Tetra Pak Launches the World’s Highest Capacity Homogenizer
22 Mar 2016 --- Tetra Pak have announced that the world’s largest capacity food processing homogenizer has gone into operation with its first customer. The Tetra Pak Homogenizer 500 can produce up to 63,600 liters per hour, offering outstanding product quality at the lowest operational cost available.
In addition, the lower operating pressure means lower wear. Coupled with a design that allows easy service access, the Tetra Pak Homogenizer 500 offers the highest uptime for customers in the market. Like all aseptic Tetra Pak homogenizers, the machine also uses 80% less cooling water and 70% less steam compared to many alternative brands.
Anders Karlsson, Technical Director, Tetra Pak Group, told FoodIngredientsFirst: “When designing the new machine, our biggest challenge was to ensure it delivered the same homogenizing efficiency as other Tetra Pak machines on the market while having a large capacity of 63,000 litres per hour. By utilizing our technology expertise, our unique patent homogenizing technology, and data gathered through many years of working closely with our customers, we successfully overcame this potential limitation in design.”
“We expect the Tetra Pak Homogenizer 500 to help customers who are looking to expand their processing capacity, this is particularly relevant for customers in markets such as China, Brazil and the US,” says Karlsson.
Karlsson adds: “Launching the world’s largest capacity homogenizer means that our customers can achieve significant economies of scale, producing more for a lower cost per liter. This is vital for dairy and beverage producers seeking to meet growing consumer demand.”
