Features
Flexible heat exchanger set-up
Broadens the possible range of applications
High viscous products (or low viscous, high heat products) typically require tubular heat exchangers, which are capable of processing up to 140°C. Plate heat exchangers are more suitable for low viscous products. The Tetra Pak® Pasteurizer PFC offers a flexible heat exchanger configuration so you can process a broad range of prepared food products.
Modular equipment design
Speeds up introduction of new products by 20%
The machine is modular. It is tested and validated prior to delivery, and based on proven line concepts that have been designed for prepared food applications. This means the time required for delivery, commissioning and start-up of production are all shortened by up to 20% compared with a fully customized solution. This helps minimize the time it takes to launch a new product on the market.
Flexible degree of automation
Level based on customer’s needs
Depending on the customer’s unique situation, we can offer different degrees of automation. Stand-alone automation gives you information about temperatures, flows and alarms, for a minimum investment. A full line solution makes it possible to access information about all the equipment including the mixer, tanks and of course the pasteurizer itself. A third option is to have the entire factory site integrated into a single supervisory system Tetra PlantMaster, showing how all your lines are operating.
Automatic homogenizer damper
For longer running times
Homogenizer dampers absorb pressure variation and shocks before and after the homogenizer. Automatic air refill maintains the air cushion in the homogenizer damper to ensure smooth operation. Without the air cushion, vibration and cavitation would occur and shorten the running time. Fully automated CIP is included - increasing operator safety, improving hygiene and further optimizing the production cycle.
