Direct or indirect UHT?

This is a question many of our customers ask. The answer depends not only on what products you wish to treat with UHT, but also on the price of the products and their profit margin. This makes it a complex question but we have done our best to give you simple answers. They will point you in the right direction for choosing a UHT solution that is right for you.

Just by answering these six simple questions in our guide, you can quickly find out which solution is best for you: direct or indirect or both.

  • How sensitive is your product to heat treatment?
  • Does your product contain any volatile flavours?
  • Does your product contain particles up to 5x5x5 mm?
  • What is the required ambient shelf life?
  • Do you treat many different products?
  • Does your product sell at a premium price?
