UHT Infusion for Cosmetics

SPX is a world leader in UHT technology with a comprehensive portfolio of tried and tested UHT plant solutions including plate, tubular, injection and infusion UHT plant technologies. Infusion is the most efficient technology for UHT sterilized products. UHT infusion involves heating products very rapidly from 20°C to 150°C with clean steam, keeping the product at that temperature for a few seconds and cooling it down to 30°C very rapidly. The high temperature, combined with strong thermal shocks, destroys the most resistant micro-organisms. The rapidity of heating and cooling avoids any product deterioration. This treatment is applied to end products and the equipment can be easily installed between existing process tanks and filling machines.
