Zuvamesa Commences Production At New Tetra Pak Equipped NFC Juice Plant In Spain
Tetra Pak, a food processing and packaging company, and Zumos Valencianos del Mediterraneo (Zuvamesa), a syndicate of 57 fresh citrus producers, have begun the production of not-from-concentrate (NFC) juice plants in Europe.
Zuvamesa's target is to process up to 400,000 tonnes of local citrus and produce up to 100 million liters of NFC juice per year in the new facility.
The 140,000sqmt facility, located in Puerto de Sagunto, Spain, is equipped with its technologies and processing systems for juice. The company claims that the new unit provides Zuvamesa, with a cost effective and highly efficient facility for the manufacture of juice for export.
The company said that it has equipped Zuvamesa’s new plant with customized processing systems that include units for aseptic filling and emptying of 80 stainless steel tanks, pasteurization, blending and delivering in bulks, and cleaning in place.
Jose Maria Andueza, managing director of Zuvamesa, said: “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.
“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. This is exactly what we need to boost our competitiveness in the market.”
