Vertical package accumulator for food and beverage production
Ensure seamless flow and precise order tracking of packaged goods to minimize downtime and product damage in high-speed production lines.

The Tetra Pak® Accumulator Helix 30 100m is a sophisticated solution designed to optimize production lines in the food and beverage industry. It ensures a smooth flow of packaged products, minimizing stoppages and maintaining sequence integrity through its FIFO (First In, First Out) operation. Ideal for applications across dairy, juice, plant-based products, and more, it helps producers effectively manage a variety of end-products, including milk cartons, juice bottles, and infant formula powder. This accumulator leverages a space-efficient spiral design for vertical accumulation, integrating seamlessly with high-speed operations and reducing package damage. Operators benefit from an intuitive touch screen interface, ensuring swift and efficient management. The equipment’s automated control facilitates easy integration with both upstream filling machines and downstream distribution devices, enhancing the overall efficiency of your packaging department.
