The Very Freshest Tastes, Fast and Affordable: Get the Right UHT Solution for your Processing Needs
With over 50 years of experience in ultra-high temperature (UHT) processing, SPX® FLOW offers a wide range of processing solutions to match application needs. These include direct heating systems, such as steam injection and Ãâ·Ñ³Ô¹Ï’s unique, advanced steam infusion UHT plants, along with indirect solutions such as tubular heat exchangers. All are carefully engineered, and the choice of the technology depends on business goals and desired final product characteristics.
The Freshest Tastes
Ãâ·Ñ³Ô¹Ï Infusion UHT plants use gentle processes, providing rapid heating and cooling with highly accurate holding times to produce premium quality products with extended shelf life (ESL) and superior, fresh tastes. A highly flexible solution, the system can be used across a wide range of products and viscosities.
Why are SPX Infusion UHT plants unique?
Ãâ·Ñ³Ô¹Ï Infusion plants produce high quality results using a patented design, which includes a lobe style pump with precise holding times that are extremely accurate and can be varied to meet application needs. The InfusionPlusâ„¢ process can heat product incredibly fast, reaching 157°C and ensures a holding time in as little as 0.09 seconds. This preserves the natural characteristics of the product producing a ‘fresh’ pasteurized milk flavor.
For products with higher viscosities, the patented Instant Infusion plant is specifically designed for the efficient treatment of high fouling products with up to 58% total solids. With holding times between 0.5 and 0.09 seconds, this system also offers high precision and preserves the natural characteristics of the product. Indeed, in some applications, it has been shown to produce 70% less vitamin loss compared with other technologies.
