Project Overview
The newly installed pilot UHT line is designed to meet TUFOCO’s requirements for processing coconut-based beverages, which demand precise temperature control, aseptic handling, and nutrient retention to preserve natural flavors. The compact, modular system features EasyReal’s proprietary Lab Scale UHT System, capable of processing 20 liters per hour while ensuring product stability and extended shelf life.
EasyReal’s solution integrates advanced heat exchange systems, direct steam injection (DSI) technology, and automated controls to optimize processing parameters, ensuring minimal nutrient loss and consistent product quality. It provides great support for the company’s Beverage Development and Functional Beverage innovation.

Precision Engineering for Product Challenges
The pilot UHT line integrates EasyReal’s indirect heating UHT technology, specifically optimized for heat-sensitive, high-sugar coconut products. Key innovations include:
• Double-layer Tube Heat Exchanger: Ensures uniform thermal distribution, preventing protein denaturation and caramelization, critical for preserving natural flavor and color.
• Instant Cooling Modules: Rapidly reduces product temperature post-UHT treatment (140–145°C for 3~5 seconds) to below 40°C within seconds, minimizing thermal degradation.
• Aseptic Filling Integration: Combines UHT processing with Class 100 cleanroom-grade aseptic filling, ensuring sterile product stability.
• Parameter Optimization: Real-time adjustment of temperature, pressure, and flow rates, ensuring consistency across varying raw material viscosities.
