UHPH adapts to any pumpable fluid. From the finest wine to the most demanding pharmaceutical products.
The versatility of UHPH technology is one of its most powerful attributes. Unlike other processing technologies with very specific applications, UHPH can be applied to virtually any pumpable liquid, spanning sectors as diverse as enology, the dairy industry, pharmaceuticals, or cosmetics. SIVIT works with its clients to identify the exact point in the process where UHPH adds the most value.
Wine and Cava
Less sulfites. More expression. Commercial stability without thermal effects.
The wine industry is facing one of its greatest challenges: responding to the demand for more natural wines with fewer additives, without compromising microbiological safety or product shelf life. UHPH offers a unique answer to this challenge.
Applications in wine and cava:
- Must treatment — inactivation of unwanted microorganisms and oxidative enzymes (PPO) without affecting aromatic compounds, reducing or eliminating the use of SO2 from the start of the process.
- Stabilization of finished wines — commercial sterilization that allows for a drastic reduction in the presence of Brettanomyces and other spoilage microorganisms, with documented reductions of more than 6 log cycles†.
- Wines with no or low sulfite content — UHPH acts as an alternative or complement to sulfitation, allowing for the production of wines with ‘no added sulfites’ or with minimal levels.
- Cavas and sparkling wines — stabilization of the base wine before the second fermentation, improving process predictability and sterilization of the must for tirage, allowing the winery to use its own must for the second fermentation.
- Organic and biodynamic wines — full compatibility with organic and clean label certifications.
Key benefits for wineries:
- Reduction of costs in stabilization treatments.
- Less dependence on enological inputs (sulfites, preservatives).
- Opening of new markets: natural, low-sulfite, and organic wine consumers.
- Improvement of microbiological stability for export.
