Tuchenhagen Dairy Systems markets three different types of UHT Plants - depending on the product to be treated, the product quality and efficiency.

These product treatment plants work according to the indirect heating principle. Their great benefit: Using this method, the UHT Plant Type I provides a very high production safety. This process technology has proved successful for many years. The UHT Plants have optimised flow conditions which produce good product quality and high efficiency with a heat recovery up to 90%.

Similar to the indirect UHT Plant Type I, the UHT Plant Type P is widely based on identical process technology.
The difference is that the tubular heat exchanger type P is used here – indirect heat transfer between the product to be heated and that to be cooled is not applied. The advantage is that this plant type achieves an even higher efficiency and improved product quality without the need of expanding the heat exchange surface.

The direct heating method used in these UHT Plants offers the advantage of a very high product quality. The integral steam injector and a flash cooler provide very short dwelling times in the temperature intensive zones.

UHT pilot plant, type L

The UHT pilot plant type L is a compact unit which allows for easy transport to the desired location of use. This model uses also tubular heat exchangers. Both UHT methods, the indirect and the direct heating principles can be applied.
