Units for removal of spores and bacteria
• Excellent product quality since hermetic seals prevent intake of destructive air
• AirTight technology enables superior spore and bacteria removal efficiency
• Bactofuge units designed for unmatched flexibility in both capacity and recipe range
Tetra Pak® Bactofuge unit
Tetra Pak® Bactofuge units are 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.
The efficiency of the unit is stated as a percentage reduction of the incoming level of bacteria and spores. Generally, the efficiency can go up to 99 %. For installations with high demand on efficiency, two or more units can be installed in series.
Quickfacts
Units for removal of spores and bacteria, or concentration of protein
CAPACITY
5,000 l/hr to 55,000 l/hr
APPLICATIONS
Pre-treatment of cheese milk, consumption milk, milk for powder production, whey and protein concentration.
Superior spore and bacteria removal and energy efficiency
Outside the unit, the piping is connected to a rotating spindle by hermetic seals. This prevents any air from entering the Bactofuge unit and any product from leaking out. The absence of air minimizes the risk of particle and aggregate size being reduced. It enables better spore and bacteria removal efficiency at a lower rotation speed and hence lowers energy consumption.
