Mixing and Blending
MIXING AND BLENDING SYSTEMS - MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE
Tetra Pak CPS has been engineering and building mixing and blending systems for the liquid foods and dairy industries for over five decades. During that time the company has become the recognised leader in its field and continues to set the pace for new technologies into the 21st century.
Mixing and blending equipment can be complicated and therefore the need to draw on the wealth of experience and engineering resource at Tetra Pak CPS should be the first step in any system design.
Products
Typical products currently being processed using Tetra Pak CPS systems include:

Agitation
Agitation is one of the keys to achieving the required product and a number of agitator types are available:
- Turbine
- Propeller
- Shear
- Gate
- Scraped surface
In addition to those individual offerings, Tetra Pak CPS provides a combination of the above, which can be engineered into a customised vessel by the in-house team of skilled fabricators at the modern facility in Sherborne.
Heat Treatment
For in-vessel heat treatment, a range of jackets is available, with either steam/hot water for heating products, or chilled/cold water for cooling. Tetra Pak CPS has specially engineered its systems to allow the same jacket to be used for clients dealing with both heating and cooling. Alternatively, heat treatment can be achieved externally (e.g. via plate heat exchanger) or by a combination of internal and external heating and cooling.
Materials
Tetra Pak CPS has an in-depth knowledge of varying grades of stainless steel and these are selected to offer maximum corrosion resistance and compliance with stringent hygiene regulations, resulting in a cost effective solution for the client.
Systems
A mixing and blending system can be as simple as a vessel with agitation through to a fully skid mounted PLC controlled system with heating, cooling, homogenisation and powder incorporation among the possible features that can be included.
The majority of systems built by Tetra Pak CPS are PLC controlled and incorporate a modem for remote software support from Tetra Pak CPS technical engineers based in Sherborne. This also allows a link into internal factory networks for data acquisition.
ARE PRODUCT LOSSES IMPORTANT TO YOU?
Tetra Pak CPS has been awarded a major contract for mixing and blending dairy based desserts, following the success of a proven design on an existing plant. These losses are typically as low as 1.25% (50kg on a 4,000kg batch). Whether your requirements are for a small, simple system or a larger scale project, Tetra Pak CPS can design, engineer and build to meet both your technical and budgetary needs.
