Small test quantities, great benefit
Our modular pilot UHT plant is highly flexible and designed for small-scale aseptic processing, with a capacity of 50-500 l/h.
Our modular pilot UHT plant is highly flexible and designed for small-scale aseptic processing, with a capacity of 50-500 l/h. The system allows you to test and evaluate various UHT heating options and configurations for different product types. The combi system can be set up for indirect, product-to-product or direct infusion, or injection-type heat treatment. We’ve designed our pilot plant to give you the flexibility to evaluate your products and processes, experiment with new recipes, and gain insights into the best heat treatment options for scaling up to commercial production when working to scale up your process for commercial production.
GEA UHT Infusion uses rapid steam heating to reduce heat load compared to indirect methods, preserving proteins, nutrients, flavor, and color for a fresher, more nutritious product.
GEA direct UHT cuts heat load vs. indirect methods, preserving proteins, nutrients, color, and flavor for better nutrition and fresher taste.
GEA UHT Indirect ensures consistent, gentle heating for extended shelf life while maintaining product quality, stability, and energy-efficient performance.
GEA UHT systems with product-to-product exchangers use the product itself for heat transfer, boosting efficiency over traditional indirect heating methods.
