Description
Used Tetra Pak 4000 Lh UHT Milk Preparation Room Operating Capacity and Product Versatility The Tetra Pak 4000 Lh used UHT milk preparation room offers optimized aseptic heat treatment for dairy and beverage applications. Specifically, the unit operates at variable flow rates from 2,000 to 4,000 liters per hour, making it suitable for white milk, flavored milk, drinking yogurt, and condensed milk. Additionally, with program adjustments, the same line also processes fruit juices, nectars, and soft drinks. Consequently, this flexibility makes it ideal for multi-product operations. The system currently remains in storage and, as such, is ready for relocation and installation in a new production facility. In-line aseptic homogenization. The Tetra Pak 4000 Lh used UHT milk preparation room includes a 2006 Tetra Alex aseptic homogenizer manufactured by Tetra Pak. Specifically, this unit, located downstream of the preheater, operates under sterile conditions to ensure the breakdown of fat globules and uniform dispersion of the solid and liquid phases. Consequently, it helps maintain the emulsion stability of flavored milk and yogurt beverages. Furthermore, the in-line aseptic design reduces the risk of contamination after heat treatment. Therefore, it maintains the physical and chemical consistency of the product during downstream stages. Furthermore, the robust construction simplifies cleaning and routine maintenance. Clean-in-Place (CIP) System. The line integrates a CIP (Clean-in-Place) system supplied by Gemak in 2009, consisting of four dedicated tanks: nitric acid, caustic soda, hot water, and rinse water. Specifically, the system automatically sanitizes all product-contact surfaces based on controlled parameters. This ensures compliance with hygiene standards across multiple cleaning stages. It also manages solution recovery and optimizes water usage across all cleaning circuits. Thus, the CIP system in the Tetra Pak 4000 Lh used UHT milk preparation room minimizes downtime and supports continuous production. Above all, it protects product integrity between production cycles. Heat treatment and holding time control. The sterilization process relies on a sealing coil supplied by Tetra Pak in 2006, designed to maintain the product at the target temperature for the required time. When combined with a tubular UHT heat exchanger, this coil enables indirect and uniform heat treatment. Thus, the system ensures precise holding times and optimal microbial reduction. Likewise, the unit maintains organoleptic properties through constant heat transfer. Therefore, the Tetra Pak 4000 Lh used UHT milk preparation room offers reliable processing for both dairy and plant-based applications. Deaeration and sterile storage The system includes a 2006 Tetra Pak degasser, which removes dissolved oxygen and unwanted gases prior to the UHT process. This improves the product's shelf life and minimizes oxidative degradation. Furthermore, the degasser connects directly to a 3500-liter sterile tank, model Alsafe, also from Tetra Pak (2006). Due to this connection, the product is transferred into a closed, sterile environment. In turn, this configuration preserves the sterility of the product after processing and maintains aseptic conditions until the filling stage. Technical conclusion In summary, the Tetra Pak 4000 Lh used UHT milk preparation room offers a complete solution for the aseptic preparation of dairy products and beverages. Thanks to its modular layout and the integration of high-quality components, the line supports highly efficient operations. Whether the application involves milk, yogurt, or fruit juice, this system guarantees safe and reproducible results. Finally, with all critical systems in stock and ready for shipment, the line is available for rapid commissioning in modern processing environments.
