Características
Direct steam in the final heater
Smart base for longer runs at lower costs
The streamlined Tetra Pak® Indirect UHT unit uses direct steam in the shell side of the final heater, which enables production run times of up to 8 hours. The steam pressure is accurately controlled to prevent product burning. For run times of up to 16 hours, an optimized set-up with a temperature-controlled, protein-denaturation holding tube and hot water circuit option is available.
Product-to-product regeneration
Optimized steam consumption
Low-loss balance tank
Minimizes product loss
A smart balance tank configuration makes it possible to remove the maximum amount of water before product enters the tank, thus reducing the mix of water and product. This method lowers the number of litres in the mix phase by over 50%, leading to a significant reduction in product losses.
Closed pre-sterilization loop
Better value with reduced energy consumption
During pre-sterilization, hot water is circulated in the module. By directing the hot water over the pressurized side as a closed loop, you eliminate the need for cooling in the return line. This shortens start-up time and reduces utility consumption.
Heat exchanger protective panels
Great energy savings potential
Protective panels built around the Tetra Pak® Tubular Heat Exchanger encapsulate the equipment and contain the heat. This gives up to 6% savings on energy consumption compared to heat exchangers without panels. With added insulation, savings can increase to 11%. The panels also increase operator safety since they reduce the risk of contact with hot surfaces.
Heat exchanger floating protection system
Longer lifetime and exceptional efficiency
Aseptic product in the inner tubes of the Tetra Pak® Tubular Heat Exchanger flows at a higher pressure than the untreated product on the shell side. A floating protection system allows for thermal expansion, greatly reducing the risk of damage from cracking, and consequent loss of sterility. In addition to extending lifetime, this improves food safety.
