Benefits
Tetra Pak® Preparation System B-ES is a complete island solution for final syrup and beverage preparation. Its unique modular design supports product innovation by being flexibly upgradable to handle new products and capacities as production needs evolve.
Capacity:
From batches of 2000 to 4000 litres/hour to high-speed continuous production of 70 000 litres/hour. Up to a max. batch viscosity of 200 cP.
Applications:
Can produce any beverage – juices, nectars, still drinks, carbonated soft drinks, energy drinks, syrups, plant-based, functional and dairy drinks. Even with challenging ingredients like gums, stabilisers or thickeners.
A versatile island solution for final syrup and beverage preparation
- A highly versatile solution that can handle the final preparation of a complete range of syrups and beverages, meeting every production need with outstanding product quality.
- Designed for reducing product losses, and water and energy consumption. Compared to a traditional system with agitators and high shear pump, the Tetra Pak® Preparation System B-ES enables annual savings of up to 29% in waste, 69% in steam, and 60% in electricity, thanks to centralised CIP and mixing efficiency.*
- An island solution that supports product innovation by being flexibly upgradable to handle new products and new capacities as production needs evolve.

Features
Radial jet mixer technology
Ultra-effective mixing with high energy efficiency
The radial jet mixer nozzle forces liquid at high speed into the tank and creates turbulence for agitation. This avoids the disadvantages of a mechanical agitator, which increases air incorporation to create foaming. Particles do not sink and collect at the bottom because of the turbulence created by the nozzle. It’s also reassuring to know that the nozzle does not create high shear. This helps to preserve product quality.
Injector technology
Immediate wetting at point of entry
Wetting of powders begins immediately in the injector. The unique design allows us to create a vacuum due to the Venturi effect, so ingredients are sucked into the mixer at the point of entry. When powder is poured into the top of a tank, undissolved powder can sink to the bottom and lead to clogging over time. Our innovative injector and radial jet mixer technology avoid clogging and enable fast in-feed of powder and liquids.
Four different tank sizes
Multiple tank sizes for supreme batch size flexibility
Four different tank sizes – 10 000, 16 500, 25 000 and 45 000 litres – enable multiple batch sizes from 10-100% tank filling volume. Batch sizes range from a low-speed carton line of 2000 to 4000 litres per hour to a high-speed carbonated soft drinks line of 70 000 litres per hour.
Options
Auto mixing device
Handle challenging ingredients like gums – and cut energy use
An auto mixing device (AMD) is a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative to a high shear pump when dissolving challenging ingredients like gums, stabilisers and thickeners. Our AMD can handle gum concentrations of up to 1% at 20°C that traditionally would require a high shear pump. The AMD consumes 60% less energy than a high shear pump and has a much lower investment cost.
