak® Indirect UHT Unit PFF with Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger is engineered to elevate the production of viscous and sensitive food and beverage products. This equipment ensures a continuous and gentle Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) treatment, addressing the specific needs of producers seeking to maintain product integrity and quality. Using a scraped surface heat exchanger, it prevents fouling and ensures uniform heat transfer by keeping the product constantly in motion, crucial for applications like rice puddings, mousses, and fruit preparations.

Capable of processing a range of liquid and slurry products, this unit supports a capacity of 1,000 – 1,500 liters per hour, with customization available to meet your specific throughput requirements. Its advanced inline blending and recipe handling features allow precise control over texture and composition, eliminating human error in cooking and filling stages. Designed for integration, the unit offers an automation system compatible with various control platforms, ensuring seamless operation within your existing production line.

For those focusing on efficiency, the built-in scrapers and the tangential inlet reduce energy consumption and minimize the need for manual intervention, while the integrated rotor lift simplifies maintenance and inspection processes. Constructed with durable materials, this unit is built to withstand demanding industrial environments, offering longevity and consistent performance for food products demanding high-quality standards.
