Ultra high temperature treatment for small-scale production
Achieve extended shelf life and uniform product quality with precision-engineered ultra-high temperature processing, ideal for cost-effective pilot and small-scale operations across liquid and slurry products.
Processes and Sterilizes Small-Scale Liquid Products
The UHT LAB Unit from Limitech is designed for small-scale, high-temperature processing, delivering precise ultra-high temperature treatment via direct steam injection. This versatile machine is capable of heating a wide range of liquid and slurry products to 150°C, ensuring extended shelf life by inactivating bacteria and sporogenous organisms. Ideal for applications across food, dairy, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries, it efficiently processes end-products like shelf-stable cream cheese, UHT milk, and nourishing creams at 30-130 kg/h. Its PLC-controlled system facilitates easy operation and ensures consistency and reliability, while integrated CIP capabilities support hygienic, contamination-free cleaning. Constructed from AISI 316 stainless steel where it contacts products, the UHT LAB Unit is both robust and easy to maintain, with optional features to meet various process challenges.
