Product Overview
Model HTK-TGS-01 tube-in-tube UHT steriliser with a working capacity of 1000 to 15,000 litres per hour. Product contact parts are SUS316L and the remainder SUS304. It sterilises high viscosity liquid food and beverage products such as tomato paste and concentrated fruit juice, which would foul plate equipment. The process runs from 25°C inlet, through sterilisation at 95 to 121°C held for 120 to 180 seconds, to an outlet at 25 to 35°C, and the product can then be filled into aseptic bags.
Key Benefits
- Wide flow path handles high viscosity product that would block a plate unit
- Published process profile: inlet 25°C, sterilise 95 to 121°C for 120 to 180 seconds, outlet 25 to 35°C
- SUS316L on every product contact surface
- Feeds aseptic bag filling directly for ambient storage
- PLC full automatic control with touch screen and accurate temperature control
Problems It Solves
- Plate equipment fouling and blocking on pulpy or viscous product
- Short production runs between cleans because of fouling
- Product that has to be stored ambient rather than chilled
- Temperature control that is not accurate enough for a validated sterilisation
Where It Is Used
Applications And Buyers
Application Scenarios
- Sterilising tomato paste before aseptic bag filling

- Control and recording arrangement
Compared With The Alternatives
| Plate pasteuriser | Plate equipment gives higher heat recovery and a smaller footprint on clear products, but the narrow channels foul on anything with pulp or high viscosity. |
|---|---|
| Tubular UHT steriliser | Both are tubular; the tube-in-tube arrangement is the configuration chosen for the highest viscosity products such as paste and concentrate. |
Use Guide
- Give the product viscosity and particle size at enquiry, since both drive the tube arrangement
- Confirm whether aseptic bag filling follows, because the two must be specified together
- Validate the temperature and hold time for your product before production
- Plan CIP flow rates for the largest tube diameter in the circuit
