envelope: high-temperature operation up to approximately 148 °C
with vacuum and overpressure capability (application
dependent)Electrical frequency: 50 HzAdvanced Automation & Control
SystemsThe system includes an integrated computer control platform for
precise process management. Automated temperature, flow, and
holding-time control help ensure repeatable UHT performance across
batches. A dedicated CIP regulator supports automated cleaning
sequences, reducing downtime and enhancing food safety. The control
interface facilitates recipe management, alarm handling, and trend
visualization to support consistent quality and efficient
operations.Computerized process control for UHT parametersAutomated

Line Integration CapabilitiesThis second hand UHT unit integrates
seamlessly with upstream raw product handling and downstream aseptic
tanks or fillers. It is suitable for standalone operation or as part
of a used bottling line for beverage production. With a capacity of
5000 L/h, it supports medium-scale throughput and can be configured to
match a range of product viscosities and process requirements.Inline
or standalone operation modesInterfaces for feed, recirculation, and
product dischargeCompatible with aseptic storage and filling
systemsSuitable for dairy-based drinks, juice, and other liquid
foodsMachine Condition & Maintenance HistoryThis is a second hand UHT
system offered in working condition and ready for operation,
reflecting an industrial design focused on long service life. The pump
station includes a 2018 sanitary centrifugal pump as part of the
configuration, indicating modernized components within the system.
Overall, the unit presents as a robust processing asset for facilities
seeking reliable thermal treatment without the lead time of new
equipment.Operational Performance & VersatilityEngineered for stable
high-temperature processing, the system maintains consistent thermal
treatment and holding times to support product quality and shelf life.
The inclusion of homogenization enables improved product texture and
stability when required by the recipe. Stainless steel sanitary
components and automated cleaning help maintain hygiene standards
while minimizing manual intervention.Consistent UHT processing for
liquid foods and beveragesIntegrated homogenization up to 250 bar for
product stabilitySanitary design for high hygiene demandsEfficient
CIP-compatible configurationInstallation Requirements & Site
PreparationThe system is designed for integration into existing
process rooms with standard utility connections. Site preparation
typically includes ensuring adequate floor space, utility access, and
process interconnections appropriate to the target product and
downstream packaging equipment.Utilities: electrical power (50 Hz),
process water, compressed air (as required), CIP connectionsProcess
tie-ins: feed/product lines, return/recirculation, and
drainRecommended: access for maintenance and CIP service
operationsSafety Standards & Compliance CertificationThe unit employs
food-grade stainless steel construction and sanitary design principles
to support hygiene and operator safety. Components are CE-marked where
applicable, and the system incorporates process safeguards aligned
with industrial food safety practices. Protective housings,
interlocks, and pressure/temperature controls promote safe and
consistent operation in demanding processing environments.Food-grade
