Tetra Pak has launched the TR/G7 low cost, easy-to-operate filling machine for chilled distribution.

Available at around 50% lower initial investment than other Tetra Pak gable top machines, it has a capacity of 6500 gable top packages per hour, which the food processing and packaging company said can cut  electricity consumption by a third.

Compactly designed and taking up less than 19m2 of floor space, the machine is suitable for smaller factories.

Developed in collaboration with filling machine producer, Galdi, Tetra Pak TR/G7 is designed for a range of extended shelf-life products, including white milk, juice and still drinks

Per Lauritzen, VP carton gable top at Tetra Pak, said: “It is not only suitable for small and medium dairies who are looking for low cost investment, but also for producers that intend to upgrade their existing lines, especially in markets like Europe and Japan
