Mini UHT Sterilizer
The Mini UHT Sterilizer by Shanghai EasyReal Machinery Co., Ltd. is a compact and high-performance thermal processing unit designed specifically for laboratory research, product formulation trials, and pilot-scale production of liquid food and beverage products.
Unlike traditional systems limited to narrow sterilization ranges, this unit offers precise thermal control with a maximum sterilization temperature of up to 152°C. It supports both HTST (high-temperature short-time) pasteurization and UHT (ultra-high temperature) processing, making it ideal for simulating industrial-scale sterilization in a controlled R&D environment.
The sterilization process involves rapidly heating the product, holding it at the target temperature for several seconds, and then quickly cooling it to minimize thermal damage. This ensures microbiological safety while preserving the product’s original taste, color, viscosity, and nutritional content.
The system can be configured with either tubular or plate-type heat exchangers, depending on the viscosity and particulate nature of the product. A fully integrated PLC + HMI control platform provides intuitive operation, real-time parameter monitoring, and recipe management. Optional modules such as vacuum deaerators, mini homogenizers, and com
1.Precise Sterilization Temperature Control
The system offers accurate and stable thermal regulation, allowing users to set and maintain sterilization temperatures up to 152°C, essential for both HTST and UHT applications in liquid foods and beverages.
2.Compact and Space-Saving Design
With its small footprint, the Mini UHT Sterilizer is ideal for laboratories, R&D rooms, and pilot plants where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised.
3.Flexible Heat Exchanger Options
Available with tubular or plate-type heat exchangers, the unit can handle products of varying viscosity, clarity, and particulate content—from milk and juice to plant-based beverages and functional liquids.
4.Real-Time Control with PLC + HMI System
Equipped with a programmable logic controller (PLC) and touchscreen human-machine interface (HMI), operators can monitor temperature, flow rate, holding time, and system alarms with full visibility and control.
5.Short Holding Time & Gentle Processing
The system uses a short-time high-temperature treatment (typically 3–15 seconds), minimizing thermal impact while ensuring microbial inactivation and product stability.
6.Rapid Cooling Section
An integrated cooling module quickly brings the product back to the desired discharge temperature, helping maintain sensory quality and nutritional integrity.
7.Optional Inline Modules for R&D Simulation
The system supports optional add-ons such as:
- Vacuum deaerator – for oxygen removal and improved shelf life
- Mini high-pressure homogenizer – for emulsion stability
- Compact aseptic filler – to complete a lab-scale aseptic processing chain
8.Easy Cleaning and Maintenance
The equipment is designed with smooth product contact surfaces and sanitary piping, compatible with CIP/SIP protocols or manual cleaning, depending on configuration.
9.Wide Application Range
Perfect for R&D of dairy products, flavored milk, soy/oat/almond drinks, juices, nutritional beverages, and other innovative liquid formulations.
10.Professional Support and Customization
Backed by EasyReal’s engineering team, each unit can be customized for flow rate, heating method, data recording, or integration with existing lab equipment.
