Tetra Pak® Homogenizer 500 - the highest capacity food processing homogenizer in the world
with the lowest total cost of ownership
Our Tetra Pak® Homogenizer 500 handles high-pressure homogenization of emulsions and suspensions. It is ideal for both high and low viscous as well as aseptic and non-aseptic products including pasteurized milk, UHT milk, cream, yoghurt, condensed milk, ice cream mix, fruit juices, RNGS (rice, nut, grain or soy) beverages, concentrates, purées, tomato products, dressings, ketchups, liquid egg, mayonnaise, sauces and gravies. It is also available as a high-pressure pump – ideal for feeding a spray dryer when producing powder for example.

A product's journey through the Tetra Pak Homogenizer 500
Highest homogenizing efficiency
Optimal product characteristics at lower pressure
- Beverage – optimal viscosity at lower pressure
- Dairy – optimal Nizo values at lower pressure
Same output at a lower cost
Performance guarantees on NIZO values available
Lowest utility consumption
Based on pasteurized milk production:
- Low electricity cost – only 3 kWh per 1000 litres with 70% NIZO
- Limit cooling water consumption to 12.6 litres per 1000 litres of product
Designed for high uptime

What to look for in a homogenizer to achieve the highest uptime
To achieve the highest possible uptime in your homogenizing process, it’s important to look for a homogenizer designed for low wear, long service intervals and with easy access for servicing.
How does the Tetra Pak Homogenizer 500 deliver the lowest TCO in the industry?
Our new Tetra Pak Homogenizer 500 delivers the lowest total cost of ownership in the industry for the beverage and dairy homogenization process. Its high capacity gives the homogenization process scale of economy, which combined with our efficient homogenization devices, enables the highest homogenization efficiency and lowest operational costs on the market.
Serial cooling system cuts water and steam consumption
Water conservation is not only a rapidly growing global environmental concern; water is also becoming more costly. Our homogenizers are equipped with a high-temperature condensate aseptic barrier that protects food safety and a serial cooling system. These combine to cut steam consumption by 70% and cooling water consumption by 80% compared to conventional solutions. To understand how we achieve this, it’s useful to look at how serial cooling systems work and why high temperature condensate requires less water and steam consumption.
