Quick facts
Unit for automatic in-line aseptic dosing of added ingredients to an aseptic product
Capacity
Dosing range 5 – 150 l/h
Applications
Enzymes such as lactase, vitamins, flavours, colours, salt, rennet, i.e. products not suitable for sterilisation by heat.
Cost efficient aseptic dosing
- One process step is removed when going from batch to inline dosing, thereby reducing equipment and running costs.
- Ingredients savings - since dosing takes place after heating it eliminates the need for overdosing
- Excellent quality end product thanks to low heat load, high dosing precision and repeatability
Features
Aseptic inline dosing
Ingredients savings
In this system, the ingredients are aseptically treated prior to dosing. This means they do not require heating. Any costly ingredients therefore maintain their original properties, which means smaller quantities of ingredient are needed to get the same result.
Product quality control
Twice the shelf life
In the production of UHT lactose reduced milk, aseptic dosing means less lactase is added to the product, and this in turn means less sugar content in the milk. Less sugar content reduces the browning of the milk(caused by the Maillard reaction) and it typically doubles product shelf life from 3 to 6 months.
Expert dosing service
Support successful implementation
With two decades experience accumulated experience, Tetra Pak®'s aseptic dosing specialists can help you evaluate the suitability of ingredients (type and quality) and provide guidelines regarding the correct filter for each application. At certain of Tetra Pak®'s Product Development Centres a Tetra Pak® Aseptic Dosing unit E is installed for product trials.
Filter supervision and control system
Safeguards aseptic conditions
A self-supervising system controls the pressure and temperature of the filters in order to safeguard aseptic conditions (and filter running time). It is equipped with a monitoring system to ensure that the sterile filter is intact after the sterilization phase and ready for production.
