Tubular Uht processing for dairy products

Experience efficient high-pressure thermal processing with tubular UHT technology for diverse dairy and beverage applications, ensuring consistent product quality and extended shelf life for heat-sensitive liquids.

Processes Liquid Dairy and Beverage Products

The Tubular Ultra High Temperature (UHT) Plant from APV is designed to provide flexible handling and superior thermal processing for a diverse range of liquid dairy and beverage products. It utilizes a tubular heat exchanger system that ensures efficient heat transfer and back pressure tolerance up to 870 psi (60 bar), offering remarkable performance in high-pressure environments. With approximately 85% heat regeneration, this equipment minimizes energy consumption, reducing operational costs for processors.

Ideal for applications like milk, flavored milk, and coffee creamers, the plant supports production of end products such as whole milk, strawberry milk, and iced latte beverages. It operates continuously and integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, thanks to its pre-assembled, factory-tested design. The plant’s operator-friendly setup, along with its easy inspection features, reduces maintenance requirements and enhances uptime.

Constructed with material options that ensure corrosion resistance, the Tubular UHT Plant complies with ASME, PMO, and 3-A standards, ensuring safety and reliability in food-grade environments. Customization options are available, providing engineering support for specific production needs.
