Are you seeking a reliable filling machine that is easy to operate? The Tetra Pak® A1 for Tetra Classic® Aseptic machine is designed to deliver efficient production for your liquid and viscous foods, with the optional High Viscosity Aseptic (HVA) kit. Depending on package size, you can achieve production capacities up to 21,600 packages per hour and highly efficient use of utilities.
This machine offers simple solo operation and easy conversion between six different package sizes for investment protection. Gain the benefits of low operating costs and good environmental performance through lower water use, reduced energy consumption and less waste1. It delivers high food safety for Tetra Classic® Aseptic packages and offers low investment. Optimise operation efficiency, reduce costs and enhance your sustainability profile.
The Tetra Pak® A1 for Tetra Classic® Aseptic with the High Viscous Aseptic (HVA) Kit enables you to pack tomato paste, spreadable cheese and other high viscosity products. It also allows easy switching between production of high and low viscosities. The solution provides a perfect match between processing and packaging when paired with the Tetra Pak® Pasteurizer PF, which can handle products across a wide viscosity range.
To produce Tetra Classic® Aseptic 20 Base Plus packages with PullTab™, the filling machine uses integrated technology to apply the PullTab during the package creation.
Features
Automatic Strip Splicing
Quality splicing
Enables correct, repeatable splicing of longitudinal strip reels, and at the same time makes the operation less labour intensive. The reels are exchanged approximately every 1.45 hours.
Operator panel
It’s never been easier to operate
The production is easily managed through a Tetra Pak Operator Panel (TPOP) system on the ground level. All major functions can be initiated and supervised - from production preparation to the Cleaning in Place (CIP) function.
PLMS Centre
Operational control and performance analysis
The packaging line monitoring system (PLMS) enables tracking of production performance, such as possible stop reasons, efficiencies, waste levels.
Packaging material in-feed
Long production runs raise efficiency
Each Tetra Pak A1 unit holds a jumbo reel of packaging material with sufficient supply for almost two hours of production at the higher speed, and about three hours at the lower speed. A jumbo reel holds sufficient material for up to 36,000 packages.
Fully automatic splicing unit
Neat seal between reels
The splicing unit heats and pressurises the packaging material to automatically make a neat seal between one reel and the next, so package production can continue uninterrupted.
Aseptic system
For reliable sterilisation of packaging material
Consists of a shallow hydrogen peroxide bath, squeegee rollers and a heating chamber. Rollers distribute the hydrogen peroxide evenly; controlled heating and evaporation give effective sterilisation. Control of aseptic parameters ensures product protection and minimises the risk of operator errors.
