OMVE HT326 Laboratory UHT/HTST for high viscous products

OMVE HT326 Laboratory UHT/HTST for high viscous products

Product catalog summary
Overview
The OMVE HT326 pilot plant is a high-temperature short-time (HTST) and ultra-high temperature (UHT) system designed for processing high-viscosity products and large particles in a continuous flow. It is ideal for research and development departments to simulate full-scale production processes, aiding in scale-up, formulation, and product optimization.
Features & Benefits
  • Industrial-grade components with a customizable, modular design.
  • Built-in Clean-In-Place (CIP) and Sterilize-In-Place (SIP) systems.
  • High automation level with low product hold-up.
Working Principle
The system includes a feed hopper, product pump, CIP pump, scraped surface heat exchangers, cooling sections, and a touchscreen. Products are heated to a set temperature in the heat exchangers, held for a specified time, and then cooled. A backpressure valve maintains system pressure to prevent boiling.
Applications
  • Dairy-based viscous products
  • Desserts, fillings, and puddings
  • Fruit concentrates and vegetable purees
  • Soups and sauces
  • Functional and medical food
Specifications
  • Adjustable flow rates range from 10-300L/hr depending on the model.
  • Product pump pressure up to 20 bar.
  • CIP pump flow rate of 1200L/hr.
  • Cleaning temperature at 70°C/85°C and sterilization at 140°C.
  • Maximum viscosity over 2500cPs and particle size up to 7mm.
Optional Accessories
  • External mixing tank connection
  • Flow meter/control options
  • Additional holding tubes
  • Internet connectivity for troubleshooting
  • Aseptic SSHE and data logger

OMVE HT326 Laboratory UHT/HTST for high viscous products-1

HT326 HTST/UHT Pilot Plant The OMVE HT326 pilot plant is a HTST/UHT system designed to process products with high viscosities and/or large particles in continuous flow. The HT326 provides R&D departments a flexible and reliable unit to mimic the operation of full-sized production plants, facilitating the scale-up process, formulation, product optimization, shelf-life studies, organoleptic analysis and more. Features & Benefits • Industrial A-brand components • Customizable, modular build • High level of automation Applications Working Principle • Dairy-based viscous products • Desserts, fillings and puddings • Fruit concentrates & vegetable purees • Soups & sauces • Functional and Medical Food The HT326 system contains standard a feed hopper, a product pump, a CIP pump, scraped surface heat exchangers (pre- and main heat with independent control), 2 cooling sections and a touchscreen. The product is pumped from the product feed hopper or external connection to the scraped surface heat exchangers. In the heat exchangers the product is heated to the set temperature. After the heating sections, a holding time can be applied. The product is sequentially cooled by the cooling sections. A backpressure valve keeps the system pressurized to prevent boiling during processing. Three stages can be distinguished during operation: sterilization (SIP), production, and cleaning (CIP).
