Tetra Pak® High Shear Mixer

Product catalog summary
Overview
The Tetra Pak® High Shear Mixer is designed for the dairy, beverage, and food industries, offering high shear mixing, high capacity, energy efficiency, and minimal raw material losses. It is fully automated and minimizes air incorporation while being self-pumping.

Applications
This mixer is suitable for a wide range of applications, ensuring efficient and reliable mixing processes that produce homogeneous and lump-free products ready for further processing.

Working Principle
The mixer features a vacuum mixing tank with a turbo unit located at the center outlet. The rotor and perforated stator ensure optimal wetting and processing. Mixing under vacuum de-aerates the product, reducing foam-related issues and improving product quality. Ingredients are automatically added during circulation until a homogeneous mix is achieved.

Main Components
  • Vacuum vessel
  • High-shear turbo unit with water-flushed seal
  • Vacuum system
  • Funnel for minor ingredients
  • Multiple inlets for liquids and powders
  • Automatic level control
  • CIP (Clean-in-Place) system
  • Sight glass

Materials
All product-contact parts are made from stainless steel AISI 316L, while other parts use AISI 304.

Options
  • Inlet and outlet pumps
  • Propeller for turbo unit
  • Various powder hoppers
  • Powder valve SPV-05
  • Relay and PLC control panels
  • Non-standard power supply options
  • Speed control for mixing unit
  • Air cooler for PLC cabinet
  • Suction lance
  • Concentrate charge system

Tetra Pak® High Shear Mixer-1

Tetra Pak® High Shear Mixer Vacuum recirculation units R200-200V, R200-800V and R300-2500V Working principle • High shear mixing • High capacity • Energy efficient • Low raw material losses • Fully automated • Minimal air incorporation • Self pumping The main component is a vacuum mixing tank with a turbo unit, located in a pump housing at the centre outlet of the tank. The turbo unit with a rotor and perforated stator ensures optimal wetting and processing. Powders and liquids are added automatically into the mixer during circulation. The process continues until all products have been added, and the mix is homogeneous. The automatic level control maintains an optimum level in the mixer, optimizing the rate of powder addition and securing efficient mixing. This Tetra Pak ® High Shear Mixer is designed for a wide range of applications in the dairy, beverage and food industry. The unit is fully automated to ensure an efficient and reliable mixing process. The efficient mixing system produces homogeneous and lump-free products, ready for further processing. Mixing under vacuum de-aerates the product and reduces foam-related problems. The vacuum is also used to drive powder/liquid transport into the mixing tank below liquid level. This ensures optimal wetting of powders, improving mixing and promoting product quality. The rotor draws ingredients into the in-line mixing unit and pushes them out through the holes in the perforated stator. During this process, impeller wings at the bottom of the rotor subject the product to high shear. As the in-line mixing unit is placed beneath the mixing tank, the product passes the mixing unit a
