    MicroThermics Wins IFT Industrial Achievement Award

    May 26, 2011
    MicroThermics Inc., a leading supplier of laboratory and small-scale aseptic processors and pasteurizers for fluid products, today announced that it received the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) 2011 Food Technology Industrial Achievement Award for its laboratory-scale UHT/HTST Direct-Indirect Process System (DIP) with Full Automation.

    MicroThermics Inc., a leading supplier of laboratory and small-scale aseptic processors and pasteurizers for fluid products, today announced that it received the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) 2011 Food Technology Industrial Achievement Award for its laboratory-scale UHT/HTST Direct-Indirect Process System (DIP) with Full Automation. The use of their process simulator significantly reduces the time-to-market, the costs associated with developing and processing new products, and results in advanced quality, safety, and efficiency of food product production.

    This system is unique because it enables researchers to process products at truly plant processing conditions using indirect, and steam injection processing. It is currently being used to develop foods including juices, yogurts puddings, milks, and milk replacements such as soymilk or rice milks.

    “Simulating actual plant conditions in the lab, such as heating and cooling, in-line processes, hold times, etc., is critical in product development. Inaccuracy in laboratory processing costs companies dearly in terms of time and money. As Steam injection gained popularity with the advent of protein drinks and milk replacements such as soymilk, our clients needed to be able to conduct indirect processing AND steam injection. As a result, we developed this processor to simulate actual plant conditions and enable them to work with these processing methods quickly, easily, and accurately,” says David Miles, VP of MicroThermics, Inc.

    MicroThermics offers a wide range processing equipment and Miniature Plant Trial Services to create samples of juices, yogurts, soymilks, puddings, sauces, and more. The 2011 DIPW processor combines indirect & steam injection processing (w/vacuum cooling) into one machine, enabling researchers to evaluate the effects of either style process on product quality and fouling. This processor has multiple heating & cooling styles, a unique central connection panel and a hold tube bank providing unparalleled flexibility. Additionally, it works with any of their options including Touch-screen PLC Control & Data Logging Package, Plate Heat Exchangers, In-Line Homogenizer, Ultra-Clean Filler, Feed/Mix Tanks and more.
