Tetra Pak has expanded its hot fill / high acid portfolio, with the introduction of a new automated pasteurizer suitable for sauces, dressings, pastes, dips, soups and other prepared food applications.
With an ability to switch readily between hot- and ambient-filled products, the new Tetra Pak Pasteurizer PF will allow food producers to meet shifts in market demand, the company claims.
Tetra Pak Pasteurizer PF can either be used as a standalone system or be integrated with other Tetra Pak equipment on a processing line.
It can handle products with particles up to 9 mm and a wide range of viscosities.
Additional functions can be also added in stages to the equipment due to its modular format.
Tetra Pak centre of expertise for prepared food manager Anders Yngwe S derstjerna said: "The user-friendly technology and level of automation incorporated within Tetra Pak Pasteurizer PF adds up to a compelling solution for a broad customer profile in the prepared food industry.
"Its competitively low cost of total ownership also positions it as the ideal point of entry system for companies that hitherto have been unable to access this market."
