The 6000 L/H Juice Beverage Pipeline Tubular UHT Sterilizer Plant Line is a robust solution designed for continuous high-temperature short-time (HTST) processing of fruit juices, nectars, and beverage concentrates, ensuring extended shelf life while preserving natural taste and nutritional value. Engineered with a focus on gentle thermal treatment, this plant line uses a tubular heat exchanger to achieve precise temperature control (75-140°C) and short holding times (2-30 seconds), minimizing thermal degradation of vitamins, pigments, and aromatic compounds. With a processing capacity of 6,000 liters per hour, it supports large-scale production for both refrigerated and ambient-stable juice products, integrating seamlessly with upstream clarification systems and downstream aseptic fillers.
1. Tubular Heat Exchange Technology: Stainless steel 316L tubing (internal diameter: 25-50mm) provides uniform heat transfer with low shear, ideal for pulpy juices (up to 20% solids) and particle sizes up to 8mm. Counter-current flow design maximizes energy recovery.
2. Adaptive Process Control: A PLC-based system with PID temperature regulation ensures ±0.5°C accuracy, adjusting steam flow and product pump speed in real-time. Pre-programmed recipes for clear juices (e.g., apple), cloudy nectars (e.g., mango), and concentrates simplify operation.
3. Aseptic Integrity Assurance: Positive-pressure operation (0.5-1 bar) prevents external contamination, while the CIP/SIP system (30-minute cycle) uses alkaline/acid washes and steam sterilization to maintain microbiological purity (log reduction ≥5 for pathogens).
4. Energy-Efficient Regeneration: A regenerative heat exchanger recovers up to 90% of thermal energy, reducing steam consumption to 0.35 tons per hour and cooling water usage by 40% compared to non-regenerative systems.
5. Modular Pipeline Design: Quick-connect tri-clamp fittings and color-coded valves enable easy access for maintenance, with optional bypass lines for continuous production during minor repairs.
• Commercial Juice Production: Processes orange, grape, and pineapple juices for retail distribution, achieving shelf lives of 30-60 days under refrigeration or 6-12 months under aseptic packaging.
• Nectar & Puree Processing: Handles high-viscosity products like mango nectar and apple puree, with optional homogenization integration to enhance texture stability.
• Functional Beverages: Suitable for pasteurizing probiotic drinks, cold-brew coffee, and vitamin-fortified juices, protecting heat-sensitive ingredients through optimized thermal profiles.
Q: Can this system handle juice with large pulp particles?
A:Standard tubing accommodates particles up to 8mm. For larger particulates (e.g., berry seeds), a pre-screening module or custom tubing with wider diameters can be installed.
Q: What is the difference between UHT and pasteurization settings?
A:UHT mode (135-140°C, 2-4 seconds) achieves commercial sterility for ambient storage, while pasteurization (85-95°C, 15-30 seconds) is used for refrigerated products with shorter shelf lives.
Q: How is the system validated for microbiological safety?
A:We provide process qualification reports (PQ, OQ, PQ) confirming thermal lethality (F0 value ≥8 for spores) and microbial challenge test results. Third-party certification is available upon request.
Q: Can it be used for hot-fill applications into PET bottles?
A:Yes, the system can deliver product at 85-90°C for hot-fill processes, with a downstream plate cooler to adjust temperature for specific bottle requirements (e.g., 82°C for PET tolerance).
Q: What is the minimum batch size for efficient operation?
A:The recirculation loop allows processing batches as small as 1,000 liters, with minimal product waste during start-up and shutdown (<0.5% of batch volume).
