Uht plant for aseptic product treatment
Ensure optimal product quality and production safety with versatile UHT solutions for aseptic treatments, providing up to 90% heat recovery while accommodating diverse liquid formulations, enhancing efficiency in continuous operations.

Processes Aseptic Liquids via UHT Treatment
The UHT Plant Solutions from GEA are designed to provide efficient aseptic liquid processing for a variety of demanding applications. These plants utilize both direct and indirect heating methods, offering flexibility for different product requirements. The UHT Plant, Type I, uses indirect heating with optimized flow for a high energy recovery of up to 90%, making it ideal for UHT milk, cream, and flavored milk drinks. The Type P model features a tubular heat exchanger that enhances efficiency and product quality without additional heat exchange surfaces, perfect for soups and sauces. For high-quality end products like liquid nutritional beverages and egg-based items, the Type D plant incorporates direct heating through steam injection and a flash cooler, minimizing thermal impact. All models support continuous, automated operations with advanced PLC integration for seamless production line integration and efficient process monitoring. Built with durable materials to ensure longevity, these plants are available with CIP systems for easy maintenance, contributing to sustained, contamination-free production. With GEA’s engineering support and the possibility for customization, these plants meet industry standards and are adaptable to specific customer needs for processing capacity and compliance requirements.
