Tetra Pak has widened its homogeniser range by introducing the Tetra Pak Homogenizer 15C and the Tetra Pak Homogenizer 20C.
According to the company, the new solutions are efficient, flexible and streamline manufacturing. It is believed that they help to save as much as 25% in energy consumption and cost.
Typically, traditional homogenization needs two devices that are commonly called the 'first stage' and the 'second stage'. Tetra Pak has actually innovated the concept of using both in a single unit-the HD21 homogenisation device. It, therefore, does the homogenization process that is needed as well as any pressure adjustment required in a compact machine and under one pressure adjustment.
This 2-in-1 solution, available with the new 15C and 20C, has two components compared to six components in a conventional homogeniser. This reduces complexity as well as lowering the upfront cost and ongoing maintenance required for manufacturers.
Additionally, Tetra Pak has offered to deal with asymmetrical wear of parts such as valves in homogenisation. More than that, unevenly wearing of parts would formerly mean replacements. The new line of homogenisers comes with symmetrical wear parts which can simply be turned by the operator, doubling lifespan and cutting down on costs when it comes to parts maintenance of the device.
The machines are designed to integrate and operate in existing lines due to a compact design that embodies all the essential parts inside the homogeniser and a 'straightforward' clamp connection. This technology enables the homogenization to be carried out at a lower pressure compared to conventional homogenizers, due to the narrow gap within the device. Energy consumption is thus reduced, and thus more efficient performance is realized in the line.
