ACHIEVE HIGH PROFITABILITY THROUGH SEPARATION EFFICIENCY
AirTight design
AirTight design for high profitability
- Excellent food safety and product quality since hermetic seals prevent intake of destructive air
- AirTight technology enables superior separation efficiency with lower operation cost
- Separator designed for unmatched flexibility in both capacity and recipe range
- Tetra Pak® AirTight technology cuts energy use by up to 20% vs. semi-open design solution

Polynode Disc for higher capacity and better performance
Polynode Disc
Higher capacity and better performance
- Innovative, one-piece disc construction increases disc capacity, separation surface and improves skimming performance.
- Eliminating traditional welded spacers and replacing them with streamlined, machine-embossed polynodes increases stability, higher flow rate and improved performance.

Optional Tetra Pak Encapt enables revolutionary energy-saving technology for high-capacity separators
Optional Tetra Pak® Encapt™ technology
Revolutionary energy-saving technology for high-capacity separators
- Lowered pressure and reduced air friction due to Encapt™ reduces energy consumption by up to 40% compared to other separators
- Improves both operational cost and environmental impact

DISCOVER THE MAGIC INSIDE TETRA PAK® AIRTIGHT SEPARATORS
Purpose of Centrifugal separators: To separate milk into cream and skimmed milk, particles from juice for clarity
The Magic Inside Tetra Pak® Airtight Separators:
- Closed design allows for varied flow without any risk of air incorporation or overflow.
- Product naturally flows with the centrifugal force, slashing your energy consumption by as much as 50%.
- High flexibility (e.g. Cold milk separation at 5°C)

Why standard steel won’t suffice for dairy separators
Why standard steel won’t suffice for dairy separators
For separators made of ordinary grades of stainless steel, the use of lye or acid for cleaning-in-place can make a caustic or acidic combination with milk deposits that is damaging in the long run. For lower total cost of ownership over the equipment’s decades-long life, higher steel grades are a better investment.
PORTFOLIO OF SEPARATORS

Tetra Pak Separators
Ensure high capacity and efficient performance
Smooth product treatment results in greater skimming efficiency and reduced energy consumption. The separators maintain the quality of your products by preventing air from entering the process.
Hot Milk Capacity: 7,000 l/h to 75,000 l/h
Cold Milk Capacity: 10,000 l/h to 50,000 l/h
Operational Efficiency: Unmatched flexibility (capacity and recipe range), superior separation efficiency with AirTight Technology
Applications: Clarification & Separation; Milk, Whey, Tea, Coffee, Virgin Coconut Oil. Dairy milk spore removal, AMF, separation & concentration. Coconut water separation and more.

Tetra Pak Bactofuge
Units for removal of spores and bacteria or concentration of protein
Traditionally incorporated in the pre-treatment of cheese milk, where typically butter acid spores (Anaerobic spores) are removed. Bactofuge units are also used to enhance the quality of powders, consumption milk and cream where typically aerobic spores (e.g. Bacillus Cerus) are removed.
Capacity: 5,000 l/h to 55,000 l/h
Operational Efficiency: Unmatched flexibility (capacity and recipe range), superior spore and bacteria removal efficiency with AirTight Technology
Applications: Pre-treatment of cheese milk, consumption milk, milk for powder production, whey and protein

Tetra Pak Clarifiers
Milk, Whey & Beverage clarification
- Tetra Pak® Clarifier can be used to process both hot and cold milk. Most efficient reduction of leucocytes and bacteria achieved at 50-60 deg. Celsius.
- Centrifugal clarifier upstream of the whey separator is the most efficient way to remove cheese fine lines for optimum fat separation and long run times.
- Excellent reduction of product turbidity and removal of impurities for beverage clarification
Capacity: 15,000 l/hr to 70,000 l/hr
Operational Efficiency: Excellent product quality, superior clarification efficiency with AirTight technology and unmatched production flexibility.
Applications: Dairy milk, whey, Tea & Coffee clarification
