Ingredient doser for ice cream with large inclusions
When producing ice cream with large inclusions like cookie dough or whole biscuits, achieving uniform distribution and maintaining integrity of added ingredients can be challenging. Ensuring accurate and gentle ingredient dosing is critical to maintaining high product quality.
Ensure uniform mixing with accurate ingredient dosing
The Tetra Pak® Ingredient Doser 4000 A2 is designed for the continuous and precise injection of additional ingredients into ice cream and other liquid or viscous products. It allows for the dosing of a wide range of inclusions, from small fruit pieces to large cookies, ensuring they remain intact throughout the process. The unit features a loss-in-weight control system combined with optimized auger selection, providing accurate dosing with a standard deviation of less than 3%. This doser operates at a capacity of 100 to 1200 liters per hour for ingredient throughput and up to 10,000 liters per hour for product flow. The system’s compact design (0.9 m²) makes it suitable even for production plants with limited space. It integrates a turnable operator panel for easy access and flexible line layout, a lamella pump for gentle handling of ingredients, and options like ventilated lamellas and an insulated hopper to cater to specific needs. Tetra Pak’s patented hopper design ensures gentle handling of sensitive inclusions, making it ideal for applications requiring high capacity and uniformity.
