Ultra-high temperature pasteurization (UHT) involves heating milk in a continuous
but closed process to temperatures exceeding 135°C for a few seconds, followed by rapid cooling and aseptic packaging into sterile containers.
The setup contains four main components:
- A heat exchanger.
- A milk-holding tube.
- An aseptic packaging machine.
- The control and monitoring system.
Essential dairy equipment in the UHT milk processing line:
- Raw milk purification: Options include filter purification or centrifugal purification.
- Pre-pasteurization of raw milk: Essential for thorough sterilization.
- Milk cooling and storage tanks: Necessary for continuous processing.
- Milk homogenizer: Uniform distribution of milk fat globules to achieve quality milk for packaging.
- UHT milk sterilizer: Heat milk to over 135°C in a few seconds and cool it immediately for sterility.
- Aseptic balance tank: Holds the sterilized milk during aseptic packaging.
- UHT milk filling machine | Aseptic packaging machine: For long-life milk status, Sterilizes packaging material to eliminate contamination for long-life milk.
