Product catalog summary
Application
The Tetra Pak® Standardization unit is designed for automatic in-line standardization of fat, total solids, solids-non-fat, and protein content in milk and cream immediately after milk separation. It is suitable for various dairy products such as market milk, cream, flavored milk, cream for butter, milk for fermented products, cheese milk, whey, ice-cream mix, and functional foods.
Highlights
  • Reliable performance with maximum line utilization and uniform product quality.
  • Minimal cream giveaway with a precision of +/- 0.015% on milk fat, leading to significant savings.
  • Versatile and customizable for unlimited capabilities.
Working Principle
The system ensures accurate fat content by controlling the back pressure of the separator cream outlet using a cascade control system. It maintains constant skim milk pressure with a pressure-modulating valve. Flow transmitters measure cream and standardized milk flow, while a mass-flow transmitter calculates fat content. The control panel computer adjusts the cream-flow modulating valve to maintain desired fat content. A surplus cream line regulates remix cream flow into the skim milk line for standardization.
Basic Unit Features
  • Includes mass-flow and flow transmitters, control valves, pressure gauge, and a stainless steel control panel with Siemens or Rockwell system.
  • Equipped with a human-machine interface touch screen and prepared for remote operation.
  • Comes with technical documentation, internal wiring, and piping, all pre-assembled on a stainless steel frame.
Optional Features
  • Automatic calibration for solids non-fat variations.
  • Ratio control between fat/protein or fat/solids non-fat.
  • Cold milk standardization (6-12°C).
  • Additive options for milk and cream.
  • SpotOn technology for automatic in-line compensation.
  • OneStep integration and 3A version.
  • Mix-proof valve and communication with supervisory systems.
  • Uninterrupted power supply (UPS) and air cooler with compressor for control panel.
  • Process analysis instrument.
Processing Parameters
  • Raw milk flow rate: 5,000 - 75,000 l/h.
  • Hot milk standardization temperature: 45 - 65°C.
Consumption Data
  • Power consumption: 0.5 kW.
  • Instrumental air: 600 kPa, 200 Nl/min.
Dimensions and Shipping Data
  • Frame size options: Small and Regular.
  • Height: 2,000 mm (Small), 2,200 mm (Regular).
  • Width: 800 mm (Small), 1,275 mm (Regular).

TETRA PAK® STANDARDIZATION UNIT-1

TETRA PAK® STANDARDIZATION UNIT Direct in-line standardization of all dairy products The Tetra Pak® Standardization unit is designed for automatic in-line standardization of the fat, total solids, solids-non-fat and protein content in milk and cream directly after milk separation. The solution is ideal for dairy products including: low and high fat market milk, market cream, flavoured milk, cream for butter making, milk for fermented products and power production, cheese milk, whey, ice-cream mix, formulated products and functional foods. • Reliable performance with maximum line utilization and uniform product quality • Minimal cream giveaway, +/- 0.015% on milk fat for significant savings • Unlimited capabilities thanks to great versatility and customizations WORKING PRINCIPLE The system achieves accurate fat content, regardless of variations in the raw milk fat content, by continuously controlling the back pressure of the separator cream outlet in a cascade control system. The raw milk is separated while the skim milk pressure is kept constant by a continuous pressure-modulating valve. A flow transmitter measures the cream flow from the separator and a temperature compensating mass-flow transmitter calculates the fat content. Another flow transmitter measures the flow of standardized milk. On receiving signals from the transmitters, the computer in the control panel calculates the fat content in relation to set points and flow rates. It then transmits control signals to the cream-flow modulating valve, thereby controlling the fat content, whenever required. All models have a surplus cream line that is used for regulating the flow rate of remix cream into the skim milk line, thereby standardizing the
