FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The primary difference between Infusion and Injection UHT Systems lies in the heating process. The Infusion UHT System rapidly heats the dairy product by infusing it with steam, which helps retain flavor and nutrients, ideal for fresh-tasting dairy products like milk and cream. On the other hand, the Injection UHT System injects steam directly into the product for quick and precise heat transfer, making it suitable for dairy products that require tighter temperature control, such as fortified milks or flavored beverages.

For fresh-tasting milk, the Infusion UHT System is generally preferred because its rapid heating and cooling cycle helps preserve natural flavors and nutrients. The gentle infusion of steam minimizes thermal impact, making it ideal for premium milk and other dairy products where taste and nutritional quality are priorities. Visit our Infusion UHT System page to learn more.

For plant-based beverages like almond or oat beverage, our Infusion UHT System is ideal due to its rapid heating and cooling capabilities, which help preserve flavor and nutrients. Learn more about our APV Infusion UHT System.

The Injection UHT System provides precise temperature control, making it suitable for dairy products such as fortified milks and sensitive beverages that require controlled processing. Explore our APV Injection UHT System for more details. However, please note that infusion is most gentle process for UHT treatment when compared to any other types of UHT processes.

Our SSHE UHT System is specially designed for high-viscosity products like cream, offering efficient heating that preserves texture and stability. Visit our SSHE UHT System page for more information.

SPX FLOW’s UHT systems incorporate energy-saving features, such as heat recovery and efficient designs, reducing energy consumption across dairy and beverage applications.

The Tubular UHT System is the preferred choice for grain-based beverages due to its ability to handle particulates, higher viscosities, and complex product formulations. It provides uniform heating while preserving the flavor, texture, and nutritional quality of grain-based drinks. Discover the benefits of our Tubular UHT System.
