World’s largest capacity Homogenizer
Tetra Pak have announced that the world’s largest capacity food processing homogenizer has gone into operation with its first customer. The Tetra Pak Homogenizer 500 can produce up to 63,600 liters per hour, offering outstanding product quality at the lowest operational cost available.
The machine features Tetra Pak’s pioneering HD EnergyIQ, a homogenizing device that uses six gaps, rather than one, enabling it to operate at pressures around 20% lower than standard machines, while delivering the same guality end product. The result is a significant reduction in energy consumption, and considerably reduced costs.
In addition, the lower operating pressure means lower wear. Coupled with a design that allows
easy service access, the Tetra Pak Homogenizer 500 offers the highest uptime for customers in the
market. Like all aseptic Tetra Pak homogenizers, the machine also uses 80% less cooling water and
70% less steam compared to many alternative brands.
The new homogenizer was launched in partnership with Chinese food company YinLu. Wu Zhong Ping, General Manager of Yinlu’s plant in Anhui, says, “Our peanut milk is a best seller in the market and is gaining popularity among voung consumers. The opportunitv to use the Tetra Pak Homogenizer 500 came at a time when we were looking for efficient wavs to expand production and capture market growth. The machine delivers exactly what we want: it does the job of two machines
with increased production and reduced operational costs, and there is no compromise on the
product quality.”
Anders Karlsson, Technical Director, Tetra Pak Group, said, “Launching the world’s largest
capacity homogenizer means that our customers can achieve significant economies of scale,
producing more for a lower cost per liter. This is vital for dairv and beverage producers seeking to
meet growing consumer demand.”
