Industrial protein mixer for liquid food applications
Eliminate costly foam-related product losses in protein-enriched liquid food mixing while streamlining downstream processes with less cleaning and maintenance downtime.
The Tetra Pak® Industrial Protein Mixer from Tetra Pak Netherlands is designed to seamlessly integrate into your production line, addressing the critical issue of foaming in liquid food and beverage processing. By utilizing advanced sensor-based controls and a no-foam inlet design, this mixer ensures gentle product ingress and minimizes foam formation. It is suitable for a wide range of applications including dairy, plant-based beverages, and protein-enriched products like almond milk and protein shakes.
Capable of processing up to 50,000 liters per hour, the mixer enhances operational efficiency while maintaining product quality. Its automated control system, combined with a patented outlet filter and smart foam monitoring sensors, reduces cleaning and maintenance requirements, allowing for continuous, high-speed operation. Additionally, with the low-air powder handling system and dynamic baffle, the mixer minimizes air ingress, preventing lumps and ensuring a homogeneous mix.
Constructed with durable materials for long-lasting performance, the Tetra Pak® Industrial Protein Mixer complies with industry standards for safety and hygiene, making it a reliable asset in food and beverage manufacturing environments. Customization options and engineering support are available to tailor the mixer to specific production needs, ensuring optimal integration and performance in your facility.
