Efficient hummus batch production with external cooling
Today, numerous different processes are used to produce hummus. None of them are flawless – they could come with high costs, have limitations in capacity or even entail food safety issues. Now, you no longer need to compromise. Based on full pasteurization and a 2-phase cooling system, our new, patent-pending concept is a cost-efficient way to batch-produce hummus while enabling your production to meet the highest standards of food safety.
Long shelf life and consistent quality
Full pasteurization and the closed system for rapid, deep cooling help create an environment that supports food safety and extends shelf life. By focusing on several key quality parameters, our Best-practice batch line for hummus is designed to deliver the outcome you want: a product with both long shelf life and consistent quality.
Reduce energy consumption by 38%1 in the cooling step
Expect low operational costs. An example production scenario shows that using Tetra Pak® Continuous Freezer S instead of a scraped surface heat exchanger can reduce energy consumption by 38% and product losses by ~70%1 in the cooling step. There is no need for an external ice water or glycol water system, and it is a space-efficient solution too. The installation process is easy and quick. The freezer is plug-and-play: just connect water and electricity and you are ready to go.

A new idea, based on proven technology
The patent pending solution is based upon two well-established and proven key components: our Tetra Pak® High Shear Mixer and Tetra Pak® Continuous Freezer S. These technologies are now combined into something completely new – in summary, a concept built upon innovative thinking and decades of expertise.
1 Final result depending on production scenario. This calculation is based on a comparison between using a Tetra Pak® Continuous Freezer S or a scraped surface heat exchanger for external cooling. Other components are considered identical.
Line capacity 500 kg/hour; production 10 hours/day, 50 kW cooling power.
