Pasteurization vs UHT: How to Choose Milk Heat Treatment for Your Market
The choice between pasteurized and UHT milk is decided by your distribution chain, not your budget. A practical guide for new dairy plants.
Turnkey Lines
Milk Processing Line
A milk line is more than a list of machines. Before we quote, we work out the process flow, the balance between stages, the utility load and the floor space you will need — then propose the equipment that fits.
The line below is the typical sequence for chilled pasteurised milk. Most plants leave some stages out or already have them; tell us what you have and we will quote only what is missing.
Process flow
Manufactured by us Specified & integrated
- 1 Reception and raw milk storage
Insulated storage tanks sized to your delivery pattern, with agitation and cooling.
Milk Cooling & Storage Tanks - 2 Separation and homogenisation
Separator and homogeniser are specified and integrated from established suppliers; the quotation states clearly which items are bought in.
- 3 Standardising and recipe make-up
Jacketed mixing tanks for fat standardising and powder reconstitution.
Dairy Mixing Tanks - 4 Pasteurisation
Plate system from 1,000 to 10,000 L/h with regeneration, holding section and automatic flow diversion.
Milk Pasteurization Equipment - 5 Chilled buffer before filling
Buffer tank that decouples the pasteuriser from the filling machine.
Milk Cooling & Storage Tanks - 6 Filling and packing
Pouch, bottle or carton fillers specified to your pack format and integrated into the line.
- 7 CIP
CIP skid sized to the longest circuit and your cleaning window.

From our workshop
From enquiry to commissioning
- You send your requirements
Raw material, target product, capacity, local voltage and frequency, heating source and destination port. If you are not sure about some of these, tell us what you do know.
- We send a process proposal
A process flow, an equipment list with specifications, a suggested layout and a quotation. If more than one configuration makes sense, we explain the trade-off instead of sending one option.
- We manufacture and test
Fabrication, welding, polishing and assembly in our own workshop. Standard machines ship in 20 days; a complete line in 40–45 days.
- Installation and training
Our engineers travel to site — typically 4 days for installation, commissioning and operator training. Travel and accommodation are covered by the buyer.
Questions buyers ask
Do you manufacture every machine in the line?
No, and we say so in the quotation. We manufacture tanks, heat treatment, fermentation and CIP equipment. Components such as homogenisers, separators, boilers and fillers are specified from established suppliers and integrated into the line, and each is identified as bought-in.
How long does a complete line take?
Manufacturing a complete line takes 40–45 days from order confirmation, plus shipping. On-site installation and commissioning typically takes 4 days for single machines; a full line is scheduled with you once the layout is agreed.
