Ice cream mix preparation solution
Achieve efficient, continuous ice cream and dairy product mixing with low-energy consumption, seamlessly handling high viscosity and varied formulations for superior texture and quality.
Mixes and Pasteurizes High-Viscosity Liquid Products
The Tetra Pak® Ice Cream Mix Unit series offers a range of solutions for efficiently mixing and pasteurizing diverse liquid products, including high-viscosity foods like ice cream mixes and dairy products. These units from Tetra Pak are designed for standalone or continuous low-energy operations, integrating seamlessly into your production line. They utilize advanced high shear mixers and plate heat exchangers to achieve optimal emulsification and hydration, while the HTST (High Temperature-Short Time) pasteurization process ensures product safety and superior quality.
Capable of handling a broad spectrum of applications—from ice cream bars to sauces like hollandaise—the units are suited for ice cream manufacturers, dairy producers, and food and beverage manufacturers alike. Offering capacities from 600 to 14,000 liters per hour, they are ideal for small to medium-scale production needs.
Each unit maximizes heat recovery, minimizing energy consumption and environmental impact. With options for high shear vacuum mixing, they efficiently manage viscosities up to 50,000 cP with reduced air incorporation. The integrated pasteurizer diversion function further safeguards against cross-contamination by recycling non-pasteurized products.
Engineered with precision, these units feature durable materials for long-lasting operation, while the availability of additional accessories and engineering support provides ample opportunity for customization and integration into existing systems.
