Milk Sterilization Equipment FAQ
1. What is the difference between pasteurization and UHT in milk sterilization equipment?
Pasteurization typically heats milk to 72°C for 15 seconds, killing pathogenic bacteria while preserving most nutrients. UHT (Ultra High Temperature) processing heats milk to 135-150°C for 2-5 seconds, achieving commercial sterility and enabling room temperature storage. Our milk sterilization equipment can be configured for either process.
2. How often does milk sterilization equipment require maintenance?
We recommend quarterly professional inspections for all milk sterilization equipment, with daily operator checks of seals and gaskets. Critical components like heat exchangers should undergo annual pressure testing. Properly maintained systems typically operate for 10-15 years before major refurbishment.
3. Can your milk sterilization equipment handle different dairy products?
Yes, our systems can process various dairy products including whole milk, skim milk, cream, flavored milk, and dairy alternatives. Special configurations are available for high-viscosity products. The modular design allows quick adjustment of parameters through the PLC interface when switching product types.
