TEC Square continuous extraction – Efficient and consistent quality
TEC Square has developed a simple and effective way to extract coffee, tea or, for instance, soy beans in a continuous way. The process is based on a couple of very simple principle design features:
- Effective mixing of ingredients in water.
- Milling the ingredients in line, without having contact to air.
- Effective separation of liquid and solids phase.
- The solid phase can be washed, and any remaining solids can be recuperated.
- The liquid phase is forwarded to a final cleaning operation.
This process can be enhanced by additional extraction steps if required.
This method of extraction is rather simple and can be operated in a 1-shift operation if needed. It is ideal for Multi-SKU production schedules, and is easy to clean. During long runs this system provides quality and consistency.
This extraction system is very versatile and can be used for a variety of products.
- Cold Brew Coffee Extraction
- Soy Milk Extraction
- Vegan Drink Extraction
- Protein Extraction
- Rice milk Extraction
- Almond milk Extraction
- Barley Milk Extraction
- Pea Extraction
