Best-practice Line Solutions for Coconut Products
Best-practice Line Solutions
Coconut products are highly susceptible to chemical and biochemical spoilage, like lipid oxidation. As such, it is important to understand your requirements on raw material, shelf life, processing, packaging solutions and distribution – all of which greatly impact the overall quality. We believe that your optimal solution is one that matches your specific production needs today and for the future – to make you more innovative, more effective and more competitive.
Coconut Milk & Coconut Water Line
Tetra Pak lines maintain the natural flavour and nutrition of coconut milk & water. The key thing is to prevent oxygen coming into contact with enzymes in the product, as that causes discolouration. For example, this can be achieved by using a hermetic separator and a nitrogen barrier.
Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) Line
Virgin coconut oil is a sensitive product – oxygen contact renders the oil rancid while high temperature causes discolouration and flavour changes. Tetra Pak® separators with AirTight™ design ensures no additional oxygen contact to preserve antioxidants in the product. Moreover, AirTight™ separators can operate at lower temperature with the same efficiency, in order to achieve the highest product quality.
Line Solution Key Enabler: VTIS
Tetra Therm® Aseptic VTIS direct UHT treatment unit
System for continuous direct UHT treatment of liquid food products under aseptic conditions
Tetra Therm® Aseptic VTIS has long represented state-of-the-art direct UHT processing of premium quality, aseptic products. It is an aseptic processing unit for continuous UHT treatment with direct steam injection. Mainly for heat-sensitive low-acid products such as milk, enriched milk, cream, soy milk, formulated dairy products, ice-cream mix, dairy desserts as well as ESL (extended shelf life) products. The process is also suitable for smooth products like soups, sauces, non-dairy cream and other starch-based products and can handle smaller particles.
Capacity: 2,000 l/h to 30 000 l/h (variable capacity 1:2 is standard)
Applications: Milk, enriched milk, cream, soymilk, formulated dairy products, ice-cream mix, extended shelf life (ESL) products, dairy desserts, non-dairy cream, and smooth soups and sauces.
Features
• Steam is injected rapidly into the product, instant heating it from 80° to the UHT temperature, followed by condensation (only 0.1 seconds) and temperature equilibrium. The combination of a high sterilization temperature and a short heating time ensures that microorganisms and spores are deactivated with minimal impact on the product's taste and colour. The process also involves very low fouling, which in turn means outstanding clean-ability, less downtime for cleaning and overall lower cleaning costs
• Flash cooling within the condenser equipped vacuum vessel minimizes product loses and allows for efficient operation and maintenance
• Equipped with a floating protection system allows for thermal expansion, giving a longer lifetime and exceptional efficiency
• Achieve longer running times with the automatic damper
Line Solution Key Enabler: Separator
Tetra Pak® Separators
Ensure high capacity and efficient performance
Smooth product treatment results in greater skimming efficiency and reduced energy consumption. The separators maintain the quality of your products by preventing air from entering the process.
Hot Milk Capacity: 7,000 l/h to 75,000 l/h
Cold Milk Capacity: 10,000 l/h to 50,000 l/h
Operational Efficiency: Unmatched flexibility (capacity and recipe range), superior separation efficiency with AirTight Technology
Applications: Clarification & Separation; Milk, Whey, Tea, Coffee, Virgin Coconut Oil. Dairy milk spore removal, AMF, separation & concentration. Coconut water separation and more.
AirTight™ Technology
The AirTight™ technology features a completely filled separator bowl. An advanced inlet and outlet design ensures gentle treatment during the entire separation process which also results in superior efficiency. Provides excellent product quality since hermetic seals prevent intake of destructive air. Tetra Pak separators are designed for unmatched flexibility in both capacity and recipe range.
Features
• Hermetic inlet seals provide superior separation and energy efficiency
• Hollow spindle for gentle treatment that safeguards product quality and ensures that the size of fat globules and particles are maintained
• Increase bowl lifetime due to use of a steel quality with corrosion resistance bowl
• The product exists the separator via hermetic outlet seals which prevents overflow, unwanted mixing and air entering the machine
• Use of product discharge pumps makes it possible to run a wide rage of capacities in the same machine without mechanical alterations – enabling flexibility and increasing energy efficiency
Options
Encapt™ technology which cuts energy consumption by up to 40% compared to other separators (based on a production scenario of hot milk skimming at 55 000 l/h including feed and booster pumps)
INSTAL Module decreasing installation time arriving assembled and pre-tested ready for production
