Uht system for aseptic filling of beverages
Ensure microbiological safety and retain natural flavors in your liquid products with a system designed for precise thermal treatment and aseptic filling.
Processes and Treats Liquids for Aseptic Filling
The VarioAsept J UHT System from Krones is engineered to optimize aseptic liquid processing with precision and efficiency. This system combines sophisticated heating, deaeration, and homogenization processes to ensure consistent product quality across diverse applications, including juices, soft drinks, teas, and dairy products. Featuring a modular design with tubular or plate heat exchangers, it facilitates precise temperature control and minimal thermal impact, critical for maintaining the integrity of sensitive liquids. It’s equipped with a vacuum-sealed VarioStore tank system and an integrated valve manifold, offering fully aseptic operations up to 6 bar. The unique swirl infeed nozzle within the Krones VarioSpin product deaerator ensures rapid removal of gas bubbles, reducing oxidative stress and preserving product quality. Designed for continuous, automated high-speed operations, its robust energy supply and advanced control systems, including MCC and Krones HMI, allow seamless integration into existing production lines. The system supports long production runs with aseptic intermediate cleaning and rapid product change-overs, enhancing flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the VarioAsept J is engineered for easy cleaning and maintenance, promoting operational efficiency and reliability in demanding food and beverage manufacturing environments.
