Used Tetra Pak Sterilizer + Homogenizer 12,000 l/h The Tetra Pak Sterilizer + Homogenizer 12,000 l/h Used processes liquid food products through heat treatment and homogenization, ensuring high standards of safety and quality in industrial production. Combining a UHT sterilization system with a high-pressure homogenizer, it offers optimal treatment for various food and beverage applications. Furthermore, its design allows for easy integration into existing production lines, making it a practical choice for manufacturers. General Features This system operates at a capacity of 12,000 liters per hour (L/h), providing high performance and consistent results in heat treatment and particle size reduction. Tetra Pak, a leading brand in food processing technology, manufactured this unit in 2009, ensuring a balance between proven reliability and advanced engineering. Furthermore, the system's robust construction ensures a long service life, reducing the need for frequent maintenance. Tetra Pak UHT Sterilizer The UHT sterilization unit applies high temperatures to ensure the microbiological stability of liquid products. Thanks to a controlled heating system, it maintains the sterilization temperature between 95°C and 138°C, depending on production needs. Furthermore, operators can adjust the holding time to multiple levels, choosing between 5, 10, and 15 seconds for the initial stages and 30, 45, and 60 seconds for the advanced stages, allowing for precise control of the heat treatment. To optimize heat transfer, the system regulates the hot water flow between 10,500 and 32,000 l/h, ensuring uniform sterilization. As a result, the unit maintains an outlet temperature between 85°C and 95°C, providing controlled cooling before further processing. Another key advantage is that its design allows for seamless integration with homogenization systems, Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) units, and aseptic packaging lines. As a result, manufacturers can streamline the production process while maintaining hygiene and quality standards. Tetra Pak Alex 30 Homogenizer The Tetra Pak Alex 30 homogenizer operates at pressures up to 250 bar, effectively reducing particle size and improving product stability. Because it handles between 6,000 and 14,000 l/h, it is ideal for improving the consistency and quality of UHT-treated liquid products. Furthermore, the system is equipped with cone valves and stainless steel or solid ceramic pistons, ensuring durability and wear resistance. It also includes grooved and V-type seals, which provide effective sealing and reduce maintenance requirements. Because the homogenization process occurs in two stages, the system ensures maximum efficiency. The first stage applies 42% of the pressure, while the second stage manages the remaining 58%, both electronically controlled via DC signals for optimal precision. As a result, the machine delivers consistently high-quality production. Additionally, an ABB M3BP315SMB 4 motor powers the unit with a power output of 132 kW, operating at 380 V and 50 Hz, ensuring reliability and high performance. Meanwhile, a 7.5 V DC thermistor monitors the operating temperature to prevent potential malfunctions. For added safety, the system includes a 24 V DC door safety interlock and a motor shaft speed sensor. These components continuously monitor the rotational speed, thus preventing overloads or operational failures.
