Abstract
Deposits formed in different sections of a pilot‐scale plant during ultra‐high temperature (UHT) processing of milk were studied over a 12‐month period. A twofold range in efficient process run time was found. Deposits formed in the lower temperature (80–110°C) section at a constant rate, irrespective of milk composition. The run time was determined almost entirely by deposits formed in the steam‐heated section (110–140°C) and these varied greatly in composition and rate of formation throughout the year. To increase run time in commercial practice it is suggested that attempts should be made to reduce mineral deposition in the high temperature section of the plant.
