Plant-based beverage extraction system
In the production of plant-based beverages, ensuring maximum extraction yield and maintaining product quality are crucial. Challenges include high sedimentation, foaming, and bacterial contamination during the extraction process.
Maximize yield and control sedimentation
The Tetra Pak® Decanter is a high-efficiency extraction system designed for plant-based beverages such as oat beverages. With a capacity ranging from 1,000 to 15,000 liters per hour, it separates liquids and suspended solids, delivering a high-yield product base. The differential speed between its high-speed rotating bowl and screw conveyor allows fine-tuning of sedimentation, optimizing yield and product quality. The decanter meets the highest industry standards of cleanability, featuring CIP cleaning devices and SaniRibs® to eliminate crevices, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and ensuring maximum hygiene. The pressurized discharge minimizes foaming and air incorporation, securing food safety and product quality. Tetra Pak supplies this equipment, leveraging its extensive expertise in beverage processing technology.
