Abstract
Continuous system and procedure of sterilization and physical stabilization of pumpable fluids, food, or other type of fluids, through ultra-high pressure homogenization (UHPH) includes a first heat exchangerwhich preheats the fluid at temperature Tbetween 40 and 90° C.; an ultra-homogenizerthrough which fluid at temperature Tis introduced at a pressure Pbetween 200 and 600 MPa increasing its temperature up to a final value T. A second heat exchangerhas its cooling temperature adjusted at value T. An aseptic tankreceives the cooled down fluid at value T, from which it is pumped by sterile air pressure into an aseptic packaging machine, for the packaging of the final product.
