Multipurpose ultra high temperature (uht) pilot plants
Optimize liquid food production with a versatile pilot unit designed for ultra-high temperature applications, ensuring product quality and consistency while facilitating rapid prototyping and scale-up.

Processes Liquid Foods and Beverages Efficiently
The Multipurpose Ultra High Temperature (UHT) Pilot Plant (SPP) is designed for beverage and food processing by offering flexible heat treatment options. Using up to five heating systems—plate, tubular, injection, infusion, and SSHE—it allows versatile processing for products like UHT milk, plant-based drinks, and fruit juices. With pilot operation capability, it ensures effective testing before scaling to commercial production. The compact, pre-assembled unit offers easy installation and operator-friendly controls, featuring factory-tested components for reliability. Its integration into R&D and processing departments is seamless, facilitating quick transitions from trial to production, optimizing resources, and reducing energy consumption. It’s ideal for dairy, beverage, and plant-based product manufacturers seeking efficient development solutions.
