Running at a Speed of 24,000 Packs Per Hour

The Tetra Pak A3/ Speed filling machine for Tetra Prisma Aseptic portion packs was deployed at the dairy producer after following a successful field test in 2012.

Running at a speed of 24,000 packs per hour, or approximately seven packs per second, Tetra Pak A3/ Speed is one of the world's fastest filling machine for carton packages, pushing operational cost down by as much as 35%.

Mengniu was running two filling machines at full capacity in 2012, delivering an annual output of 94 million packs, but was still not able to keep up with demand.

Gao Jianjun, factory manager of Mengniu Dairy, said: "Within ten months of installing the first Tetra Pak A3/ Speed, 100 million packages had been produced on a single line, and we were able to reduce the overall operational cost for Latte by 20% in comparison with low speed filling machines. Based on these results, we made the decision to order three more lines."

The installation of Tetra Pak A3/ Speed enabled Mengniu to triple its line productivity, which greatly increased its production capacity.
