Tetra Pak, a leading food processing and packaging solutions company, will showcase its products which focus on innovation at the Gulfood Manufacturing 2015, later this month, in Dubai, UAE.

Tetra Pak booth comprises six key areas: technical services, processing solutions, supply chain, marketing services, environment solutions, product portfolio (wall of fame), said a statement from the company.

A few highlights include:

•    Tetra Pak E3 a filling machine platform that uses electron beams instead of hydrogen peroxide to sterilise packaging material. Tetra Pak E3 brings a range of benefits to customers. With the potential to run up to 40,000 portion-packages every hour, the new filling platform lowers operational costs, improves environmental performance and increases production flexibility.

•    Water filtration unit, a latest innovation that delivers savings of up to 95 per cent on water used for packaging lines and 10 per cent on water used in processing lines.

•    Virtual training modules for customers’ production staff, showcased through a virtual reality training simulator.

Tetra Pak will also host a series of seminars for customers during the show, said the statement.

The seminars will include a ‘Tetra Pak Dairy Index’ seminar to present the latest results reported in the 2015 edition of this valuable and globally recognised report for the liquid milk industry.

The ‘Tetra Pak Food Protection Technologies’ seminar during which customers will explore how the company, as a total system supplier and partner can provide enhanced food protection.

As well as the Tetra Pak “Deeper in the Pyramid” seminar to highlight the market opportunities presented to deliver safe, healthy, nutritious and affordable products to the millions of consumers in low-income households, particularly in fast-growing emerging markets.
