A Tetra Pak® Unidade F de Dosagem Asséptica utiliza uma técnica única e inovadora em que ingredientes funcionais são injetados com alta precisão no produto base após o tratamento térmico final, pouco antes do envase.
O sistema flexível garante a estabilidade e a integridade dos ingredientes funcionais sensíveis ao calor e evita a necessidade de sobredosagem desses ingredientes caros.
A Tetra Pak Unidade F de Dosagem Asséptica é totalmente automatizada e é instalada entre as máquinas de processamento e envase. Ela pode operar com uma ou várias máquinas de envase.

Automated dosing control
Ensure consistent product quality and maximum ingredient utilisation with automated and guaranteed dosing control. To ensure that exactly the right amount of ingredients is injected into the base product, a weighing system monitors the ingredients and flow transmitters monitor the base product as they enter the filling machine. Accuracy is further enhanced with varying diameters of hoses for specific recipes.
‘Just in time’ production
Make changeovers in minutes and thanks to the 'Just in time' production method, the dosing unit is positioned just before the filling machine. Ingredients are dosed in the last step and at the last minute before packaging. It is extremely quick and simple to switch from one added ingredient to another. All the operator must do is change the ingredient bag in the dosing unit, and the packaging material in the filling machine.
Ingredient injection
The rationalised, efficient process means there is no need to clean entire line between products. The dosed ingredients do not come into contact with any of the upstream processing equipment there is no need for intermediate cleaning in place between production runs with different products. This delivers significant savings on cleaning and enables higher equipment utilisation/output. Energy and detergent consumption are also reduced.
Closed ingredients system
The ingredients to be dosed are packed separately in advance, and quality checked before being sent to your production plant in ready-to-use 5 or 10 litre aseptic bags. When dosing, the closed ingredient package is connected to the product line via an aseptic transfer hose.
Recipe management system
Operators scan the barcode on ingredients and hose kit. The recipe management system confirms that the correct ingredients are dosed into each product. Dosing takes place via a sterile hose, connected to the ingredients bag. A sterile needle injects the ingredient into the base product while maintaining aseptic conditions. An advanced information system provides total traceability, with all data stored for analysis in case of an issue.
Product quality control
In the production of UHT lactose-reduced milk, aseptic dosing means less lactase is added to the product, and this in turn means less sugar content in the milk. Less sugar content reduces the browning of the milk (caused by the Maillard reaction). This typically doubles product shelf life.
