Ultra high temperature (uht) direct heating for infusion Esl plant

Achieve extended shelf life and superior flavor with fast, gentle infusion, ensuring your dairy and beverage products maintain optimal freshness while reducing bacteria spore levels.

Processes and Pasteurizes Liquid Products Efficiently

The Infusion ESL Plant with Ultra High Temperature Direct Heating from SPX FLOW offers a cutting-edge solution for the dairy and beverage processing industries. Utilizing direct heating technology, this system efficiently pasteurizes and extends the shelf life of liquid products by rapidly increasing temperatures to 1112°F (600°C) per second, with precise control ensuring minimal chemical change and optimal flavor retention.

Ideal for applications ranging from whole and skim milk to flavored creamers and milkshakes, the plant supports continuous, high-speed operations, significantly reducing bacterial spore presence while preserving the nutritional and sensory qualities of your products. The pre-assembled unit is designed with operator-friendly features, enabling ease of integration into existing production lines and reducing industrial downtime between Clean-In-Place (CIP) cycles.

With compliance options designed according to ASME, PMO, and 3-A standards, and the flexibility to handle various dairy and plant-based liquids, this equipment is engineered for durability and efficiency. Its pre-testing at the factory level further assures seamless startup and operation. Optional configurations and customizations are available to meet specific processing needs and plant environments.
