The magic inside airtight separators

Tetra Pak’s design concept for separators, with its closed, airtight (or hermetic) system, eliminates the limitations of open (also known as semi-open) separators. The airtight system means a process that is gentler on your liquid, and one that slashes energy consumption by as much as half.

For example, a Tetra Pak AirTight separator for hot-milk separation with a capacity of about 55,000 litres per hour, fitted with a low-pressure system, consumes approximately 24kW. A comparable traditional semi-open separator consumes about 50kW. This potential to cut energy costs by up to half is created by the closed airtight system, which reduces friction and therefore requires less energy.
