Industrial clarifier for dairy and plant-based products
Optimize your production line with cutting-edge clarification technology designed to enhance beverage purity and consistency, ensuring superior quality across a wide range of dairy, plant-based, and whey products.
Clarifies and Separates Liquids in Continuous Operations
The Tetra Pak® Clarifiers are engineered to optimize the clarification and separation processes in dairy and beverage production lines. Leveraging an AirTight design with hermetic seals, these clarifiers prevent air intake, ensuring superior product integrity. Ideal for applications such as dairy milk, whey, and plant-based beverages, they handle capacities ranging from 15,000 to 70,000 liters per hour. The centrifugal clarifier enhances efficiency by removing impurities like bacteria and somatic cells at controlled temperatures, crucial for maintaining product quality in products like whole milk, Greek yogurt, and soy milk. Automation is integrated through PLC systems, permitting seamless operational control and remote monitoring. Energy efficiency is improved with the implementation of Encapt™ technology, reducing energy usage by up to 40%. Constructed from corrosion-resistant Duplex steel, the clarifiers offer extended longevity and include a CIP system for efficient cleaning. Customization is available to meet specific process demands, supported by comprehensive engineering assistance from Tetra Pak®.
