New homogeniser range reduces energy consumption, investment and maintenance costs

Tetra Pak has announced the expansion of its homogeniser range with the Tetra Pak® Homogenizer 15C and the Tetra Pak® Homogenizer 20C, offering streamlined and efficient solutions for manufacturers seeking simplicity and flexibility without compromising on performance.

Traditional homogenisation often requires two devices, which are commonly referred to as ‘first-stage’ and ‘second-stage’. However, Tetra Pak’s experts have reimagined this by combining both devices into a single entity, the innovative HD21 homogenisation device, allowing the required homogenisation process and pressure adjustments to be conducted within the same compact machine with a single pressure adjustment. The HD21 homogenisation device enables an energy reduction of up to 25% compared to a homogeniser using a conventional homogenisation device.

Said Fiona Liebehenz, Vice President of Key Components Plant Solutions and Channel Management: “Homogenisation is critical in many food and beverage production processes. But not all products or factories require complex machinery, so we took on the challenge to simplify the current state-of-the-art solutions to meet a broader range of our customer’s needs. By combining the first and second homogenisation stages into a single device, we’ve created a flexible machine with fewer parts, which reduces both the initial investment and long-term maintenance costs. Both aspects that matter for our customers.

“At Tetra Pak, we partner with businesses of all sizes across all geographies, offering valuable and scalable solutions that can grow alongside our customers. The expansion of our homogeniser range is just one example of how we continue to innovate for our customers at any stage, for cost-effective efficiency and seamless integration into their existing food and beverages operations.”

The 2-in-1 solution, available with the Tetra Pak® Homogenizer 15C and the Tetra Pak® Homogenizer 20C, has only 2 components compared to 6 components in a conventional homogeniser. This not only reduces complexity but lowers the upfront cost and ongoing maintenance requirements for manufacturers. Additionally, Tetra Pak has addressed the challenge of asymmetrical wear of parts such as valves during homogenisation. Whereas the uneven wearing of components would previously necessitate their replacement, the new line of homogenisers offer symmetrical wear parts which can simply be turned by the operator, doubling the lifespan of parts and reducing the overall maintenance costs for the device.
