Tetra Pak®, the world leader in food processing and packaging solutions, has launched Tetra Vertico®, a new generation of heat exchanger unit. Using an innovative coiled mono-tube design instead of the traditional tubular and scrape heat exchangers, the equipment offers customers greater versatility and efficiency in heating and cooling a wide range of prepared food products.
“Tetra Vertico provides the perfect solution for customers that need flexible and efficient processing solutions, while maintaining high standards of food safety and quality,” said Henrik Jönsson, Global Category Director Prepared Food. “It is suitable for a large variety of foods, with low or high viscosity, smooth or with particles.”
The unique design of the coiled mono-tube, along with a higher pressure rating, enables Tetra Vertico to deliver a number of advantages compared to traditional heat exchangers, including:
• Greater processing capacity of high viscosity products
• Reduction in both system volumes and holding times by up to 20% (compared to concentric heat exchangers)
• Reduction in product losses by up to 6% (compared to concentric heat exchangers)
• More gentle mechanical treatment, making it suitable for foods with big particles
• EHEDG certified
The unit is designed with high hygiene standards and optimized CIP (Cleaning-In-Place) and maintenance processes, leading to greater efficiency savings, in addition to higher quality standards.
Tetra Vertico is now available worldwide and is backed by performance guarantees.
