Description:
UHT milk processing line refers to the equipment used in the production of UHT (Ultra High Temperature) milk. UHT milk is a type of milk that has been pasteurized at a very high temperature for a short period of time, typically around 135-150°C for 2-5 seconds. This process kills harmful bacteria and extends the shelf life of the milk without the need for refrigeration.
A UHT milk processing line typically includes the following steps:
-
Raw milk reception: The raw milk is received and tested for quality and safety.
-
Pre-treatment: The milk is preheated to remove any impurities and to standardize the fat content.
-
Homogenization: The milk is passed through a homogenizer to break down the fat globules and create a uniform texture.
-
Heat treatment: The milk is heated to a very high temperature (usually through indirect heating methods like plate heat exchangers) for a very short time to kill any harmful bacteria and extend the shelf life.
-
Cooling: The milk is rapidly cooled after the heat treatment to bring it to a safe temperature.
-
Aseptic packaging: The milk is packaged in aseptic containers, such as cartons or bottles, to maintain its sterility and extend its shelf life.
-
Quality control: The packaged milk is tested for quality, safety, and shelf stability before being released for distribution.
UHT milk processing lines are typically highly automated and require advanced technology and expertise to ensure the quality and safety of the final product. They are commonly used in large-scale dairy processing facilities.
UHT milk process: milk transporting tank or vessels, milk filter and collection tank; cooling and storaging tank(milk chilly tank), Mixing/Blending and milk standardization, cream separation, UHT sterilizer(tubular type or plate type) homogenization, degassing, and filling.
Shanghai beyond machinery co., ltd. is specialized in supplying various kinds of milk processing line, including the pasteurized milk, UHT milk, flavored milk, yoghurt, cheese and butter, cream, condensed milk etc.
Shanghai Beyond can supply complete turnkey projects for customers, integrating with designing, equipment manufacturing, to installation and commissioning and also training the operators.
Features and advantages:
1. Efficient production: The processing capacity can range from 2T/day to 1000T/day. The UHT milk processing line adopts advanced production processes and equipment, which can achieve large-scale production in a short period of time. It has highly automated functions, with PLC controlling the entire production line, saving labor and facilitating production management.
2. Long term storage: UHT milk is stored through ultra-high temperature treatment, so it can be stored for a long time at room temperature without the need for refrigeration. This makes UHT milk a very convenient and economical choice, especially for areas without perishable storage conditions.
3. High quality products: High standard design, manufacturing, and engineering installation requirements ensure first-class quality of finished products in dairy processing lines. UHT milk, after high-temperature treatment, can effectively kill bacteria and microorganisms, thereby extending the shelf life of the product. This means that consumers can enjoy fresh, hygienic, and high-quality milk products.
4. International certification: UHT milk processing lines usually comply with international food safety and quality standards, such as ISO 9001 and HACCP certification. These certifications can increase consumer trust in products and make them more competitive in domestic and international markets.
5. Diversified products: UHT milk processing line can produce various milk products with different flavors and additives, such as chocolate milk, strawberry milk, and vitamin fortified milk. This diverse choice can meet the needs and taste preferences of different consumers.
6. Environmental sustainability: The UHT milk processing line reduces energy consumption and wastewater discharge during the production process. Fully automatic CIP cleaning ensures that the entire production line equipment meets food hygiene and safety requirements. The UHT milk processing line is more environmentally friendly and sustainable, meeting the requirements of modern society for sustainable development and environmental protection.
