Tetra Pak to Share Revolutionary Approach to Beverage Line Design and More at 2022 Pack Expo

Solution cuts energy use by more than half, creates homogenous mixtures four to six times faster than conventional technologies

DENTON, Texas (October 11, 2022) – Showgoers at the 2022 PACK EXPO International exhibition Oct. 23-26 will be able to see game-changing mixing technology firsthand at Tetra Pak Booth S-2140 in McCormick Place’s South Building. Additionally, they’ll have the opportunity to learn about new solutions to evolve beverage production lines to better meet today’s challenges.

“Effective beverage production must meet shifts in consumption; more complex recipes; new and varied ingredients; and a growing demand for sustainability,” said Richard Chapman, manager for liquid food solutions and beverages, Tetra Pak U.S. and Canada. “Flexibility and energy-smart technologies are at the heart of the Tetra Pak beverage production line offerings we’re highlighting at PACK EXPO.”

Tetra Pak will display a working radial jet mixer in its booth, a component of the Tetra Pak® Preparation system B, a complete standardized system for final syrup and beverage preparation.

The mixer allows for supreme flexibility while ensuring homogenous distribution through the liquid’s own turbulence, in a fraction of the time. Benefits include:

• Flexibility – mix batches from 10% to 100% of tank volume
• Reduced maintenance – no moving parts inside the tank 
• Improved CIP performance – reduced CIP time and CIP media consumption 
• Fully scalable and modular design to accommodate future production

In addition to the radial jet mixer, Tetra Pak smart mixing solutions can be fitted with low-cost devices that create a high shear zone for production of low concentrations of gums and stabilizers found in soft drinks.

Expo attendees also are invited to join an educational session hosted by Chapman:
