TETRA PAK PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT CENTRES

What would happen if you increased homogenization pressure or changed the temperature? How do you go from a retort process to a UHT process… or from a batch process to a continuous process?

Tetra Pak Product Development Centres

Test your ideas – with the help from experts

Our Product Development Centres around the world have various kinds of test equipment, including processing, packaging & powder handling machinery. They are staffed by experts who understand how your ingredients will respond to different processes, and who know how to make products your consumers will appreciate.

Our skilled Tetra Pak food technologists and process engineers are always ready to assist you with new product development challenges. Equipped with a thorough understanding of how ingredients respond to different processing methods, they can help you adapt product recipes for new markets, find smarter processing solutions, make better use of expensive raw ingredients or simply satisfy your consumers’ desire for new taste experiences.

Travel-free product trials

Our Lund PDC offers real-time, high-resolution live streaming of product trials. The service not only saves customers time and money but also overcomes many of the restrictions imposed on face-to-face gatherings and travel during the pandemic. The service began with support for two of our systems, TBA 19 and Tetra Pak A3 Compact Flex. We have now added our Tetra Top system, which makes this powerful facility available to an even wider range of customers and products. With virtual participation, you can keep your product development program going without going anywhere. Your people can follow the trial live wherever they are too. They can even see what’s happening inside some of our machines. And to maximise the long-term usefulness of your virtual visit, we deliver a ‘take-home’ package that includes:

Written technical report

Webinar-type video of the trial, for unlimited free use

Samples from the trial itself
