100 LPH APV Pilot UHT Plant with Plate Heat Exchanger, Direct Steam Injection & Twin 2-Stage Homogenisers

Description

This used APV Pilot UHT Plant is a rare opportunity to acquire a high-quality, skid-mounted Ultra High Temperature (UHT) processing system from one of the world's leading multinational manufacturers of health and nutritional beverages. Designed for pilot-scale production, product development and small batch commercial processing, this plant has been well maintained, very lightly used, and remains in excellent condition. The complete system is mounted on a single skid for straightforward installation and includes two APV 2-stage high-pressure homogenisers, a plate heat exchanger, direct steam injection (DSI), steam flash vessel with integrated vacuum system, and a fully integrated electrical control panel.

Ideal for processing dairy products, nutritional beverages, plant-based drinks, liquid foods, protein beverages, infant nutrition, pharmaceutical liquids and other heat-treated products requiring precise UHT processing.
