Description
The Microwave UHT /HTST unit has been developed for the rapid heating of various types of viscous, non-viscous and even non-homogeneous products. Product temperatures up to 160°C can be reached. The product is heated in a short product tube enabling extremely rapid heating rates to be achieved.
This extremely high heating rate reduces negative effects on the physical properties of the product, e.g. denaturation of proteins, vitamins and Maillard reaction.
Another advantage of the microwave unit is that the heating occurs throughout the volume of the product. No heated surface is needed, which prevents burning of the product.
The Microwave UHT/HTST is a user friendly laboratory system for pasteurisation, sterilisation, gelatinisation and other heating processes.
This is is an add-on unit, which must be used in conjunction with Tubular system. This is still available for independent use, but the cannot be operated without .
By purchasing an existing owners can upgrade their equipment to a full performance microwave unit at minimum cost Plate Heat Exchanger units will need the Tubular Heat Exchanger option as well).
