Start with the Product and Intended Process
UHT processing uses very high temperatures for a short, controlled time. Pasteurization uses a specified temperature and holding time to reduce target microorganisms. The treatment is selected for the product and its intended use.
Describe the product's characteristics, including whether it is a liquid or contains particles. Identify the processing steps before and after heat treatment and explain the packaging and storage requirements you intend to use.
Include the Stages After Heating
For an aseptic process, the treated product must be protected from recontamination during cooling, transfer and filling. The discussion therefore includes the equipment after the heating stage and the connections between them.
Muninmax UHT systems can connect to an aseptic tank or directly to an aseptic filler, depending on the product and project requirements. Pasteurizer applications include treatment before further processing and suitable non-aseptic filling applications. Treatment, filling and storage are assessed together.
Prepare a Useful Project Brief
You do not need to choose a model before contacting us. Start with:
- The product, its main characteristics and whether it contains particles.
- The intended process and the stages before and after heat treatment.
- The proposed packaging and filling method.
- The intended storage conditions.
- The required capacity, if known, and equipment already in place.
These details provide the context for discussing the system and its connections. Temperature, holding time and acceptance criteria are defined for the application rather than taken from another product's process.
Define the Equipment and Project Responsibilities
Muninmax designs, fabricates and assembles UHT and pasteurizer systems in-house and sources associated equipment and components. Included work, optional items, exclusions and the responsibilities of each party are defined for the project.
Tell us about the product and the process you want to establish or change. The equipment page explains the available tubular arrangements and Muninmax's scope of work.
Product, Packaging and Storage Requirements
Pasteurization uses a specified temperature and holding time to reduce target microorganisms. A processing discussion also needs to consider the product, filling method, packaging and intended storage conditions together.
Define the Intended Conditions
Explain how the product will be filled, packaged, stored and transported. The requirements for one product or package should not be treated as the process specification or shelf life of another.
For an aseptic system, storage and transport without refrigeration before opening depend on the validated suitability of the product, process and packaging and the specified storage conditions. Heat treatment is considered together with the stages that follow it.
Share Your Requirements
Tell us the product characteristics, intended packaging and storage conditions, along with any defined product-life requirement. These form part of the project discussion; this overview does not set a shelf-life period or a treatment recipe.
