Blending tailored to need
Today’s wide and ever-changing beverage universe makes flexibility crucial. Tetra Pak® In-line Blender B allows you to combine up to 10 ingredient streams that can handle everything from standard scale to minimal dosing (10l/h), low to high viscosities, and even alcoholic ingredients. Tetra Pak® In-line Blender B offers a simple way to tailor your blending platform to your recipe needs.
Deaerator
Enables carbonation
A deaerator is a needed in order to carbonate a product. Our deaerator uses a packed bed solution - unlike traditional models that circulate water over a double vessel vacuum system. This eliminates the need for a further pump for circulation and gas injection in order to reach the required oxygen content.
Pressurized tank
Keeps the bubbles in the system
How do you make sure the bubbles in your carbonated product don’t disappear? Maintaining the product under high pressure in the pressurized tank ensures that the carbon dioxide – which is dissolved in the product – does not disperse into the air. This tank also doubles up as a buffer tank and holds product safely during filling machine downtime.
Automatic Mass Compensation
Keeps your process on target
AMC is the software that controls the amount of ingredients being added to Tetra Pak® In-line Blender B, and ensures that the outgoing Brix level is correct throughout its run time. At the start, when the Brix values of added ingredients such as syrup and concentrate are known, the amount required in each ingredient stream is calculated. If the amount added during production differs from this, the AMC instantly corrects it. Since checks occur 4-5 times per second, you can rest assured your process is on target.
Built-in eco vacuum pump
Reduces water consumption
With the help of a built-in eco vacuum pump, the deaerator system works at very low pressure to reduce oxygen levels down to 0.5 ppm. Through the reuse of seal water, it successfully reduces the equipment’s water consumption to just 600l/h.
