High-precision decanter for plant-based beverages
Enhance your plant-based beverage production with a decanter engineered for high-yield extraction and precise sedimentation control, ensuring top-quality milk alternates with minimal foaming.
Extracts and Separates Liquid Bases from Slurries
The Tetra Pak® Decanter is a specialized solution tailored for the plant-based beverage sector, focusing on efficient separation and extraction processes. Utilizing a differential speed mechanism, it decants liquid bases with precision, crucial for producing high-quality oat, almond, and soy milks. The unit’s throughput varies, capable of processing up to 15,000 liters per hour, making it suitable for both small-scale and high-demand operations. Its automated setup allows seamless integration into existing production lines, with PLC controls facilitating operational stability and remote diagnostics. Energy efficiency is enhanced via an optimized motor setup, reducing consumption during continuous operations. Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials, the decanter ensures longevity and compliance with food-grade standards. The unique pressurized discharge minimizes foaming, a common challenge in liquid formulations, ensuring product quality and safety. Cleaning is streamlined with a CIP (cleaning-in-place) system, incorporating SaniRibs® technology to maintain hygiene and reduce downtime. For manufacturers looking to adapt the equipment to specific needs, customization options are available, supported by engineering consultations to optimize configurations.
