WHAT OUR SOLUTIONS DO FOR YOU


Soups are classified into three groups: clear soups, thick soups and chunky soups. Clear soups are usually bouillon and consommé. Thick soups are classified depending upon the type of thickening agent used. Chunky soups are soups containing chopped or whole ingredients, such as meat, vegetables or pasta. No matter what soup you are looking to produce, Tetra Pak® can help.
 

1. IMPROVE PERFORMANCE

Optimising the heat treatment of particulate foods

To meet consumer's demand for high-quality cooking sauces, we must deliver consistent and accurate heat treatment when food contain particles. Watch this video to see how particles affect different heat transfer processes.

The inside story on heat treatment of particulate soups

Tetra Pak research suggests that huge improvements can be made in how we process particles. The findings demonstrate how particles affect different heat transfer processes in a heat treatment system – sometimes going against commonly accepted beliefs.

Processing and packaging

Our processing and packaging solutions combine tasty, safe food with smart environmental thinking. The cooking processes ensure you get the best flavours and nutrients out of all the ingredients while reducing waste. The carton packages are convenient to use and easy to recycle. They also reduce weight and space during transport and are made of a material that’s kind to nature.

2. FUTURE-PROOF PRODUCTION & TRENDS

Soup production is a rapidly developing and innovative category worldwide, with an already wide and growing range of value-added soup products with homemade taste and ready-to-eat convenience. Large markets are converting from homemade consumption and this places high demands on your production and product innovation, to develop products that match each market’s unique preferences in terms of flavours and level of convenience – from soup components to ready-to-eat soups. Based on our specialized food production and technology expertise, our optimal production solutions meet your needs with competitive, guaranteed performance and enable you to meet growing demands from retailers, food services and consumers.

Our optimal solutions enable you to produce a wide range of smooth to particulate soups – from clear soups such as broths and bouillons to thick soups based on milk, cream or vegetable purées, and dehydrated soups.

Line Solution Key Enabler: VTIS

Tetra therm aseptic VTIS direct UHT treatment unit

Tetra Therm® Aseptic VTIS direct UHT treatment unit

System for continuous direct UHT treatment of liquid food products under aseptic conditions


Tetra Therm® Aseptic VTIS has long represented state-of-the-art direct UHT processing of premium quality, aseptic products. It​ is an aseptic processing unit for continuous UHT treatment with direct steam injection. Mainly for heat-sensitive low-acid products such as milk, enriched milk, cream, soy milk, formulated dairy products, ice-cream mix, dairy desserts as well as ESL (extended shelf life) products. The process is also suitable for smooth products like soups, sauces, non-dairy cream and other starch-based products and can handle smaller particles.


Capacity: 2,000 l/h to 30 000 l/h (variable capacity 1:2 is standard)


Applications: Milk, enriched milk, cream, soymilk, formulated dairy products, ice-cream mix, extended shelf life (ESL) products, dairy desserts, non-dairy cream, and smooth soups and sauces.

Features

•  Steam is injected rapidly into the product, instantly heating it from 80° to the UHT temperature, followed by condensation (only 0.1 seconds) and temperature equilibrium. The combination of a high sterilization temperature and a short heating time ensures that microorganisms and spores are deactivated with minimal impact on the product's taste and colour. The process also involves very low fouling, which in turn means outstanding clean-ability, less downtime for cleaning and overall lower cleaning costs.
•  Flash cooling within the condenser equipped vacuum vessel minimizes product loses and allows for efficient operation and maintenance
•  Equipped with a floating protection system allows for thermal expansion, giving a longer lifetime and exceptional efficiency
•  Achieve longer running times with the automatic damper
