The most common application for homogenisation in dairy is to disperse the cream in milk or ice cream mix into a homogenous emulsion, preventing future cream separation and keeping the product in a consistent state over time.

Homogenisation occurs via mechanical means, the product is subjected to high pressure/velocity as it is forced through a small orifice causing turbulence and cavitation thus high shear breaking the particles down and dispersing them throughout.

Homogenisers are also used for various different pharmaceutical or laboratory applications. With a fully integrated design and process team at Thermaflo, we are able to specify the correct homogeniser and high-pressure pump units specifically for your application.

The Direct Steam Injection UHT/HTST system is designed for comparisons of heat treatment with either direct heating or indirect heating.

The machine can be supplied with tubes, plates or both. Processing using either direct heating or indirect heating at temperatures to 152 deg C and flow rates from 10 to 40 Ltr per hour. Easy changeover from direct heating or indirect heating by the touch of a button. Just select which system is to be used from the touch panel menu and the machine is ready to use.

Individual tubes are utilized to give a wide variety of heating and cooling duties. The tubes are manufactured to our own specification and are profiled to give turbulence at the low flow rates to enable scale up to production.

No-bond Gasketed plate heat exchangers offer a wide variety of heating and cooling duties. The plates are manufactured to our own specification and can be supplied as 1 complete plate pack or individual units for easy maintenance.

Each section is individually controlled and the flow path of the system is shown on the touch panel

• Minimum sample required.
• Holding tubes of any time available and can be placed wherever needed.
• Built in refrigerator or your chilled water supply.
• Touch panel control fascia with flow path of system.
• Vacuum pump to 400 mbar.
• PID controlled steam valve.
• Aseptic sampling when used with the optional Clean Bench.
• Level sensor in hopper for easy wash out after product and CIP.
• Steam, mains water and a suitable drain required.
• Compressed air at 6 bar for the divert valves.

The Tube & Plate UHT/HTST machine can be designed and built to suit, with tubes or plates or both on one base.

The system is designed for easy changeover from one system to the other with the touch of a button. Just select which system is to be used from the touch panel menu and the machine is ready to use.

There is no need to remove the plates and replace with tubes or vice versa, the divert valves will change the product and service flow through whichever system is chosen. Individual tubes are utilized to give a wide variety of heating and cooling duties. The tubes are manufactured to our own specification and are profiled to give turbulence at the low flow rates to enable scale up to production.

• Static mixers optional for difficult products.
• The machine is completely mobile, can be moved from one location to another very easily and can be positioned in a wet or dry area.

Starting with the required volume and dimensions of your required vessel, and its purpose our design team will determine if you will require a single, double or triple skinned tank with dimple pad and/or insulation.

From there, we’ll work with you to determine the placement of the vessel on-site, where the on the tank a manway may be required, the positioning of inlet and outlet piping for both the product and CIP as well as all associated valving that may be included.

Once the above information has been gathered, we will complete fabrication in our workshop before sending the tank to site for installation. As we take installation into account from the beginning of the design process, we know the anchoring points for the tank and where all associated piping will be going, considerably speeding up all on-site works.

Whether you’re looking for a straightforward tank design or something more customised, our team can help.

Filmatic ESL Bottle Filling Machines (Extended Shelf Life) is expanding the lifespan of perishable products through packaging, without changing the taste characteristics of the freshly produced product itself.

The continuous variable flow control valve promoted non-contact, non-drop filling creating a hygienic filling environment while also minimising foaming issues. All product contact components are thoroughly cleaned by the closed-loop automated CIP system.

ESL is a great choice for those with high-value products wanting a longer shelf life, without the additional expense of aseptic technology. ESL is well suited for products such as Milk, Cream & Juice etc.

Factors to consider for ESL:

Air Management

• Clean room = Class 100
• Pre-filtration
• HEPA filtration
• Diffuser
• Laminar vertical airflow

Cap Sterilization
Eliminate potential contamination issues from the cap.

Container Sterilization
Single or double stage rinsing using a combination of sanitizing agents available.

Auto-sanitise and CIP

• Auto-sanitise (Surface Sterilization)
• A multi-stage programmable system to conform to individual product requirements.
• CIP (Clean in Place)
• Multi-stage, two-directional systems which can be programmed to conform to individual product requirements.

The 100 series is capable of meeting the most demanding hygiene standards.

The machines are built in a format of up to 10 lanes and are offered with double indexing systems which allow for either a fast format size change or a doubling of the machine’s output. The rigid and proven mechanical design of 100 series also enables high speeds.

The 100 series caters for the most extreme needs including; the most demanding hygiene requirements, large capacity requirements, or the complex requirements of the product itself.

As standard and as with the entire range of Trepko machines, the 100 Series is CE–marked, and is built in accordance with all applicable European safety standards.

Filling Applications: milk, cream, yoghurt, kefir, cream cheese, processed cheese, mousse, desserts, quark, cottage cheese, cottage cheese with fruit pulp, butter, margarine, jam, honey, mayonnaise, dressing, ketchup, sauces, caviar, salads, pâte, luncheon meat, lard, pet food, tvorog, quark, fromage frais, spreads, conserve, shortening.
