Tetra Pak launches intelligent beverage pasteurizer

Tetra Pak has launched the new generation of Tetra Therm Aseptic Drink, a cost-efficient and flexible unit for processing a wide range of beverages.

“With the Tetra Therm Aseptic Drink unit, we want to enable our customers to achieve worry-free operation,” says Sam Strömerstén, president of Tetra Pak Processing Systems.

“Each unit is hygienically designed for easy and thorough cleaning. Each unit is pre-tested before shipping and its self-diagnostics assure optimal performance at all times.”

The new generation pasteurizers – which are suitable for juices and nectars, still drinks, tea drinks and enhanced water, including new “wellness” drinks with high value-added sensitive ingredients – include a range of advanced automation features.

The units will for example automatically identify deviations in process parameters, enabling immediate operator action.

The units will also provide automatic notification of every maintenance requirement.

The new pasteurizer is compatible with the Tetra PlantMaster control system that enables additional intelligence functions such as full traceability, with unit history, batch control and review of all previous actions.
