MT-A2 UHPH Simultaneous Sterillization and Homogenization(Non-thermal)

MORIKUSUTA TECHNOLOGIES Ultra-High Pressure Homogenization/Sterilization (Non-thermal)

Ultra-High Pressure Homogenization/Sterilization Technology

Ultra-high pressure homogenization/sterilization, also known as UHPH, is an innovative technology that enables the simultaneous sterilization and homogenization of beverages and other liquid products without compromising their original properties. Among its key applications, this process ensures product integrity while achieving microbial inactivation and particle size reduction.

The system operates at maximum working pressures of up to 3500 bar. Its principle relies on physical forces such as friction, shear, cavitation, turbulence, and impact generated within a specialized valve. These forces disrupt microorganisms and reduce particle size, resulting in physically stable, commercially sterile products with extended shelf life—all achieved at room temperature. UHPH preserves the original characteristics of the product.

With energy consumption approximately 50% lower than other processing technologies currently used in the beverage industry (such as HPP or high hydrostatic pressure), and based on a modular system, UHPH technology can achieve processing capacities of up to 50,000 liters per hour. The innovative nature of UHPH lies in its integrated system design, which encompasses all necessary steps for the continuous high-pressure sterilization and homogenization of liquid products while preventing any thermal damage. This is further enhanced by the unique design of the ultra-homogenization valve.

The UHPH production line enables simultaneous sterilization and homogenization of pumpable fluids through continuous ultra-high pressure treatment.

It is suitable for sterilizing and homogenizing non-particulate pumpable liquids, including beverages such as juice, milk, plant-based milk, smoothies, as well as broths and sauces. It also applies to liquid food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products. The technology ensures commercially sterile products with extended ambient-temperature shelf life while maintaining original qualities due to the absence of thermal damage. It is particularly well-suited for producing finely stable emulsions, as well as natural beverages and high-value functional foods, as UHPH preserves nutritional and sensory properties without the need for additives or preservatives. Additionally, UHPH can be used for encapsulating active compounds.

All ultra-high pressure units supplied by MORIKUSUTA TECHNOLOGIES are designed for energy efficiency, maximum durability of components, and operational safety. They can be operated by a single person, significantly reducing labor costs.
