Uht sterilizer for dairy and high-viscosity products

Optimize your production of dairy alternatives and fruit-based drinks with an advanced UHT sterilization system that ensures effective thermal treatment while minimizing energy costs through innovative heat recovery and homogenization. Ideal for continuous, small-scale operations, it enhances product quality and extends shelf life.

Processes and Sterilizes Dairy and Beverage Products

The Sterideal® HX SteriCompact UHT Sterilizer from SF&DS is designed to enhance the production capabilities of dairy producers, juice manufacturers, and food processors. Its unique helical configuration of concentric tubes ensures effective thermal processing, which is crucial for pasteurizing and sterilizing liquids and higher viscosity products like tomato sauces and desserts. Operating efficiently within a capacity range of 2000-4000 L/hr, the SteriCompact provides robust homogenization and low maintenance, which reduce your operational costs over the equipment’s lifespan. Its compact design minimizes floorspace requirements, making it ideal for plants focused on efficiency and optimization. Additionally, the equipment’s energy-saving coil design ensures cost-effective operation without compromising product quality, optimizing energy use through efficient heat recovery. As a key component in continuous and small-scale operations, the SteriCompact integrates seamlessly with upstream and downstream processes, offering scalable options to meet diverse production needs.
