Syrup and beverage preparation system
Enhance your beverage production with a versatile solution that optimizes mixing, hydration, and dissolution processes, reducing energy consumption while maximizing product quality and efficiency.
Mixes and Dissolves Ingredients for Beverage Production
The Tetra Pak® Preparation system B-EXT offers beverage and food processors a versatile solution for efficiently mixing and dissolving ingredients in syrups and various drinks. This scalable system supports both batch and high-speed continuous operations, with throughput ranging from 2,000 to 70,000 litres per hour. Utilizing radial jet mixing technology, it ensures homogeneous product blending without mechanical shear, thus reducing energy consumption and preventing heat generation. Ideal for a wide range of applications, including juices, nectars, soft drinks, and plant-based or dairy beverages, it accommodates diverse ingredient viscosities up to 200 cP. Integrated features like the pre-mix recirculation loop and horizontal injector minimize product waste and enhance mixing precision. The system is flexibly upgradable to meet evolving production demands and is equipped with options like an auto mixing device for challenging ingredients, maintaining efficient operations while lowering energy use by up to 60%.
