Milk clarification
The main purpose of milk clarification is to remove impurities. Many clarifiers can only be used for either hot or cold milk, but with Tetra Pak® Clarifiers, you can process both. The efficiency of the removal of smaller particles increases with the temperature, and the most efficient reduction of leucocytes and bacteria is achieved at 50–60 °C.
Whey clarification
To maintain optimum fat separation and long run times, it is necessary to remove cheese fines from the whey before it reaches the whey separator. Installing a centrifugal clarifier upstream of the whey separator is the most efficient way to remove cheese fines. Clarification normally takes place at the same temperature as whey separation, i.e. at vat temperature.
Plant-based clarification
Plant-based beverages represent an exciting new category that is rapidly expanding. Tetra Pak® Separators can assist in the journey from raw ingredient to finished plant-based product. Whether you want a silky mouth feel or a thicker viscosity, selecting a Tetra Pak® Separator in your line means you have increased flexibility to adapt to changing needs, whilst protecting product quality.
