Tetra Pak, a leading food processing and packaging solutions company, has launched a new high-capacity extrusion line, an efficient solution for large-scale production of ice cream sticks and sandwiches.
According to a press note issued by the company, the new line has the highest capacity in the industry, delivering up to 43,200 pieces per hour against an industry average of 36,000 for this segment.
It claims, when the line is running at full capacity, operational costs and environmental impact are the lowest in the industry: a 60% increase in production is achieved without extra manpower and with only 44% more energy.
“For 70 years we’ve been helping our customers deliver quality ice cream products with outstanding taste and texture,” states Peter Lindstrom, ice cream category director, Tetra Pak. “This new solution allows them to increase production volumes, while delivering the same high quality at a significantly reduced cost per product.”
