2T/H UHT Milk Processing Line

                                2T/H UHT Milk Processing Line



UHT Milk Equipment Description

A 2T/H (i.e. processing 2 tons per hour) UHT milk processing production line refers to the production line designed with the ability to be built on ultra-high temperature sterilization (UHT) technology, processing 2000 kilograms of milk per hour to achieve long-term storage of milk without the need for refrigeration. UHT treatment is a food sterilization technique that involves heating milk to at least 135 ° C and holding it for a few seconds, followed by rapid cooling to eliminate bacteria and enzymes in the milk, ensuring commercial sterility and extending shelf life, typically up to several months without the need for refrigeration.

This type of production line usually includes the following key links:

1. Pre processing: Firstly, the raw milk will undergo steps such as filtration and purification to remove impurities, which may also include standardization processes to adjust the fat content to meet different product specifications.
2. Heat exchange: Milk is sent to a heat exchanger for preheating, which helps save energy because the preheated milk requires less energy to reach the UHT temperature.
3. UHT sterilization: In the core part, milk is heated to ultra-high temperature (usually 135 ° C~150 ° C) in a very short period of time and maintained for a sufficient time (usually a few seconds) to kill all microorganisms.
4. Aseptic filling: The sterilized milk must be immediately filled into sterile packaging in a sterile environment to prevent further contamination. This process is also completed under sterile conditions to ensure the sterile sealing of the product.
5. Cooling: The filled milk product will be quickly cooled for storage and transportation.
6. Quality control and testing: There will be multiple quality monitoring points throughout the entire process to ensure that the product meets food safety standards.
7. Packaging and palletizing: The cooled finished products are packaged and palletized using automated equipment for preparation for shipment.


UHT (Ultra High Temperature Instantaneous) milk processing production line is an advanced milk processing technology that sterilizes milk by heating it to extremely high temperatures in a very short time, thereby extending the shelf life of milk without the need for preservatives.

This technology has multiple technological highlights, ensuring the quality, safety, and nutritional value of milk:

1. Ultra high temperature instantaneous sterilization: The core of UHT treatment lies in its fast and efficient sterilization process. Usually, milk is heated to 135-150 ° C and held for a few seconds. This process effectively kills bacteria, molds, and spores in milk, including those that cause milk spoilage, while also maximizing the preservation of milk's natural flavor and nutrients.
2. Aseptic packaging: Milk treated with UHT must be immediately filled and sealed in a sterile environment to prevent external microbial contamination. This aseptic packaging technology is an important component of UHT milk production lines, ensuring that products can have a shelf life of several months even without refrigeration.
3. Efficient and energy-saving: Modern UHT treatment lines adopt advanced heat exchange systems and precise temperature control technology, which can reduce energy consumption while ensuring sterilization effectiveness. This not only reduces production costs, but also contributes to environmental protection.
4. Automation and Intelligence: The UHT milk production line is highly automated, from raw material reception, pretreatment, sterilization, cooling to sterile packaging. The entire process is managed through a computer control system, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency and safety. The intelligent monitoring system can monitor production parameters in real time, adjust them in a timely manner, and ensure the consistency of product quality.
5. Flexibility and Scalability: UHT production lines are designed with flexibility and can be adjusted or expanded according to different production scales and product requirements. Both small dairy companies and large multinational corporations can find suitable solutions.
6. Maintaining nutrition and taste: Despite undergoing high-temperature treatment, the carefully designed UHT process can maximize the retention of nutrients such as protein, vitamins, and minerals in milk, while maintaining the original fresh taste and flavor of milk.

In summary, UHT milk processing technology has become an indispensable part of modern dairy industry due to its efficient sterilization ability, sterile packaging, energy-saving characteristics, high automation, and careful maintenance of product quality.
