Dairy pasteurizer

Ensure product safety and quality while reducing energy consumption and operational costs with this advanced pasteurization solution designed for continuous, automated processing of a wide range of dairy products, including market milk, cheese, yoghurt, and ice cream mixes.

Pasteurizes and Conditions Dairy Products

The Tetra Pak® Pasteurizer D is a specialized piece of processing equipment designed for the dairy industry, adept at handling a variety of applications such as market milk, cheese milk, yoghurt milk, cream, ice cream mix, and UHT milk. Its streamlined engineering ensures efficient pasteurization through a series of processes including heating, cooling, circulation, and pressure control. This unit can process between 2,000 and 60,000 liters per hour, seamlessly integrating into existing production lines with continuous and automated operations.

Key features of the Tetra Pak® Pasteurizer D include an automatic hibernation mode, minimizing energy and water consumption by effectively reducing operational loads during non-productive intervals. The automated control system offers precise management of pasteurization parameters, ensuring consistent product quality and food safety.

The unit also incorporates advanced food safety mechanisms such as a divert system and pressure differential monitoring, effectively preventing cross-contamination between pasteurized and unpasteurized products. Furthermore, the leak detection system safeguards against product contamination, ensuring compliance with industry safety standards.

Constructed with durable materials suitable for food processing environments, this pasteurizer offers easy maintenance and includes an integrated CIP system for efficient cleaning that decreases downtime and maintains hygiene. Customizable options are available to tailor the unit to specific production needs, supported by Tetra Pak’s engineering expertise.
