PA - Tetra Pak

• Processing and packaging of pasteurised milk and dairy alternatives.
• Filling and packaging of fruit juices and nectars.
• Production of extended shelf life (ESL) beverages.
• Packaging of liquid food products requiring aseptic or hygienic conditions.

Typical throughput (filling)

For this class of equipment, filling lines commonly achieve outputs ranging from 3,000 to 10,000 packs per hour, depending on pack size and product viscosity.

Pack formats

Units of this type typically handle various carton formats, including commonly found 250ml and 1000ml bases, with options for straw application.

Integrated packaging

Packaging sections commonly include tray packers and shrink wrappers for secondary packaging of finished goods.

Ancillary equipment

Processing plants typically incorporate storage tanks (e.g., 4,000L to 10,000L) for raw materials or intermediate products.

Power supply

Industrial processing and packaging lines commonly require a three-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage depending on the total installed power.

Control systems

Modern plants of this nature typically feature PLC-based control systems for automated operation and process monitoring.

• What is the typical footprint for a plant of this size?

  The footprint can vary significantly based on configuration and included components. Buyers should anticipate requiring a substantial industrial space, potentially several hundred square metres, and consult the seller for exact dimensions of the available units.

• Are spare parts readily available for Tetra Pak equipment?

• What utilities are required to operate this type of plant?

• Can this equipment be reconfigured for different products?

• What level of automation can be expected?

Pasteurizers and sterilizers are valued for their reliability and consistent performance in food processing operations. Buyers typically prioritise machines with robust construction, proper documentation of maintenance history, and clear evidence of compliance with food safety standards. Key considerations when purchasing used equipment include verification of accurate temperature control systems, integrity of seals and gaskets, and compatibility with existing production lines. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of thorough testing before installation and sourcing from reputable sellers with transparent equipment provenance.
