Tetra Pak Launches Next Gen Beverage Pasteurizer

By Canadian Packaging Staff   

General Tetra Pak Tetra Therm Aseptic Drink

Tetra Pak has recently launched the new generation of Tetra Therm Aseptic Drink, a cost-efficient and flexible unit for processing a wide range of beverages—juices and nectars, still drinks, tea drinks and enhanced water. Thanks to the introduction of an advanced automation system, the new generation units secure unsurpassed operational efficiency and life-cycle performance.

The Tetra Therm Aseptic Drink pasteurizers enable beverage producers to cut water consumption by up to 80 per cent, energy by up to 30 per cent and product losses by up to 30 per cent, compared to other solutions on the market. This gives higher operational efficiency and lower environmental impact.

Features include:

  • Automatically identifies deviations in process parameters enabling immediate operator action to maintain optimized operation;
  • Provides automatic notification of every maintenance requirement, helping all but eliminate costly unplanned production stops;
  • Cuts in water consumption: The closed cooling circuit in the deaerator and closed water system for the vacuum pump reduce water consumption by up to 80 per cent;
  • Cuts in energy consumption: Improved heat recovery and efficient heat transfer, through a double hot-water circuit in the tubular heat exchanger, can reduce energy consumption by up to 30 per cent;
  • Cuts in product losses: Product losses reduced by up to 30 per cent, thanks to the vessel and valve design and a product return recovery system in which the product in the return pipe is pushed back into the balance tank when it is time to stop production. The improved mix phase control, in which instrumentation measures product change-over, reduces product losses further cuts in environmental impact. This is the result of significantly less energy and water consumption and reduced product losses..
