Product catalog summary
Highlights
  • Significant energy savings: Reduces heating energy costs by 42%, cooling energy costs by 55%, and CO2 emissions by 62%.
  • Ensures food safety and quality with a modular design for flexibility.
  • Features a new cross-flow filter for efficient dissolving and reduced energy and raw material costs.
  • Advanced °Brix set-point control for precise dosing and cost reductions.
  • Continuous automatic control minimizes manual handling and operator costs.
Future-proof Efficiency

The Tetra Albrix offers future-proof efficiency in sugar dissolving, maximizing output and delivering substantial savings in energy and raw material costs.

Application

Designed for continuous dissolving and pasteurization of granulated sugar up to 67 °Brix concentration.

Working Principle

Preheated water is mixed with granulated sugar in a dissolving tank. A pump circulates the sugar/water slurry through a cross-flow filter, separating dissolved sugar from crystals. Optional pasteurization and decolorizing systems are available.

Concept

The skid-mounted unit includes a PLC and HMI interface, pre-tested with water before delivery.

Main Components
  • Available in three variations: Dissolver, Dissolver & Pasteurizer, and Dissolver & Pasteurizer & Control of Active Carbon Treatment.
  • Basic unit includes frequency control, mixing vessel, water heater, advanced °Brix control, density meter, and cross-flow filter.
Additional Equipment
  • For Dissolver + Pasteurizer: Tetra Plex plate heat exchanger, steam valves, and piping.
  • Optional equipment includes hot water circuit, enhanced energy efficiency options, mass flow meters, and tower water cooling.
Other Features
  • Optional uninterrupted power supply, sugar inlet valve, automatic control of destination tank, cartridge and bag filters, pressure supervision, Ethernet communication, and control room solutions.

Tetra Albrix Continuous sugar-dissolving unit-2

Working principle Incoming treated water is preheated in a separate water heater and fed into a dissolving tank. Granulated sugar is continously conveyed from hopper to dissolving tank. In order to maintain agitation in the dissolving tank, a pump circulates the sugar/water slurry. The slurry is pumped through a cross-flow filter, which separates dissolved sugar from sugar crystals. Sugar crystals return to the dissolving tank, while dissolved sugar passes through to an optional pasteurizer, optional decolourizing system, and to a final destination tank. An optional pasteurizer reduces energy...
