This page explains how UHT Sterilization Unit is classified within Beverage Manufacturing. Technical values and manufacturer relationships are research references; confirm the current specification and supplier evidence for each order.
A specialized thermal processing component that rapidly heats liquid beverages to ultra-high temperatures (typically 135-150°C) for a very short time (2-8 seconds) to achieve commercial sterility while minimizing thermal damage to product quality.
Technical details and manufacturing context for UHT Sterilization Unit
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Processing Capacity | 2000–20000 L/h | Higher capacity requires larger heat exchanger area |

Manufacturer profiles associated with UHT Sterilization Unit.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The unit operates at 135-150°C for 2-8 seconds, as per reference ranges. These values must be confirmed for the specific model and application with the manufacturer.
Product contact parts are made of 316L stainless steel, which is food-grade and corrosion-resistant. This is a reference material grade; verify with the supplier.
The unit requires a three-phase power supply of 380-480 V AC (50/60 Hz) and consumes 15-45 kW depending on capacity and heating method. Confirm exact requirements with the manufacturer.
It rapidly heats the product to ultra-high temperatures, holds it for a short time to destroy microorganisms, then cools it quickly. This achieves commercial sterility (F0≥3) while preserving product quality.
