Freezes, Mixes, Whips, and Incorporates Air
The Tetra Pak Continuous Freezer A2 Series is engineered for ice cream and frozen beverage production, offering precise control over freezing, mixing, whipping, and air incorporation processes. This equipment ensures exceptional product uniformity with an optimal texture, achieving less than 0.7% standard deviation. It’s equipped with a patented cylinder design that increases the heat transfer rate by 10%, alongside highly energy-efficient IE3 and IE4 motors to minimize power consumption.
This versatile system supports applications ranging from gelato and sorbet to cold brew coffee and iced coffee beverages. With processing capacities ranging from 50 to 4,500 liters per hour, this series meets the demands of both small-scale operations and larger industrial setups. The A2 Series offers robust integration capabilities, featuring a user-friendly touch screen panel compatible with the Tetra PlantMaster™ system for seamless production monitoring and traceability.
Its space-efficient design allows for multiple units to be positioned compactly, maximizing output per square meter. Tailored to exact requirements, the freezer includes rotary pumps ensuring production stability and minimal waste, alongside a mass flow meter handling up to 140% overrun for controlled texture variations. A patented start-up procedure reduces ingredient waste significantly, ensuring cost-effectiveness.
Built with durability in mind, the hygienic shaft seal and automatic CIP cycle simplify maintenance and enhance operational hygiene. Customizable options such as multiple outlet pumps and cooling valves further optimize energy use and product distribution. The Tetra Pak Continuous Freezer A2 Series is thus a comprehensive solution for ice cream manufacturers and food processing companies seeking efficient, reliable, and customizable continuous freezing operations.
