Tetra Pak, Vernon Hills, Ill., launched Tetra Alsafe for extended shelf-life (ESL) production, an automated tank with constant temperature control that preserves product quality between processing and packaging.

Tetra Alsafefor ESL production adds a continuous circular configuration to the filling line, enabling products to continue to circulate under refrigerated conditions in the event of an unplanned stoppage. This eliminates the risk of bacteria growth that can arise when the temperature of the product increases, as it remains stationary during an unplanned stoppage.
