The company’s former homogenizer dated back to the 1970s. Naturally, Premier Is didn’t want to jeopardize a whole season’s production – high season for ice cream runs between January and June – due to a break-down of this faithful, but old, servant. When shopping for a new homogenizer, the company had three main criteria: quality, price and support and know-how.
“What set Tetra Pak apart from the other suppliers was that they gave us the full package, including support and advice on how to adapt the recipe for use with a new homogenizer,” says Martin Engberg Christiansen, Production Manager at Premier Is.
Starting up the new machine was easy – it was smooth production from day one. As for the energy consumption, it was reduced by 24 percent. This was achieved by decreasing the pressure of the homogenizer by 20-30 bars per recipe. In addition, Premier Is is also making savings on spare parts. Parts inside the machine can be reused: by first using them on one side and then flipping them around, the lifetime of the parts is doubled.
