Features
Tetra Pak® High Shear Mixer
Optimal emulsification and hydration
Tetra Pak® High Shear Mixer brings you the very best in high shear mixing to provide uniform, air-free mixing and deliver the optimal emulsification and hydration of the ice cream mix.
Tetra Pak® Heat Exchanger
Maximum heat recovery with cost efficiency
Tetra Pak® Plate Heat Exchanger handles the pasteurization process smoothly and effectively. The unit is designed for maximum heat recovery and to keep operating costs low. It is built to the highest sustainability standards to minimize carbon footprint throughout the process.
Pasteurizer diversion function
For full product safety at every step
To assure product safety and avert any risk of cross-contamination during the pasteurization process, a diversion function monitors product temperature before and after the holding cell to ensure correct temperature, recycling any non-pasteurized product back to the pasteurizer for reprocessing.
A climbing holding cell ensures stable flow to minimize any risk of trapped air.
Options
High shear vacuum mixing
For high viscosities and air-free mixing
Tetra Pak® High Shear Mixer can be equipped with a vacuum to enable faster powder intake and the handling of higher viscosities of up to 50,000 cP. The result: more efficient mixing and even less air incorporation in the mix.
Differential pressure supervision with direct activation
For full control and maximum product safety
A pressure supervision function can be added to deliver higher pressure on the downstream side. Any loss in differential pressure is reported and triggers a direct pressure activation intervention.
