For a more flexible future
- UHT technology

Ultra-heat treatment – UHT – maximises the destruction of microorganisms in dairy products and dairy alternatives. This flexible and cost-efficient technology enables innovative product portfolios, a reduced carbon footprint and, in combination with aseptic packaging, long product shelf life.

Expanding dairy with value added

Functional dairy beverages such as lactose-free and enriched milk can function as a shortcut to increased wellbeing. And to produce drinks that help boost immunity, relieve stress or improve digestive health, no technology is more suitable than UHT.

Pant based drinks

Moving into plant-based?

The plant-based product category is becoming increasingly popular around the world – and is expected to grow by double digits over the coming years. Here’s a few pointers to producers looking into plant-based beverages.

Flexibility

Take the flexibility route to success

On an ever-changing market, flexibility is key. To stay relevant to consumers, producers need to be able to move fast, try out new recipes and produce small batches in a cost-efficient way. And with a UHT line in place, expanding a product portfolio may actually be much easier and more straightforward than you think.
Precision aseptic dosing opens new frontiers

Flexible, efficient and precise

Protein-enriched, lactose-free and plant-based drinks – over the coming years, products offering something extra will become increasingly popular. However, expensive ingredients such as lactase and flavours are often heat-sensitive. That’s why our aseptic dosing technologies provide accurate dosing after heat treatment instead of before it.

School milk – 403 million gallons of opportunities

Making sure kids in US schools get their daily glass of milk has its challenges – distribution is complex and once the milk is delivered, it needs to be consumed within a couple of days. If it isn’t, it becomes food waste. In fact, as much as 30% of US school milk is never used. And as schools use 403,000,000 gallons of milk annually, it’s a lot of milk that goes to waste. But that’s chilled milk.
Check out this listicle to learn more about why UHT milk is a great, cost-efficient and more environmentally friendly choice for schools.
