YC-02 Laboratory Mini Ultra-High-Temperature Sterilizer
Product Introduction
The YC-02 Laboratory Mini Ultra-High-Temperature (UHT) Sterilizer is a compact pilot-scale liquid food thermal processing system developed for universities, research institutes, and R&D laboratories in the dairy, beverage, flavor, and related food industries.
The system is designed to simulate industrial production conditions on a laboratory scale and can be operated independently or connected to a computer through a USB interface. With a rated capacity of 20–25 L/h, adjustable flow, a minimum sample volume of 3–5 L, and sterilization temperatures up to 150°C, the YC-02 is suitable for automated thermal treatment research of liquid food products under both aseptic and non-aseptic conditions.
The system supports a wide range of product viscosities and can handle products containing fibers and particles. It integrates heating, cooling, pumping, temperature control, pressure monitoring, CIP, and optional SIP functions into a self-contained system. A homogenizer and aseptic filling chamber can also be configured according to research requirements.

Performance Features
•  Pilot-scale industrial simulation: Designed to reproduce key industrial UHT processing conditions for laboratory product development.
• 20–25 L/h rated capacity: Adjustable flow range supports flexible experimental operation.
•  Small sample requirement: Minimum sample processing volume is only 3–5 L, reducing material consumption during development.
• Up to 150°C processing temperature: PID temperature control provides precise temperature regulation with a control accuracy of ±0.5°C.
•  Flexible holding time: Standard options include 3, 5, 10, and 30 seconds, with 300 seconds available as an option.
•  PLC + touchscreen control: Large color LCD touchscreen provides intuitive monitoring and operation.
•  Fast and normal modes: Fast mode provides one-touch automatic operation, while normal mode allows manual adjustment of process parameters.
• Process animation: Dynamic process graphics clearly display operating status and process flow.
•  Data export: Experimental data can be transferred to a USB drive or printed; temperature curves and related data can be saved for further processing.
•  Automatic and manual control: Operators can switch between automatic and manual operation according to experimental requirements.
•  Integrated CIP: The built-in German SEEPEX screw pump supports online CIP and self-CIP, helping reduce secondary contamination.
•  SIP function: Supports steam-in-place processing.
• No-material protection: An empty-product alarm automatically stops the screw pump when insufficient material is detected.
• Integrated heating and cooling: Built-in hot-water generation and cooling systems simplify laboratory operation.
• Pressure monitoring: Pipeline pressure is displayed accurately on the touchscreen.
•  Stainless-steel construction: The entire system is manufactured from high-quality stainless steel for hygienic laboratory processing.
•  Optional downstream equipment: A homogenizer and aseptic filling chamber can be configured according to R&D requirements.

Working Principle
The YC-02 uses a controlled continuous-flow thermal processing principle. Liquid product is delivered through the system by a screw pump and passes through tubular preheating sections before entering the high-temperature processing stage.
The product is heated by circulating hot water generated by the integrated high-temperature hot-water system. PID temperature control continuously regulates the process temperature, while the holding section maintains the product at the preset sterilization temperature for the selected holding time.
After thermal treatment, the product passes through the cooling section and is cooled by water to a temperature approaching ambient conditions, with the minimum specified cooling temperature reaching 5°C.
Pipeline pressure is monitored by pressure sensors, while back-pressure and flow-direction valves help control process conditions. The system can perform automatic or manual operation and provides online CIP and SIP functions for process-line cleaning and sanitation.
