Industrial steamer HT324

Overview
The HT324 combines Direct Steam Infusion and Direct Steam Injection (DSI) in a single in-line UHT heat-treatment system for sensitive food products. The technology provides very fast heating followed by vacuum flash cooling to achieve high spore reduction while minimising thermal impact on product quality. The unit can operate as a stand-alone system or be integrated and controlled via the HT320. Nominal capacities: 100 L/h or 200 L/h.
