Indirect UHT pilot heating plant for the validation of your
production -
a new development of GEA TDS
This newly designed indirect UHT pilot plant can reliably
support your product development. Depending on the viscosity of the product,
the plant is suitable for the heat treatment of liquid foodstuff at flow rates
between 500 and 1,000 l/h. The plant easily handles different media with a wide
range of viscosities from low to high.
You can use this plant for indirect heating, but also for cooling. A modular
design allows these processes to be implemented using plate heat exchangers or
tubular heat exchanges, or a combination of both types.
By comparing
various suitable cross-sectional areas in the tubes and plates reference data
can be obtained for subsequent production under real conditions. This means the
UHT pilot plant is, of course, suitable for full production!
Various
tubular heat exchanger versions are available – plain or corrugated inner tubes
can be used. Corrugation and the optimized product/media volume ratio reliably
increase thermal efficiency.
