Different Products. Different Priorities. Different UHT Systems.

Choosing the right UHT processing system is about more than selecting a technology. It influences product performance, operational efficiency and long-term flexibility.

From milk and cream to high-protein and nutritional products, every formulation has different processing requirements. The best solution depends on your product, your process and your production goals.

APV helps producers identify the UHT technology that best fits their application and long-term objectives.

Supporting Your Production Goals

Different applications place different demands on UHT processing.

Whether your priority is product characteristics, efficiency, throughput or total cost of ownership, understanding these requirements helps identify the most suitable processing approach.

Find The Right UHT Processing System for Your Application

 Whether your priority is product performance, operational efficiency, flexibility or cost optimization, our experts can help identify the right solution. 

Key Considerations for UHT System Selection

Selecting a UHT system starts with understanding your application. Consider factors such as:

  • Product formulation
  • Heat sensitivity
  • Viscosity and particulates
  • Product acidity
  • Capacity and flexibility
  • Direct or indirect processing
  • Plant configuration

UHT Technologies at a Glance 

APV offers a complete portfolio of UHT technologies.

Indirect UHT Systems

  • Tubular: Robust processing for viscous and particulate products
  • Plate: Efficient processing for low-viscosity applications
  • SSHE: Controlled heat transfer for challenging formulations

Direct UHT Systems

  • Injection: Flexible processing across a broad range of applications
  • Infusion: Gentle processing for sensitive, high-value products

The right technology depends on your product and production priorities.

Think Beyond the Technology

Selecting a UHT system is about more than heating technology. System design influences production uptime, CIP efficiency, fouling, maintenance and lifecycle costs. It also determines how easily your production line can adapt as products and market demands evolve.
