Lab Sterilization Skid
A focused laboratory sterilizer for rapid thermal process studies with controlled flow and holding time.
20 L/h rated capacity with adjustable 10-40 L/h flow for small-batch UHT, HTST, and pasteurization work.
Equipment Role
The lab UHT/HTST sterilizer is a compact route for teams that need thermal treatment data without specifying a full pilot line. It is suited to recipe screening, heat stability checks, shelf-life trials, and process comparison work where repeatable temperature and flow control matter.
10-40 L/h operating range supports early trials without consuming production-scale material.
Sterilization temperature can reach up to 152 C with configurable holding time.
Injection, flash, filtration, vacuum, CIP, and SIP options can be selected around the trial goal.
Configuration Notes
Strong equipment selection starts with product behavior, utility limits, cleaning expectations, and the measurements required for scale-up.
Holding tube geometry should match the question being answered, especially for UHT validation.
Steam, cooling water, power, compressed air, and drain capacity affect installation and performance.
Small dead volume, sampling plan, and startup/shutdown routing matter when trial material is expensive.
