The Tetra Park Integrated Heat Pump system has been added to the brand's Factory Sustainable Solutions portfolio to enhance the sustainability and reduce energy use related to pasteurizers. The system builds on the brand's existing pasteurization technology and incorporates a high-efficiency electric heat pump that will recover and reuse the heat that's generated from the pasteurization process. This is reported to equate to up to 2kWh of recovered heat for every 1kWh of electricity used to prioritize a reduction in energy use that will help to cut costs on multiple fronts.
Vice President Key Components, Plant Solutions and Channel Management Fiona Liebehenz spoke on the Tetra Park Integrated Heat Pump system saying, "We’re proud that our long-standing experience in developing processing solutions for the food and beverage industry, together with a strong focus on innovation, has led to another important step forward. By blending advanced technology with a deep understanding of the daily challenges F&B producers face, we’ve developed a solution designed to make one of the most energy-intensive stages of food production more efficient.”
