Ice Cream Mix unit A2

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Tetra Pak® Ice Cream Mix unit A2 is designed for the continuous preparation of ice cream mixes with capacities ranging from 2,000 to 8,000 liters per hour. It encompasses the entire preparation process, including high shear mixing, high pressure homogenization, HTST pasteurization, and delivery to aging tanks.
Typical Applications: The unit is suitable for high viscous ice cream products, ice cream with pulps, fruit pieces, flavors, fragrances, sorbets, and water ice.
Highlights: The system offers fully automated continuous production, powerful mixing capabilities, production traceability, product safety, and a focus on hygienic design and sustainability. It includes options like an integrated CIP unit, external cooler, and recipe handling.
Working Principle: The unit uses a Tetra Pak® High Shear Mixer for ingredient mixing, which can be an open or vacuum mixer. The mix is recirculated to ensure complete hydration. A Tetra Pak® Plate Heat Exchanger is used for heating and cooling, minimizing energy consumption. The system is compact, divided into mixing tanks, a unified frame with pasteurizer and HMI, and a homogenizer.
Standard Material: The unit includes stainless steel mixing tanks with agitators, sample valves, level sensors, and CIP spray balls. The main frame features a double strainer, balance tank, plate heat exchanger, pumps, hygienic valves, flow controllers, and an HMI panel. It connects to a two-stage homogenizer with automatic pressure release.
Automation Functions: The unit is equipped with automated PLC sequences for sterilization, mixing, pasteurization, circulation, emptying, intermediate cleaning, and CIP. It also features automated pasteurization temperature control and flow diversion.
Optional Equipment: Options include pressure safety functions, differential pressure supervision, water recovery, CIP dosing unit, and more. Customization is possible for specific product requirements.
Technical Data: The unit's capacity ranges from 2,000 to 8,000 liters per hour, with varying dimensions based on the model. The mixing tank capacity is crucial for determining size, and space considerations are necessary.
Service Media Conditions: The unit requires process water at 18-28°C, steam at 3 bar, compressed air at 6.0-6.5 bar, ice water at 3 bar, and seal water at 3 bar.
Environment: The modular design allows for easy adaptation and rebuilding. Energy consumption is optimized through regenerative sections and efficient components. Additional options for utility and energy optimization include water recovery and automation functions.

Ice Cream Mix unit A2-2

WORKING PRINCIPLE OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT Ingredient mixing takes place in a Tetra Pak® High Shear Mixer, which can be either an open mixer with manual handling or a vacuum mixer. Liquid and powder ingredients can be connected directly to the vacuum mixer, minimizing operator resources and optimizing production flow. The mix is recirculated over the mixing tanks to ensure complete hydration of the ingredients. The Tetra Pak® Plate Heat Exchanger facilitates heating and cooling of the mix before homogenization, at pasteurization and at final cooling in a regeneration system that minimizes the energy...
