Nozzle separator for concentrated yoghurt production
Achieve precise separation and skimming for high-protein dairy products like Greek yogurt and cream cheese, optimizing texture and consistency while ensuring efficient removal of spores and impurities.

Separates and Processes Fermented Dairy Products
The Tetra Pak® Nozzle Separators are specifically designed for dairy producers and food processors needing to efficiently manage the separation and processing of high-viscosity fermented dairy products, including Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and labneh. Utilizing a unique nozzle design with twelve strategically positioned nozzles on the bowl’s periphery, the separators ensure optimal energy efficiency by minimizing energy losses during product ejection. These machines facilitate high-speed, continuous operations with a flexible capacity range, handling concentrated yoghurt at 6000-12,000 l/h and cream cheese at 4000 l/h.
Automation is integral, supported by automated control systems for seamless integration into existing production lines, enhancing process efficiency through effective discharge and skimming capabilities. Sterile air supply around the bowl ensures high product quality, while the Clean-In-Place (CIP) system allows for easy and thorough nozzle cleaning, reducing downtime and maintenance efforts. Constructed with durable materials, these separators are well-suited for the demanding environments of dairy and fermented product manufacturing.
