GEA Liquid Processing (a.k.a. Tuchenhagen Dairy Systems and GEA Ahlborn) markets three different types of UHT Plants - depending on the product to be treated, the product quality and efficiency.

UHT Plant, Type I

The UHT Plant type I range work according to the indirect heating principle which enables high production safety. This process technology has proved successful for many years. The UHT Plants have optimized flow conditions which produce good product quality and energy efficiency with a heat recovery up to 90%.

UHT Plant, Type P

The UHT Plant type P range is similar to the indirect UHT Plant Type I, and is basically based on the same process technology. The only difference is that the tubular heat exchanger type P is employed 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 energy efficiency and improved product quality without the need of expanding the heat exchange surface.

UHT Plant, Type D

The UHT Plant type D range features the direct heating method which enables a very high product quality. The integral steam injector and a flash cooler provide very short dwelling times in the temperature intensive zones.

GEA Liquid Processing also supplies pilot UHT plants. They are available with both plate heat exchangers and tubular heat exchangers and can be delivered with any level of controls and automation. They are typically installed in the following industrial areas:

  • Dairies
  • Beverage plants and liquid food industries
  • Suppliers of food ingredients and nutraceuticals
  • Universities, technical schools and scientific centers

The results obtained by the GEA Liquid Processing UHT pilot plants are reliable and can be easily scaled to industrial size UHT systems.
