Aseptic dosing unit for sensitive ingredients

Ensure the stability of heat-sensitive ingredients with precise in-line dosing technology, enhancing product quality while reducing waste in your production process.

Injects and Monitors Liquid Ingredients in Real-Time

The Tetra Pak® Aseptic Dosing Unit F is a fully automated system that revolutionizes liquid ingredient integration in food and beverage processing. It excels in precisely injecting sensitive ingredients—like enzymes, vitamins, and probiotics—directly before packaging, preserving their efficacy. This system serves dairy, juice, and plant-based production lines by managing a dosing range of 0.5 to 30 liters per hour, with a product throughput of 1,000 to 20,000 liters per hour. Its design features a closed ingredient delivery system ensuring aseptic conditions and minimal cross-contamination. Operators benefit from a sophisticated recipe management system that enhances traceability and safety. This unit is integrated seamlessly between processing and filling stages, promoting just-in-time production flexibility and reducing waste and energy consumption due to efficient dosing procedures. Furthermore, it is constructed for CIP cleaning to minimize downtime and optimize hygiene, making it a valuable tool for maintaining quality in the production of complex liquid products.
