Spore removal unit for dairy processing
Optimize your dairy production by efficiently removing spores and bacteria, ensuring product purity and extended shelf life for milk-based and plant-based products.
Removes Spores and Bacteria from Dairy Products
The Tetra Pak® Bactofuge Unit is engineered to tackle the intricate challenge of spore and bacteria removal within dairy and plant-based production facilities. Designed to operate continuously, this unit features hermetic seals that eliminate air intake, enhancing spore and bacteria extraction efficiency while reducing energy consumption. Ideal for dairy producers, cheese manufacturers, and powder production companies, it supports applications such as cheddar cheese, soy-based milk, and whey protein concentrate production. With a capacity range from 5,000 to 55,000 liters per hour, this high-capacity separator integrates seamlessly into existing lines, offering flexibility and reduced installation times via the INSTAL module. Its corrosion-resistant Duplex and Super Duplex steel construction guarantees longevity, while optional Encapt™ technology significantly cuts energy use by up to 40% compared to standard models. This unit also incorporates PLC controls and is compatible with CIP systems, ensuring hygiene and ease of maintenance.
