Tetra Pak® UHT treatment
Tetra Pak® Direct UHT unit
The Tetra Pak® Direct UHT unit is the latest generation of aseptic direct UHT technology from Tetra Pak®, built for premium UHT products. Direct heating puts only a minimal heat load on the product, so quality, nutritional value and taste are preserved, and with more than 100 options the direct UHT unit can be tailored to a wide product portfolio.
Minimal heat load that preserves product quality, nutritional value and taste
Flexible: switch between direct, Plus and indirect heating in one unit
Up to 37% less chemicals and 48% less product loss than Tetra Therm® Aseptic VTIS
In steam injection, a ring-nozzle injector heats the product from around 80 °C to UHT temperature; heating and cooling happen almost instantly. Steam infusion heats the product in a steam atmosphere with less shear, which suits shear-sensitive products such as whipped cream stabilized with starch or carrageenan. A separate condenser for flash cooling runs with outlet water of up to 72 °C, so no ice water is needed. A floating protection system lets the tubes of the Tetra Pak® Tubular Heat Exchanger expand freely, and the low-loss balance tank with electronic level control and a frequency-controlled product pump reduces the mixing phase.
Applications: Premium and added-value UHT products, including plant-based drinks and shear-sensitive products such as stabilized whipped cream.
Capacity: A range of capacities, with the largest unit reaching 45,000 l/h.
Options: Steam injection, steam infusion or both; combined heating in direct UHT, Plus (direct and indirect) and indirect mode; more than 100 options in total, with upgrades available later.
