Pilot system for high-viscosity product processing

Efficiently handle high-viscosity or large particle products with this advanced thermal processing system, ideal for maintaining product integrity in complex heat treatment applications.

Processes High-Viscosity Products and Large Particles

The HT326 UHT/HTST Pilot from OMVE is engineered to meet the demands of processing high-viscosity products and fruit particles up to 7mm in size. Equipped with scraped surface heat exchangers (SSHE) and low shear pumps, it ensures gentle handling and precise heat treatment, ideal for applications in dairy, plant-based products, soups, sauces, and beverages. It processes up to 500L/h, integrating seamlessly into your production line with automated PLC control and both CIP and SIP capabilities, minimizing contamination risks and downtime. This versatile system supports a range of processes, including homogenizing, deaeration, sterilization, and pasteurization. Its construction in robust materials guarantees compatibility and compliance with food and beverage industry standards, providing reliable performance for R&D and pilot plant operations.
