FT94LT HTST/UHT Mini Pilot System

Due to the increased demands from Marketing departments, food and beverage manufacturers’ R&D teams are required to prepare increasingly larger volumes of sample product. As a result, Armfield Ltd has developed the new FT94LT Mini Pilot System complete with Tubular Heat Exchanger. FT94LT is a cost effective HTST/UHT processing system, based on a tubular heat exchanger only, with a range of options including data logging, to tailor the product to your requirements.

Pre-heating by vacuum steam enables you to work with a range of products with various viscosities with ease. The higher flow rate allows processing of large batches of product for extensive product testing. The system can be linked to an In-line Homogeniser (FT91) and Sterile Filler (FT83) to create a complete sterile process line in the laboratory.

The new FT94LT is capable of throughputs of 30 to 100 L/H, and process temperatures up to 150°, yet can operate with as little as 15 litre process batches. The system is PLC controlled, with a high resolution TFT 20cm colour touch screen panel with multiple pre-sets, making it extremely user-friendly to configure and monitor processing parameters at every stage.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the FT94LT Mini Pilot System is suitable for a wide range of applications, from fruit juices to ice cream, and pet food to pharmaceuticals.

Thailand is famous for its unique and delicious cuisine. In recognition of this, the country will be the proud sponsor of two big food exhibitions in Bangkok this year: ‘Food ingredients Asia 2011’ and ‘Food Processing and Packaging Asia 2011.’

The shows are organised by UBM (www.ubm.com) in conjunction with The Food Science and Technology Association of Thailand, The National Food Institute, Food Processing Industry Club, The Federation of Thai Industries and the Thai Food Processors Association.

“Food ingredients Asia is now a major event that features the latest technology and ingredients,” said Mr Manu Leopairote, Chairman of UBM Asia (Thailand) “In addition to enhancing the nutritional value of food, the show displays creativity by improving taste, aroma and appearance in imaginative ways.”

Today the Thai food industry has become a huge enterprise and is expected to grow more than 8% to around 22 billion USD in 2011. Entrepreneurs in the business will witness the latest innovations and ingredients introduced by over 400 exhibitors who will arrive from more than 30 countries. The event is expected to generate over a billion Baht in new business.

Armfield Ltd is delighted to be exhibiting at this prestigious event, where we will have on display the FT74X HTST/UHT Unit for Processing Liquid Foods. Come and find out more about our brand new FT94LT Mini Pilot System that we will be launching at the show.
