SPX FLOW APV Infusion UHT with SteamRecycle

SPX FLOW has launched the APV Infusion UHT featuring SteamRecycle, a solution designed to recover and reuse 100% of the steam used during the infusion UHT process.

The solution is designed to eliminate the need for fresh steam after start-up, which is claimed to help dairy, nutritional beverage and plant-based producers reduce carbon dioxide emissions and cut water recirculation by up to 33 m³/h compared to traditional Infusion UHT systems.

The closed-loop system eliminates the need for continuous fresh steam input by using mechanical vapour compressors to recover excess low-pressure steam. It then converts it to high-pressure steam, making it suitable for reuse in the UHT process while still maintaining product quality.

The solution is easily integrated into existing or new APV Infusion UHT systems. SteamRecycle is rigorously tested to deliver stable performance, hygienic design and consistent high-pressure steam (up to 5 bar).
