Tetra ThermAsepticPrimo
Indirect UHT treatment module
– based on tubular and plate heat exchangers
Application
Aseptic processing module for indirect UHT treat-
ment in plate and tubular heat exchangers of cow
milk.
Working Principle
The Tetra Therm Aseptic Primo is sterilised by
circulating hot water under pressure for 30 minutes.
After sterilisation the plant is cooled down step by
step to production temperatures. Finally sterile water
is circulated through the product circuit.
A production run starts with filling the plant with
product via the balance tank. The product displaces
the water/product mix to drain or reject tank. When a
downstream tank or filling machine is ready produc-
tion can start.
If product supply fails or a stop at a filling ma-
chine occurs, sterile water replaces the product and
goes into circulation.
The product is regeneratively pre-heated in the
plate heat exchanger before being homogenised in a
non-aseptic Tetra Alex homogeniser (optional). Final
heating takes place in the Tetra Spiraflo tubular heat
exchanger. The product is then held in a holding
tube for the required period of time.
Regenerative cooling to packaging temperature
takes place in the plate heat exchanger.
In order to prolong the production period between
full CIP (Cleaning In Place), an Aseptic Intermediate
Cleaning (AIC) can be performed.
After each production run the plant is cleaned
with both lye and acid.
