What if you could completely avoid manual cleaning—or reduce it to just a simple wipe? With the Tetra Pak® Air Jet Cleaning system for Powder, that’s now a reality. This patented technology revolutionizes powder handling by replacing traditional liquid-based CIP (Clean-in-Place) methods with the power of air.

As product variety expands and consumer expectations evolve, manufacturers face the challenge of frequent recipe changes, each requiring thorough cleaning. The Air Jet Cleaning system offers a smarter, faster solution. It uses high-speed jets of compressed air to break the bond between powder particles and stainless steel surfaces, as well as between the particles themselves. These particles are then suspended and extracted using a vacuum system, leaving minimal residue behind.

This dry-cleaning approach enables faster changeovers, reduces downtime, and eliminates the need for equipment drying – saving both time and energy. It also enhances food safety by preventing bacterial growth on moist surfaces, contributing to more hygienic operations and reducing the risk of contamination.

In the video, you’ll see the system in action inside a Tetra Pak® Powder Mixer B, showcasing its speed, efficiency, and ease of use. But the benefits extend beyond this single application.

The Tetra Pak® Air Jet Cleaning system for Powder can be fitted not only to the Tetra Pak® Powder Mixer B range of paddle mixers but also to other brands and types of powder handling equipment. It represents a paradigm shift in the cleaning of powders.

Let air do the cleaning so you can keep on producing!

Highlights:

  • Increase operational efficiency − save time and reduce product losses.
  • Quick changeovers − switch easily from one recipe to another.
  • Maintain consistent product quality.
  • Safeguard food by reducing the risk of contamination.
