Complete UHT milk processing plant with aseptic brick carton filling machine

Model Number: JM-1-21 Brand Name: Jimei Key Specifications/Special Features: Description:With a product that can be stored for long periods without spoiling and with no need for refrigeration, there are many advantages for both the producer, the retailer and the consumerThis includes expensive products such as cream, desserts and saucesIn a modern UHT plant (ultra high temperature) the milk is pumped through a closed systemOn the way it is preheated, highly heat treated, homogenized, ultra highly heat treated, cooled and packed asepticallyLow acid (pH above 4.5 - for milk more than pH 6.5) liquid products are usually treated at 135 - 150°C for a few seconds holding, by either indirect heating or direct steam injection or infusionHigh acid (pH below 4.5) products such as juice are normally heated at 90 - 95°C for 15 - 30 seconds holdingAll parts of the system downstream of the actual highly heating section are of aseptic design to eliminate the risk of reinfection, include aseptic packaging in packages protecting the product against light and atmospheric oxygenAmbient storage is normalVarious UHT systems:
There are two main types of UHT systems on the market
- In the direct systems the product comes in direct contact with the heating medium, followed by flash cooling in a vacuum vessel and eventually further indirect cooling to packaging temperature, the direct systems are divided into:
Steam injection systems (steam injected into product)
Steam infusion systems (product introduced into a steam-filled vessel)
- In the indirect systems the heat is transferred from the heating media to the product through a partition (plate or tubular wall), the indirect systems can be based on:
Plate heat exchangers
Tubular heat exchangers
Scraped surface heat exchangers
Furthermore it is possible to combine the heat exchangers in the direct systems according to product and process requirements

The figure below is an indirect system - tubular UHT plant as an example
