New mixers and blenders increase efficiency, consistency
REDUCED-ENERGY MIXER
Tetra Pak said its new R370-1000D mixer offers customers unparalleled ingredient-mixing performance with lower operating costs. Featuring a new design that produces finer, more consistent and stable emulsions, the R370-1000D reduces the need for downstream homogenization, delivers a better-quality end product and cuts energy consumption by up to 90%. The R370-1000D features a built-in deaerating system, a flexible powder introduction system and a newly designed mixing head. This allows the new machine to handle the highest viscosities for a recirculation mixer, at up to 2,000 centipoise with up to 65% dry matter, and break the size of the droplets to 1 micrometer, significantly smaller than the industry average of 5 micrometers.
