DfE: Design for Environment
Modern dairies want to combine
maximum production efficiency with
minimum environmental impact.
Tetra Pak focuses on environmentally
efficient production solutions, in order
to support customer needs. “Design
for Environment” (DfE) is the
practice of integrating environmental
aspects into product design and development.
DfE is applied in the design of
components and modules - as well as
complete production lines and plants,
to minimise product losses and the
use of water, energy and detergent.
DfE also ensures that our equipment
and production units do not contain
or use any hazardous matter, diminishing
the environmental impact of
decommissioning.
Tetra Centri AirTight Eco
Thus, for instance the innovations inside
the new Tetra Centri AirTight
Eco dairy separator boost operational
efficiency, save on costs, reduce environmental
impact and improve profits
for dairy producers. The world’s
most efficient separator drive, our
new gearless direct eDrive, doubles
the length of our customers’ intervals
between major services. And the
groundbreaking new eMotion system
reduces the energy consumption of
our customers’ overall separation system
by up to 35%. Reducing energy
consumption significantly shrinks
your CO2 footprint. And lower heat
Drives the Evolution
generation reduces the need for oil
and lubrication.
Tetra Therm Aseptic Visco
Another example is Tetra Pak’s newly
launched Tetra Therm Aseptic Visco
unit, for high viscous and particulate
products that cuts products losses by
up to 50%, boosts production flexibility,
and further maximizes food safety
thanks to an innovative new heat exchanger.
The Tetra Therm Aseptic
Visco high pressure unit is a continuous
food-processing unit that enables
efficient high-capacity UHT
treatment for high viscous soups and
sauces, tomato pastes, custard desserts,
fruit preparations, vegetable
purees and baby food products. The
capacity of this unit for high viscous
products can run up to 18,000 liters/
hour and higher.
The heart of the unit is equipped
with a high-pressure-rated coil tubular
heat exchanger, called Tetra Vertico,
that handles pressures up to 350
bar and enables higher in-pipe velocity
and lower system volumes - meaning
it takes fewer liters to fill up the
system, which translates into smaller
mix zones (product/water), shorter
change over times, faster start-up as
well as lower losses and less waste.
The hygienic design of the new
Tetra Therm Aseptic Visco unit maximizes
food safety with the fewest possible
welds and easy to clean surfaces.
Advanced automation ensures total
production control and full traceability,
while reducing downtime and the
risk of human error.
Tetra Pak
Tetra Pak continuously evaluates
novel technologies that may have an
impact on the way dairy products
are processed. In order for novel
technologies to be accepted by the
industry and consumers they must
offer substantial values in terms of
product quality or safety, operational
cost or environmental impact.
Operating in more than 190 markets
with over 21,600 employees,
Tetra Pak believes in responsible industry
leadership, creating profitable
growth in harmony with good corporate
citizenship and a sustainable approach
to business.
We work closely with our suppliers
and customers on preferred processing
and packaging solutions to provide
convenient, innovative and environmentally
sound products to
millions of people worldwide. ■
