Tetra Pak and Zumos Valencianos del Mediterraneo, a consortium of 57 fresh citrus producers, announce the start of production at one of the biggest and most modern not-from-concentrate (NFC) juice plants in Europe.
Located in Puerto de Sagunto, Spain, the 140,000 sq m facility is equipped with Tetra Pak technologies and processing solutions for juice. These include units for pasteurisation, aseptic filling and emptying of 80 stainless steel tanks, cleaning in place, blending and delivering in bulks.
“In selecting the processing solutions for our new plant, we had a few essential requirements: unsurpassed food safety, the finest product quality and the highest levels of efficiency at the lowest operational cost and environmental impact,” said José Maria Andueza, MD Zuvamesa.
“The Tetra Pak solutions provide maximum production availability and optimisation of operational costs, thanks to a highly automated process control, which calculates production data in real time,” he added. “This is exactly what we need to boost our competitiveness in the market.”
