PLANT BASED DAIRY ALTERNATIVES
SPX FLOW
Innovative nutritious beverages from a single process line
SPX FLOW has developed a new,
cost-effective, and efficient solution
to meet the growing demand
for high quality beverages with
particles such as wheat, oats, rice,
nut pieces, or fruit. Based on Tubular
UHT technology, the Drinkable Grains
solution provides a single process line
solution with up to 40% less cost than
alternative processing methods.
The SPX FLOW system requires
just one aseptic tank and one UHT
skid. It produces a compact, low
cost installation with optimized energy
usage, reduced CIP and minimized
waste. As the system uses
a special Tubular UHT technology,
it can handle much larger particle
sizes than traditional methods.
This design ensures a gentle process
that protects them from damage
or maceration. This ensures a
thicker, more nutritious, premium
quality final product.
A single processing line provides
a simpler, more compact production
method than traditional dual line concepts
used for processing beverages
with fruit, nut, or grain particles. Grains
are added in-line after the homogenizer
and the liquid and particles are
then continuously mixed together before
being processed through the UHT
system. The design ensures blending
accuracy and stability for consistent,
high quality results. spx.com
