Tetra Pak announces the launch of its new Tetra Therm Aseptic VTIS, a direct heating unit for UHT dairy production which incorporates innovative design to deliver significant efficiencies. Thanks to instantaneous heating and cooling, Tetra Pak’s direct UHT technology minimises thermal impact on the product, thus enabling premium quality.
The unit gently treats heat-sensitive products such as milk, enriched milk, cream, ice cream mixes, other dairy desserts and soy milk products — whilst cutting operating costs by 15% compared to the previous generation of direct UHT systems.
The new Tetra Therm Aseptic VTIS unit:
• Cuts products losses by up to 40% compared to current industry standards
• Boosts running time up to 60 hours
• Reduces heat load to minimise impact on properties such as taste and colour
• Offers the highest operational efficiency of any direct UHT system on the market
“Tetra Pak focuses its innovation on developing more effective and efficient solutions. It means our customers can maximise production whilst cutting waste and costs. In developing the new Tetra Therm Aseptic VTIS unit, we have explored every stage and examined every component to deliver better ways of processing heat-sensitive premium dairy products,” said David Pomeroy, Food Category Director.
Tetra Therm Aseptic VTIS solutions can also be configured to match each customer’s specifications for one or more individual products, as well as production requirements for highly versatile and efficient product-optimised operation.
Tetra Therm Aseptic VTIS is available as a separate unit or as part of a Tetra Lactenso Aseptic dairy production solution, with guaranteed performance on key indicators such as running time, energy consumption, product losses, cleaning times, pre-sterilisation time and more.
