Description

Production capacity: 1,000 liters/hour (minimum)

The heat treatment of milk is carried out with pasteurization plants (pasteurizers), which are customized as this procedure varies according to the capacity (litres an hour, l/h) and the end use of the product (HTST fresh milk, ESL ultra-pasteurized milk, milk for cheese and milk for yoghurt). The homogenizer reduces and standardizes the particles of liquids to make them stable and to obtain flavour and consistency that is compliant with market requirements.

The sterilization and UHT treatment (Ultra High Temperature) plant was designed for milk to be kept off the cold chain and with long expiry dates. UHT is a high temperature milk treatment needed to neutralize the bacterial load. Like the pasteurizer, also this plant can be completed with a separator, degasser and homogenizer.

The pasteurizers and UHT plants can be made with a plate or tubular heat exchanger, depending on the features of the product and customers’ requirements.
