Tubular ultra high temperature processing system for dairy products
Optimize your dairy processing with precise thermal treatments, tailoring your low-fat and protein-enriched products by leveraging advanced microparticulation and stabilization technology for consistent quality and enhanced taste.

Processes Liquid and Powder Dairy and Beverage Products
The Tubular Ultra High Temperature UHT Express System from SPX FLOW is engineered for seamless integration into dairy and beverage production lines. This system harnesses the efficiency of tubular technology to deliver consistent thermal processing, crucial for maintaining the quality and safety of low-fat and protein-enriched products. By implementing precise heat denaturation and microparticulation, it enables the production of diverse end-products such as low-fat cheese and plant-based milk with enhanced nutritional value.
Operating at a capacity range from 500 to 3,000 liters per hour, the UHT Express System offers robust performance tailored to specific production requirements. The system’s modular design facilitates easy integration into existing setups, and it’s fully automated for optimized process control and monitoring.
Notably, the system’s energy-efficient operations are achieved through advanced heat management and minimized fouling risks, supported by Cavitator technology for a smooth, scale-free heating process. Available in durable stainless steel construction, it ensures corrosion resistance and longevity.
Compliance with industry standards is ensured, meeting stringent requirements for dairy and beverage applications. The system’s design incorporates Clean-in-Place (CIP) capabilities, allowing for efficient, contamination-free maintenance. SPX FLOW provides extensive customization options and engineering support, ensuring the UHT Express System meets the unique demands of your production environment.
