Modular Miniature Scale HTST/UHT Process System

A modular HTST/UHT processing system designed to treat products at flow rates of 10-60 l/h. Interchangeable modules for direct heating (steam injection) or indirect heating (using tubular, plate or scraped surface heat exchangers), aseptic processing, upstream or downstream homogenisation and additional chilling are available.
