Aseptic dosing system for heat-sensitive ingredients

Enhance product quality and reduce ingredient waste by precisely injecting sensitive additives directly before packaging, preserving the integrity and potency of components like probiotics and vitamins in liquid products.

Injects and Mixes Ingredients with High Precision

The Tetra Pak Aseptic Dosing unit F offers a high-precision solution for industrial dosing needs. This fully automated system injects heat-sensitive ingredients such as enzymes, vitamins, and probiotics directly into dairy and beverage products after thermal processing, ensuring ingredient integrity and reducing costs associated with overdosing. With a dosing capacity ranging from 0.5 to 30 l/h, it efficiently supports production of lactose-free milk, fortified juices, and plant-based beverages. Its integration between processing and filling machines makes it ideal for continuous operation. The unit’s closed ingredient system simplifies cleaning and lowers contamination risks, while the advanced recipe management system enhances traceability and food safety through barcode verification. Designed for easy ingredient switching, it streamlines processes for diverse applications in the food, beverage, and nutraceutical industries.
