March 3, 2025 — Shanghai EasyReal Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., a global leader in compact food and beverage processing solutions, proudly announces the successful installation, commissioning, and acceptance of its Laboratory UHT/HTST Pilot Plant for FGC, a pioneering Vietnamese company in tea and functional beverage production. This milestone underscores EasyReal’s commitment to delivering cost-effective, small-scale UHT solutions tailored for R&D and pilot-scale production.
Project Overview
Renowned for its premium tea exports, FGC is expanding into the functional beverage sector. To accelerate product innovation, the company has selected EasyReal’s 20LPH Lab UHT/HTST Plant (learn more), a modular system designed for research and development across various liquid food applications, including tea, functional beverages, coffee, dairy, milk, and plant-based beverages.
Key Components:
- Pilot Tubular UHT/HTST Sterilizer – Achieves precise sterilization (up to 152°C, ±0.3°C) for diverse liquid food products.
- Inline Homogenizer – Enhances emulsion stability and protein solubility, ensuring uniform texture and improved product quality.
- Aseptic Filling System – Provides contamination-free aseptic packaging trials, simulating industrial production conditions.
- Direct Steam Injection (DSI) System – Enables rapid heating and precise control, ideal for sensitive beverages.
- Supporting Equipment – Includes an industrial ice water generator and an oil-free air compressor for enhanced operational efficiency.
Technical Excellence & Client Benefits
EasyReal’s lab-scale pasteurizer and UHT pilot plant integrate advanced features that optimize R&D efficiency:
- Modular Flexibility – Easily adapt workflows for milk, ice cream, plant-based beverages, tea, coffee, RTD (ready-to-drink) drinks, and dairy products.
- Precision Control – Real-time temperature, flow rate (5–40 L/h), and pressure monitoring via an intuitive touchscreen interface. (EasyReal also offers a 100L/h model for larger-scale testing.)
- Low Operational Costs – Requires only 3 liters per test, reducing raw material waste by 40% compared to traditional systems.
- Extended Shelf Life – Optimized UHT processing with minimal heat damage ensures nutrient retention and prolonged freshness.
- Simulated Industrial Production – Bridges the gap between laboratory testing and full-scale manufacturing, facilitating smooth scale-up.
Strategic Impact
For Future Generation PHU THO, this UHT mini system serves as a crucial link between laboratory research and industrial-scale production, delivering:
- Faster Time-to-Market – Shortens prototype development cycles by 50–60%, enabling rapid response to evolving market demands.
- Quality Assurance – Fully CE-compliant, ensuring export-ready product quality.
- Scalability – Seamlessly transitions from pilot-scale testing to commercial production, minimizing capital investment risks.
- Reduces Food Waste – Optimized processing ensures efficient use of raw materials, reducing overall waste.
