Ultra-High-Temperature Short-Time Experimental Studies on Fluid Milk Products. Experimental Equipment

Two beaters have been used to experimentally sterilize small quantities of fluid milk products. The Mallow tubular heater has a capacity of 200 gal/hr and a product flowrate of 23 ft/see, but it can be increased to 300 gal/hr. Sections of this heater can be used either as pre-heating, heating' or holding tubes for a calculated time of 2.08 see. each, and they are at, curate and efficient, due to the high ratio of length to diameter (2,296:1). The products can be homogenized either before or after sterilization, or both, and ow~,r a range of tempe, ratures and pressures.
