We offer three different types of UHT Plants for Aseptic Product Treatment
GEA markets three different types of UHT Plant - depending on the product to be treated, the product quality and efficiency:
These product treatment plant work according to the indirect heating principle. Their great benefit: Using this method, the UHT Plant Type I provides very high production safety. This process technology has proved successful for many years. The UHT Plant have optimized flow conditions which produce good product quality and high efficiency with a heat recovery of up to 90%.
Similar to the indirect UHT Plant Type I, the UHT Plant Type P is widely based on identical process technology.
The difference is that the tubular heat exchanger type P is used here – indirect heat transfer between the product to be heated and that to be cooled is not applied. The advantage is that this plant type achieves an even higher efficiency and improved product quality without the need to expand the heat exchange surface.
The direct heating method used in these UHT Plant offers the advantage of very high product quality. The integral steam injector and a flash cooler provide very short dwelling times in the temperature intensive zones.
Climate change and a growing world population put increased pressure on the energy-intensive food industry to feed more people without further impacting the planet. George Shepherd, GEA’s Global Technical Sustainability Manager, explains how GEA uses its engineering know-how to help processors produce more sustainably yet increase productivity.
The world's population is growing and with it demand for milk. Dairy is an essential component of many global diets. However, its production can be resource-intensive and impact the environment. GEA’s Christian Müller, Senior Director Sustainability Farm Technologies, sheds light on how technological innovations powered by GEA make milk production more efficient and profitable.
Every safe beverage and bite of food is a victory against invisible microbial threats – a battle shaped by a century of hygienic process design. With more than 100 years of engineering and hygienic design know-how, GEA sets the industry standard for processing equipment that protects food and saves lives.
