Before filling, the blended product must be sterilized to ensure product safety and stability. Thermal sterilization is the most common method, and UHT (Ultra High Temperature) instantaneous sterilization is widely used in beverage and dairy production for its efficiency and reliability.
The UHT system rapidly heats the product to above 130°C for a few seconds, effectively eliminating microorganisms while preserving the product’s original flavor, color, and nutrients.
Different types of heat exchangers are available, including plate, tubular, and corrugated tube designs. For products with pulp, particulates, or high viscosity, a tubular heat exchanger is recommended to prevent blockage and provide higher pressure resistance. For clear juice and low-viscosity beverages, a plate heat exchanger offers efficient heat transfer.
