This next-generation solution offers more precise dosing of ice cream inclusions, reducing start-up waste by 67 percent, as well as optimising production efficiency.

The gourmet ice cream market is projected to grow by $13.96 billion at an 18.32 percent CAGR from 2023 to 2028,[2] indicating that consumers are craving more than just classic flavours.

Whether it’s oversized cookie pieces, sticky cherries, or powdered spices, the Tetra Pak® Ingredient Doser 4000 A3 is designed to deliver even distribution, so that every scoop delivers the intended flavour experience. This precise ingredient control from hopper to product makes it easier to control costs, and can handle both small, dry ingredients and large, sticky inclusions, up to 32mm in diameter. It also reaches the dosing set point three times faster than previous models – down from 45 to just 15 seconds – eliminating 30 seconds of waste.

– Consistent dosing performance thanks to outstanding production control – reaches set point quickly after startup
– Even distribution of inclusions
– Low product deviation for enhanced cost control
– The ability to handle a wide range of inclusions – anything from powder to large pieces of sticky fruit (e.g., rum raisins)
– Many operator-friendly features, such as intuitive HMI, automatic auger detection, and open design for easy inspection
– Easy to clean and 3-A certified

The new doser is 3-A certified, meeting the gold standard of hygienic food equipment design. The motor offers 11 percent lower energy consumption than the IE3 regulatory standard, and the direct drive of auger and agitator allows manufacturers to alter the capacity of the doser without changeovers, maximising uptime and cutting costs further. It is also versatile enough for other foods like peanut butter, cream cheese, and mayonnaise, giving manufacturers the freedom to explore new possibilities beyond ice cream with this doser.

With the Tetra Pak® Ingredient Doser 4000 A3, indulgence has gone digital. A series of sensors and automated algorithmic responses keep it running at peak performance, which reduces downtime, waste, and wear while maintaining product quality and an even distribution of inclusions. This digitalisation also provides manufacturers with real-time production insights from day one, enabling them to optimise production lines for a more efficient use of resources.

These digital solutions are combined with new and improved operator interfaces and user-friendly design choices, aiming to provide an intuitive human-machine interface and an easy-to-clean and maintain doser for all operators.

Hemang Dholakia, Processing Director for Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, and Indonesia, Tetra Pak added: “At Tetra Pak, we are committed to providing solutions that help our customers innovate, keeping efficiency and sustainability at the core. The Tetra Pak® Ingredient Doser 4000 A3 is one such new innovation. It facilitates our customers to ride on the wave for premium ice-cream in an efficient manner. It offers more precise dosing, which helps reduce start-up waste significantly, supporting manufacturers in improving production efficiency. This solution allows brands to experiment with bold ingredients while maintaining consistency, all while being energy-efficient and designed for easy integration into existing production lines.”
