NATIVE PROTEIN PRESERVATION

TruActive® powered by ultraviolet light.

A patented UV cold pasteurization process that preserves whole-source milk protein the way nature made it.


No heat. No compromise.

01 — Nutrition

UV light travels poorly through opaque liquids. The Turbulator solves this with a thin-film, high-turbulence flow path: fluid moves at 5 metres per second through a tube wrapping a UV lamp, exposing the entire cross-section to a lethal dose. It is the only process proven to pasteurize turbid fluids cold.

Conventional thermal pasteurization and spray drying destroy the proteins that matter most. UV does not — leaving immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, and growth factors intact.

Modular. Scalable. Plug and play.

01 — Dairy

Skim Milk Pasteurization

Cold pasteurization of skim milk at processor scale.

Throughput 48,000 l/hr

Flow rate ~212 GPM

Turbulators 96 · 12 × 8

Form factor Vertically stackable

Every system is built from banks of Turbulators. Add banks to raise throughput or target a higher log reduction — the same hardware scales from an inline CIP loop to full processor-scale pasteurization.

02 — Dairy

Whey
Processing

Cold pasteurization of whey streams for high-value ingredients.

Throughput 20,000 l/hr

Flow rate ~88 GPM

Turbulators 20 · 5 × 4

Form factor Compact mid-scale

03 — Process water

Brine /
Wash Water

Inline sanitization of brine or whey wash water for reuse.

Throughput 8,000–10,000 l/hr

93%

The difference is measurable.

Over 93% of raw milk's immune-active proteins survive UV cold pasteurization. Independent testing found conventional thermal products retain just 8%.

More pathogens eliminated. Never heated.

Independent log-reduction testing shows UV meeting and far exceeding HTST across every major pathogen — including H5N1 avian influenza.
