Technical Specifications & Performance DataThis Tetra Pak UHT System
Steritherm (model VTIS C-4) is a robust, second hand processing unit
designed to deliver consistent ultra-high temperature treatment for
beverage production and industrial packaging workflows. Engineered for
high reliability and easy integration with downstream filling and
bottling equipment, it provides stable thermal performance and
hygienic operation for modern beverage production lines.Manufacturer:
Tetra PakModel: VTIS C-4 SterithermManufacturing year: 2017Capacity:
5000 L/hMax process temperature (indicative): up to 148 °C (per
inspected pressure section)Included equipment: Alfa Laval SHL-20
homogenizer (250 bar), Alfa Laval H7-RC plate heat exchanger (198 L),
pump station with Alfa Laval LKH-10 and LKH-107, ABB drive, and CIP
regulatorDesign intent: Continuous UHT treatment with integrated
homogenization and plate heat exchangeConstruction: Hygienic stainless
steel process componentsAdvanced Automation & Control SystemsThe
system includes a computer control system for precise process
management, delivering stable timeâtemperature profiles and
consistent product quality. Automated supervision of key parameters
helps reduce product losses and optimizes energy usage. Interlocks and
instrumentation support safe operation throughout heating, holding,
and cooling stages.Centralized computer control for process sequencing
and alarmsIntegrated CIP regulator to streamline cleaning
proceduresProcess instrumentation for pressure, temperature, and flow
controlComponent-level CE marking on included Alfa Laval
equipmentProduction Line Integration CapabilitiesDesigned to fit
seamlessly into a used bottling line or new production layouts, this
UHT system interfaces smoothly with upstream raw product handling and
downstream filling and packaging machinery. It supports industrial
packaging workflows for PET and Glass bottling operations by supplying
thermally treated product to fillers.Inline compatibility with
fillers, buffer tanks, and conveyorsIdeal for beverage production
environments needing continuous 5000 L/h throughputFlexible process
connections for integration with existing piping and CIP loopsSuitable
for second hand upgrades or capacity expansionsMachine Condition &
Maintenance HistoryThis unit is presented as a ready-to-run, second
hand UHT system. Ancillary components show evidence of professional
upkeep, including a recent service marking on the Alfa Laval pump
(dated 04/24) and inspection records on pressure-rated
parts.Operational status: ready for operationInspection labeling
present on pressure sectionsService marking observed on included pump
componentOperational Performance & VersatilityEngineered for
consistent UHT processing, the lineâs Steritherm design supports
stable thermal treatment, homogenization for product consistency, and
efficient heat recovery via the plate heat exchanger. It is suitable
for a wide range of beverage production applications requiring
reliable microbiological stability before filling and
packaging.Homogenizer rated to 250 bar for controlled product
texturePlate heat exchanger volume 198 L for efficient thermal
transferRobust pump station for stable product and CIP flowsIdeal for
integration with filling, labeling, capping, and rinsing stages in a
used bottling lineInstallation Requirements & Site PreparationThe
system is designed for hygienic process areas with standard utility
availability. Site preparation should provide adequate floor space for
the UHT skid, access for maintenance, and compliant utility
connections.Utilities: steam or hot water (as applicable), chilled
water, potable water, compressed air, electrical powerProcess
connections: product in/out, CIP return/supplyDrainage and ventilation
