Tetra Pneumatic Centrifugal Separator "Environmental Edition" officially unveiled

Tetra Pak Environmentally Friendly Air-Conditioning Centrifugal Separator

[October 19, 2009, Lund, Sweden] Tetra Centri AirTight Eco separator, the world's leading provider of food processing and packaging solutions, today officially launched the Tetra Centri AirTight Eco separator. This is the world's first air-tight direct-drive dairy separator for all large-capacity dairy companies. Compared to traditional open splitters, the combined energy consumption can be reduced by up to 35%, and the overhaul interval of the equipment can be doubled compared to the belt drive splitter.

Lars Jacobsson, General Manager of Processing Equipment at Tetra Pak Group, said: "The Tetra Pak Centrifugal Separator series enjoys a good reputation in the industry. The new generation of environmentally friendly separators introduced this time. Another breakthrough in this series. The separator has a number of major innovations that have enabled the equipment to operate at an unprecedented rate and significantly reduce its environmental impact, helping customers reduce costs while meeting environmental requirements. ”

Three major technological innovations

The Tetra Pak Environmentally Friendly Hermetic Centrifuge has three innovative technologies: the eDrive drive system, the eMotion rotary system and the eCon control system. The eDrive drive system is a new patented technology that does not use gears and the motor is directly connected to the vertical shaft of the drive body. This design increases equipment uptime and reduces costs compared to belt driven separators. Due to the reduced running parts and less wear and tear, the mechanicality of the equipment is much simpler. The overhaul interval has been extended from 8,000 hours to 16,000 hours, and the amount of lubricant used has been reduced by 90%.

The eMotion rotation system is also a patented technology that greatly reduces the friction of parts inside the separator, thereby reducing energy loss and reducing equipment energy consumption by more than 50%. Compared with the traditional open separator, it is equivalent to the whole separation. The overall energy consumption of the equipment is reduced by up to 35%. In addition, the technology reduces equipment noise by 3 decibels while the temperature of the equipment surface is reduced accordingly.

The eCon control system is a fully in-line control system that controls all the support functions of the separator, such as cooling, lubrication, and slagging. Dairy companies can therefore simplify and improve monitoring systems and equipment operation notification systems, and improve system reliability and reduce the number of unplanned downtimes.

Advanced airtight technology

One of the features of the Tetra Pneumatic Centrifugal Separator series is the airtight port device for the milk input and output ports, which prevents unclean air from entering the separator and ensures that the milk has no contact with the unclean air. At the same time, the milk passes through the new eDrive drive system, gently entering the carcass from the bottom of the device, which ensures that the fat globules and particles are not destroyed. For this reason, the Tetra Pak Environmentally Friendly Hermetic Centrifuge is more efficient in separating fat and impurities and concentrating butter than other types of equipment on the market.

Dairy enterprise customers who use the “Tele Environmentally-friendly Air-Conditioning Centrifugal Separator” can enjoy Tetra's quality and performance maintenance services. The equipment's various indicators, such as energy consumption standards and effective running time, are included in the contract. It is clearly stipulated that the actual production effect of the equipment can be fully guaranteed.
