Beverage preparation system for large-scale production

Ideal for producers looking to scale up, this versatile system efficiently handles the preparation of diverse beverages, ensuring superior ingredient integration and consistent quality across large production volumes.

Mixes and Homogenizes Beverage Ingredients

The Tetra Pak® B-ES Beverage Preparation System is an adaptable solution that excels in mixing, hydration, and homogenization processes for a wide range of beverage applications, including juices, soft drinks, and plant-based beverages. Featuring a modular design, it supports flexible upgrades as production demands increase, accommodating capacities from batch operations of 2,000-4,000 liters per hour to continuous high-speed production of up to 70,000 liters per hour.

Employing radial jet mixing technology, it ensures efficient, homogenous mixing without mechanical shear, making it ideal for handling delicate ingredients like gums and thickeners. The system leverages energy-efficient components such as auto mixing devices and twin-stage nozzles, reducing energy consumption by up to 60% relative to conventional high shear pumps.

Constructed from durable, food-grade materials, the B-ES system offers excellent corrosion resistance and can be configured to meet specific operational requirements. It integrates seamlessly into existing processing lines with automation compatibility, allowing for remote monitoring and control. Furthermore, it offers ease of cleaning with CIP capabilities, minimizing downtime and ensuring hygiene standards are met.
