Used Tetra Pak UHT System 5000 LPH Technical Specifications and Performance Data This Tetra Pak UHT Steritherm system (model VTIS C-4) is a robust, pre-owned processing unit designed to provide consistent high-temperature treatment for beverage production and industrial manufacturing workflows. Designed for high reliability and easy integration with downstream filling and bottling equipment, it ensures stable thermal performance and hygienic operation for modern beverage production lines. Manufacturer: Tetra Pak Model: VTIS C-4 Steritherm Year of manufacture: 2017 Flow rate: 5000 L/h Maximum process temperature (approximate): Up to 148 °C (per inspected pressure section) Equipment included: Alfa Laval SHL-20 homogenizer (250 bar), Alfa Laval H7-RC plate heat exchanger (198 L), pumping station with Alfa Laval LKH-10 and LKH-107, ABB drive and CIP controller Design objective: Continuous UHT treatment with integrated homogenization and plate heat exchange Construction: Hygienic stainless steel process components Advanced automation and control systems The system includes computerized control for precise process management, providing stable time-temperature profiles and consistent product quality. Automated supervision of key parameters helps reduce product losses and optimize energy consumption. Interlocking devices and instrumentation support safe operation during heating, holding, and cooling. Centralized computer control for process sequence management and alarms. Integrated CIP controller to streamline CIP procedures. Process instrumentation for pressure, temperature, and flow control. Component-level CE marking on included Alfa Laval equipment. Production line integration capabilities. Designed to integrate seamlessly into a used bottling line or new production layouts, this UHT system easily interfaces with upstream raw product handling and downstream filling and packaging equipment. It supports industrial packaging workflows for PET and glass bottling operations by supplying heat-treated product to fillers. In-line compatibility with fillers, buffer tanks and conveyors Ideal for beverage production environments requiring a continuous flow rate of 5000 L/h Flexible process connections for integration with existing piping and CIP cycles Suitable for upgrades on used equipment or for capacity expansions Machine Status and Maintenance History This unit is presented as a used, ready-to-use UHT system. Ancillary components show signs of professional maintenance, including a recent service label on the Alfa Laval pump (dated 04/24) and inspection records on pressure-bearing components. Operational Status: Ready for Use Inspection labels present on pressure sections Service mark observed on pumping component included Operational Performance and Versatility Designed for a consistent UHT process, the Steritherm line supports stable heat treatment, homogenization for product consistency and efficient heat recovery via the plate heat exchanger. It is suitable for a wide range of beverage production applications requiring reliable microbiological stability prior to bottling and packaging. Homogenizer designed for 250 bar for controlled product texture Plate heat exchanger volume: 198 L Robust pump station for stable product flows and CIP Ideal for integration with filling, labeling, capping, and rinsing steps in a used bottling line Installation Requirements and Site Preparation The system is designed for hygienic process environments with standard utilities. Site preparation should provide adequate floor space for the UHT skid, maintenance access, and compliant utility connections.
