Ready made broths and stocks are an easy way to add the extra goodness that turns an ordinary meal into something special. They are ideal for single-person households and busy families as they are convenient, quick to serve and inexpensive.

WHAT OUR SOLUTIONS DO FOR YOU
Soups are classified into three groups: clear soups, thick soups and chunky soups. Clear soups are usually bouillon and consommé. Thick soups are classified depending upon the type of thickening agent used. Chunky soups are soups containing chopped or whole ingredients, such as meat, vegetables or pasta. No matter what soup you are looking to produce, Tetra Pak® can help.

Tetra Therm® Aseptic VTIS direct UHT treatment unit
System for continuous direct UHT treatment of liquid food products under aseptic conditions
Tetra Therm® Aseptic VTIS has long represented state-of-the-art direct UHT processing of premium quality, aseptic products. It is an aseptic processing unit for continuous UHT treatment with direct steam injection. Mainly for heat-sensitive low-acid products such as milk, enriched milk, cream, soy milk, formulated dairy products, ice-cream mix, dairy desserts as well as ESL (extended shelf life) products. The process is also suitable for smooth products like soups, sauces, non-dairy cream and other starch-based products and can handle smaller particles.
Capacity: 2,000 l/h to 30 000 l/h (variable capacity 1:2 is standard)
Applications: Milk, enriched milk, cream, soymilk, formulated dairy products, ice-cream mix, extended shelf life (ESL) products, dairy desserts, non-dairy cream, and smooth soups and sauces.
Features
• Steam is injected rapidly into the product, instantly heating it from 80° to the UHT temperature, followed by condensation (only 0.1 seconds) and temperature equilibrium. The combination of a high sterilization temperature and a short heating time ensures that microorganisms and spores are deactivated with minimal impact on the product's taste and colour. The process also involves very low fouling, which in turn means outstanding clean-ability, less downtime for cleaning and overall lower cleaning costs.
• Flash cooling within the condenser equipped vacuum vessel minimizes product loses and allows for efficient operation and maintenance
• Equipped with a floating protection system allows for thermal expansion, giving a longer lifetime and exceptional efficiency
• Achieve longer running times with the automatic damper
