Industrial grinder for plant-based beverages
Ensure optimal particle size for hydrolysis in plant-based beverage production with this high-speed grinder, designed to reduce air incorporation and minimize downtime with automatic cleaning-in-place.
Grinds and Prepares Slurry for Hydrolysis
The Tetra Pak® Grinder is designed for plant-based beverage manufacturers seeking precise control over particle size for optimal hydrolysis. This two-stage grinder efficiently transforms raw materials, such as oat grains or flakes, into a fine slurry, critical for subsequent enzyme-assisted hydrolysis processes. With a throughput capacity of up to 7,000 kg per hour, it integrates seamlessly into high-speed operations, ensuring continuous production without manual intervention. The system’s closed-loop design minimizes air incorporation and incorporates an automatic cleaning-in-place (CIP) feature, significantly reducing downtime and labor costs. Suitable for applications in food and beverage industries, particularly for producing oat, almond, soy, and other plant-based milks, it offers substantial benefits in energy efficiency and operational reliability, with material construction ensuring longevity and compliance with industry standards.
