(PRESS RELEASE) LAUSANNE, 12-Mar-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Tetra Pak has unveiled its latest innovation, the Ingredient Doser 4000 A3, a breakthrough solution that promises to transform the production of gourmet ice cream. Engineered for exceptional precision, the doser delivers inclusions—be they oversized cookie chunks, succulent cherries, or powdered spices—with unparalleled accuracy. This advanced system reaches the dosing set point three times faster than its predecessors, reducing start-up waste by an impressive 67% and significantly enhancing production efficiency.

In a market where premium ice cream is booming, expected to grow by $13.96 billion at an 18.32% CAGR from 2023 to 2028, manufacturers are constantly seeking ways to innovate and stand out. The Ingredient Doser 4000 A3 meets this challenge by ensuring every scoop reflects the perfect balance of texture and flavor. With the ability to handle both fine, dry ingredients and larger, sticky inclusions up to 32mm in diameter, this system not only streamlines production but also allows brands to experiment with bold, creative recipes.

Hygiene and energy efficiency are also at the forefront of the design. The doser is 3-A certified, which represents the gold standard in hygienic food equipment, and its motor consumes 11% less energy than the IE3 regulatory benchmark. Additionally, the direct drive mechanism linking the auger and agitator enables capacity adjustments without the need for changeovers, maximizing uptime and further reducing costs. Beyond ice cream, this versatile machine is equally suited for processing other food products such as peanut butter, cream cheese, and mayonnaise.

Digital innovation is woven into the fabric of the Ingredient Doser 4000 A3. Equipped with a network of sensors and automated algorithmic responses, the system maintains peak performance while reducing downtime, waste, and wear. Its intuitive operator interface offers real-time production insights from day one, facilitating the optimization of production lines and resource use.

By integrating advanced dosing technology with user-friendly design, Tetra Pak has once again set a new benchmark for food production equipment, enabling manufacturers to cater to evolving consumer tastes and drive sustainable growth in a competitive market.
