Benefits

Tetra Pak® Industrial Protein Mixer solves the problem of foaming when mixing any liquid food protein source, including high-viscous ingredients. It raises product quality in protein food and beverage processing, and by eliminating all unwanted foaming, it lowers product losses and reduces downstream equipment cleaning and the need for maintenance.

 

Quick facts

  • Fully automated, with advanced sensor-based control
  • Multiple models for scaling according to need
  • Capacities from small batches to 50,000 litres per hour

The next evolution in protein mixing

Dealing with foam in our business can be both messy and costly1, especially when producing low fat food products combined with protein where foam often creates an overflow during mixing leading to expensive product loss and downtime in production. But wait no more….our innovative Tetra Pak Industrial Protein Mixer eliminates those problems! Watch this video to discover how it is done.

Features

Low-air powder handling system

Low-air powder handling system

Minimize air ingress when powder enters mixer

The powder handling system configures the hopper to minimize air ingress as powder enters the mixer. Vibrations reduce air content and “rat holes” in the powder. Automatic control of the vacuum effect at the top of the mixer further facilitates smooth transfer of the powder from hopper to mixer.

No-foam inlet

No-foam inlet

Introduces liquid product gently into mixing tank

The no-foam inlet introduces liquid product gently into the mixing tank. Product enters either along the tank wall or from the tank base, depending on the product and its characteristics. This flexibility helps eliminate unnecessary foaming during product ingress.

Dynamic baffle

Dynamic baffle

Controls vortex caused by tank agitators

A purpose-designed dynamic baffle at the base of the mixer controls or even blocks the vortex caused by mixing tank agitators. Effective vortex control minimizes air ingress into the mix and prevents foaming.

Smart foam monitoring sensors

Smart foam monitoring sensors

Maximum vacuum, minimum foam

Smart sensors inside the mixing tank regulate the vacuum effect, enabling suction to be reduced as and when foam arises and keeping unwanted foaming constantly in check.

Patented outlet filter

Patented outlet filter

Stops any undissolved lumps continuing downstream

The patented outlet filter catches any undissolved lumps, preventing them from progressing downstream. Lumps then return to the mix for continued processing. This makes it possible to regulate mixing intensity to avoid miniaturized air bubbles while still dissolving all powder.

1Typical production scenario based on on-site experience of customers’ protein powder processing. Assumes 300 working days per year, a 35,000kg batch size, 4 batches per day and a 6 EUR/kg DM product cost. Savings are made up of a) foam overflow in mixing phase typically costs €100,000+ per year in product losses, b) product also lost to increased burn-on during heat treatment, c) higher CIP and cleaning downtime costs and d) increased spare part and maintenance costs.
