Industrial grinder for plant-based beverages production
Achieve optimal particle size for seamless integration with your hydrolysis process, enhancing the quality and consistency of your plant-based beverages.
Grinds and Hydrolyzes Plant-Based Ingredients
The Tetra Pak® Grinder is tailored for plant-based beverage manufacturers and dairy alternative producers, excelling in optimizing particle size for effective hydrolysis within high-capacity operations. It employs a two-stage grinding process to refine raw materials like oats, almonds, and soy into fine slurries suited for enzyme-assisted extraction. This grinder can handle capacities of 4,000 or 7,000 kg per hour, making it ideal for continuous, automated production lines. It minimizes air incorporation with an underwater grinding system, enhancing product quality. The built-in automatic cleaning-in-place (CIP) feature promotes efficient and hygienic operations, reducing downtime associated with manual cleaning. Designed for seamless integration, it ensures your processing line’s efficiency from raw ingredient preparation to the final beverage. Built for robustness, it supports various end-products, including plant-based milks, smoothies, and protein drinks, while offering material options for enhanced durability in demanding food and beverage industry conditions.
