The Tetra Pak Scanima
Concept
Tetra Pak Scanima A/S is a leading manufacturer of high-shear mixing solutions for a wide range of
demanding applications, including food processing, emulation, and high-viscous ingredients.

Doc. No. TeM-T5845707212 1 - 3 (10)

 Turbo mixer unit
The heart of a Tetra Almix is the bottom-mounted turbo mixer unit. A perforated stator surrounds a
high-speed rotor causing a complex flow pattern with high velocity gradients and turbulence levels.
The shear and energy dissipation rates in this system are several orders of magnitude higher than in
conventional stirred vessels. Consequently, the turbo mixer unit is effectively used to carry out
liquid-liquid homogenization, dispersion and emulsification as well as solids-liquid dispersion,
dissolving and grinding. In fact – the mixing process is so intense that even powders that are
notoriously difficult to wet, such as Pectin and Xanthan gum, are dissolved completely within
seconds and stable emulsions with sub-micron drop sizes are formed rapidly with only a few passes
through the turbo unit.
An optional add-on feature is the unique and patented Dynamic Shear System which enables the
operator to adjust the shear rate during the mixing process - even under full load conditions. A
pneumatic actuator system enables the stator to move in and out of the rotor outflow stream and
thereby transforms the high-shear mixing into gentle blending or visa-versa. This unique
technology allows otherwise separate mixing tasks to be completed in one single mixer and in one
single process. The production of an emulsion dressing with added shear sensitive vegetables is an
excellent example of this.
Numerous stator types are available to accommodate the need for different mixing intensity
dictated by different products. The geometry and area of the stator openings in combination with
the rotor speed and rotor-stator size are selected to fit the process. Likewise, several types of knifes
and propellers are available for mounting on the rotor shaft above the turbo mixer unit. Each type is
optimized for specific applications such as cutting fibres, disintegrating hard or frozen lumps or
promoting bulk motion.

Goods reception
The crates are designed to protect the equipment during transportation only. When the crates are
delivered to the site, unpack the crates as soon as possible.
Always take delivery of the goods.
It is important to check the goods immediately upon delivery whether they appear damaged or not.
The purpose of this is to minimise the extent of any possible damage, prevent further aggravation of
the damage, secure the rights of recovery against the carrier, and enable a swift and correct handling
of the claim.
Take the following steps immediately upon receipt of the goods:
Note! Never sign for damaged goods without making a written remark about the damage on the
freight document, for example, the way bill, or the delivery receipt. Make a written remark on both
the customer´s and the carrier´s copies. Get the signature from the carrier representative, for
example, the driver, on both.
Take at least one detailed picture and a broad picture, to show the arrival condition of the goods.

Lifting and unloading the

crated equipment
The crates are designed to unload from the delivery vehicle by a truck.

 Transport & Lifting
instructions
To avoid damage during transport, the mixer is wrapped in a plastic seal. Do not remove this seal
before the transportation work is complete.
In general the vessel is disassembled from motor foundation if total height of mixer is above
2300mm. The total height can be seen on layout drawing in chapter 9. If vessel is disassembled
from foundation it will lay down horizontally on a cradle. On separate pallet the motor foundation
with motor, transmission etc. will be placed.
To install mixer do following:
•Unload vessel and motor foundation from truck by using a fork lift.
•Take the vessel and motor foundation to installation area

 Positioning and assembly
All procedures and information in this section are related to the uncrated equipment or uncrated
main equipment parts at the final installation site.
Moving
Before moving the equipment, try gently to lift the equipment to find the centre of gravity before
lifting it from the ground.
To avoid damage during transport, the mixer is wrapped in a plastic seal. Do not remove this seal
before the transportation work is complete.
Make sure any local lifting regulations are observed.

Positioning
Before positioning any equipment makes sure that the floor is of adequate quality:
-Concrete composition and floor construction are determined by local ground conditions
-Surface reasonably smooth
-Covered with lye/acid proof paint or tiles – sloping towards the floor drains
Note! For efficient erection always use the assembly drawing and flow diagrams.
Try gently to lift the equipment to find the centre of gravity before lifting it from the ground.

 Controlling the V-belt tension
Before controlling the belt tension, the pulley on motor and turbo unit must be levelled correct.
Tension of the belts on a V-belt drive is usually not critical. A few simple rules will satisfy most
requirements.
The best tension is the lowest tension at which the belts will not slip under the highest load
conditions i.e. water - the highest current consumption
Check the tension frequently during the first weeks of operation
Check the tension periodically after this (monthly maintenance)
Keep belts and pulleys free of any foreign material which may cause slip
If a belt slips, tighten it.

CAUTION

With too much tension on the belts, jarring sounds will be heard from the bearings. 
Too much tension will shorten belt and bearing life!
Life-time
The lifetime of the bearings is based on a working time of about 6,000 hours. When overloading,
for example, at a too large V-belt tension, when missing lubrication or leaking oil seals, the lifetime
will be considerably reduced.
If jarring sounds are heard from the bearings, it is recommended to check and possibly replace
them. While the service is carried out, it is recommended that all bearings be replaced.
The shaft seals, the O-rings, drive seals, etc. can also last for about 6,000-12,000 hours at normal
operation. However, operation time will be considerably reduced if running dry.
It is, however, recommended to replace all seals in connection with a possible disassembling,
irrespective of the cause.

Levelling
Prior to installation of the levelling foot ensure that the floor does not exceed maximum slope.

Maximum
slope 5°

When installing, make sure that the footplate does not span over cracks, grout lines or other floor
imperfections. If unavoidable, seal the cavity with bonding material under and around the edge of
the footplate.

Lift or jack up the machinery or equipment to install the levelling foot.

Make sure that the sealing is correctly fixed on top of the sleeve. Grease the exposed thread with
FoodLube Universal Grease and make sure to remove any excess grease after installation.

Maximum
height

Repeat the last 2 steps for all feet supporting the machinery
Lower the machinery so that the feet rest on the floor. Perform final height and levelling
adjustments if needed and ensure that the load is uniformly distributed on all feet.

Use a wrench to rotate and tighten the sleeve against the machinery or equipment. Make sure that
the sleeve is tightened to counter-lock the levelling foot and cover the thread.

If the levelling foot is not fully inserted into the machinery or equipment the thread will
become partly exposed. In this case, it is not correctly installed and will neither meet 3A,
USDA & EHEDG hygienic demands nor load specifications.

Load cell calibration
When mixer is installed and level correct, the load cell calibration must be checked. Use known
weight of app. 80-120kg. Applied load over each load cell, one at a time. If there is deviation on
output (either measured by mV signal or read from control panel) higher than equal to ± 1kg, the
legs of the mixer must be adjusted further. The load cell with highest deviation must be adjusted by
turning the foot of the load cell.
When calibration is satisfactory, mixer is filled with known amount of water. Load is controlled
(measured by mV signal or read from control panel), and if necessary the gain on the amplifier is
calibrated. General recommendations for service media
The following specification is a short description upon the recommended quality demands for the
service media to be used in a TP Scanima process plant

 Steam
The requirements to steam quality depends on how the steam is utilized. If the steam is used for
indirect product heating (i.e. via the vessel jacket) the requirements are given in Table 2: Qulity
requirements to steam used for indirect product heating in stainless steed jacketed mixer vessels.

Humidity Dry saturated steam with max 5 % condensate

pH 7-9
Chloride < 2 ppm
Carbon dioxide < 2 ppm
Turbidity < 3 ppm KmnO4

 Condensate
The condensate system should be designed upon the same capacity pressure and temperature
demands as for the steam generating system.
Collection of the condensate should be:
Without back pressure, otherwise the condensate needs a pump to be sent back to the boiler.
With back pressure, max. 0.5 bar

Requirements of instrument air

Water will condense within the pneumatic system varying in quantities determined by the humidity
of the input air, the temperature of air before and after the compressor. In order to avoid
condensation, the air must be kept dry.
Dirt in the form of solid particles down to the size of 0.01mm must be filtered off. The filter must be
positioned in order for easy inspections. The filters must be inspected regularly and their inserts
must be replaced whenever necessary.
The air supply line must include a master shut off valve
Recommended pressure: 7-9 bar.

Doc. No. TeM-T5845707212 1 - 21 (10)

 Requirements of water
Water used in the mixer must be soft and clean in order to avoid deposits in vital parts. Deposits due
to water of inferior quality circulating in the mixer can cause malfunctions.
The hardness (concentration of Calcium carbonate CaCO3) of the water is important, as it could be
one of the ingredients in the product. Additionally, if the water is hard, deposits will accumulate in
all parts getting in contact with the water. This process will accelerate at high temperatures.
Recommended hardness: <7º dH
Water used for cooling, product flushing, rinsing and cleaning should meet the requirements of the
European drinking water directive or equivalent.
Temperature of cooling water must not exceed 25°C. Pressure should be min. 1 bar and maximum 3
bar.

Service Water Turbo unit

Service water is used at the turbo unit to cool down the bearing house, and as seal water to
mechanical shaft seal. Service water enters the turbo unit at the cooling house before going into the
mechanical shaft seals. This to minimize the difference in water pressures against the mechanical
shaft seal. From mechanical shaft seal the water goes to drainage.
The amount of water going into the turbo unit should be adjusted when mixer is running. The drain
waters temperature should be app. 35°C-40°C. Amount is adjusted on service water needle valve.
Normally the mixer will use app. 20 l/hrs of water. Caution not to add to high pressure on the water.
This will damage the shaft seal. Maximum pressure on service water should be 3 bar, minimum
pressure to ensure cooling is 1 bar.

1 - 22 (10) Doc. No. TeM-T5845707212

Service Water Vacuum pump
Service water is used at the vacuum pump. Water is going into the water reduction tank (noise and
water reduction system) in mixers motor cabinet. Water flow is automatically adjusted so
temperature in water reduction tank is 40°C when vacuum pump is running.

Service air at Turbo unit

If your mixer is equipped with a dynamic stator, air is used to move stator up and down. The system
works as a normally pneumatic cylinder. If your mixer is bought with control system, this will work
from factory. If you have bought a TP Scanima mixer without control system, it will be delivered
from factory without pneumatic valves for the stator lift. We recommend using either one 5/2way
valve or two 3/2way valves to control the movement of the dynamic stator.
Lowest air connection point on Turbo unit lowers the stator; highest air connection point on the
Turbo unit lifts the stator.

Installation of Steam connection
It is important that the steam supply to the dimple jacket is supplied with dry and clean steam, in
accordance with good steam engineering practice. Also refer to the “General recommendations for
service media”.
It should also be ensured that all connecting pipe work is stress free and adequately supported. The
steam supply should always be maintained at the specified design pressure and temperature for the
unit. The steam jacket must not operate above the maximum steam pressure and temperature
indicated on the mixer name plate. The installation of an appropriately sized safety valve, to protect
any lower pressured equipment on either the primary or secondary side of the jacket, is strongly
recommended. TP Scanima supply a range of traps, strainers, separators, safety valves and pressure
reducing equipment.

Control prior to first
production
Motor
Before bringing the motor in operation for the first time, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
The installation must be checked for any damage and incorrect connections on the motor, wiring
and cables
Safety circuits must be checked for correct operation before switching on the power on the motor
Voltage on motor signs and connection types must be checked for correct connection with the help
of the attached information
The motor and any earth wires need to be correctly connected with the ground before switching on
the power on the motor
Before starting the motor, all high-voltage parts >50 volt must be safely covered and the isolation of
the electrical parts must be checked and approved.
The correct rotation direction must be checked shortly after switching on the power on the motor. If
the rotation direction is incorrect, the motor must be stopped and the wiring must be corrected only
when the mains voltage has been safely disconnected.
When running the motor for the first time the actual motor current FLA for e.g. phase needs to be
measured and must not be higher than 10% of the nominal motor current over a short period of
time. See also the motor sign plate.
The setting and the function of the motor overload system must also be checked.

spray-balls and all design and manufacturing is done under consideration of cleaning of the plant.
Cleaning may be undertaken according to the customer's own wish and choice. As all equipment
getting in contact with the product it is made of stainless steel, it is easy to clean the equipment.

CAUTION
Electric control panel should be cleaned with care and that it must be closed while cleaning. Direct
water splashes and drops may cause destruction of the very sensitive electric components in the
panel.

CAUTION
Please also avoid water spill on the V-belts connected to the turbo unit underneath the plant.

CAUTION
Direct splashing of all electric motors and electrically controlled valves should also be avoided.

CAUTION
Never clean electric equipment with high pressure cleaning equipment. Do not use cleaning agents
on electric equipment.

 General
recommendations for
inside cleaning
The following description is under the assumption that C.I.P. program is implemented in the
operating software, and is meant as a guideline on how a C.I.P. sequence can be programmed.

First rinse
The rough cleaning can be done manually by a brush and pressure water hose. Depending on the
available amount of water it can also be done by opening valve to the CIP spray ball. The CIP
program can now make a rough cleaning. After first rinse the vessel is controlled before entering
alkaline cleaning.

Alkaline cleaning
For alkaline cleaning following is recommended:
Detergent:caustic soda.
Concentration: 1-1,5%.
Temperature: 70-75°C.
Time: 10-20min.
Mixer speed: 20%
Agitator speed: 20%.
For the last 5 minutes the mixer- and agitator speed is set to 100%. If mixer is with dynamic stator,
the stator is lifted up and down in sequence of 30 seconds.
Depending on the control system for the mixer, alkaline cleaning can be done manually, semi
automatic or automatic.
During alkaline cleaning, all valves and routes on flow sheet must be flipped in reasonable
sequence. If vacuum pump is to be cleaned it must be started 2-3 times and run for 30 seconds each
time. If this is done, it is important that vacuum pump also is cleaned with water afterwards.
After cleaning CIP-liquid is disposed to storage tank or drain.

1 - 4 (10) Doc. No. TeM-T5845707212

Second Rinse
Rinse must be performed to get rid of CIP-liquids left in the tank. The CIP-liquid will be on all
surfaces, so this first rinse is done by taking water in over spray-balls and then flushing directly to
drain. If piping is to be rinsed, these are flushed before taking CIP-liquid to drain.

Third Rinse
Water is taken into vessel through spray-balls. The water is circulated in same sequence as the
alkaline cleaning.
After 20 minutes drain to floor. Mixer is now clean.

Acid cleaning
Acid cleaning is done once or twice every week depending on the hardness of the water
and the product made on the mixer. If Acid cleaning is done, this can be done in between
second and third rinse. However, after acid cleaning rinse “Second rinse” must be
performed once again!
Acid cleaning is recommend as:
Detergent: Nitric acid, HNO3
Concentration: 1%.
Temperature: 65°C.
Time: 10min.
Mixer speed: 20%.
Agitator speed: 20%.
For the last 5 minutes the mixer- and agitator speed is set to 100%. If mixer is with
dynamic stator, the stator is lifted up and down in sequence of 30 seconds.
Follow the same procedure as described for the alkaline cleaning except never run the
vacuum pump with acid.

Doc. No. TeM-T5845707212 1 - 5 (10)

 Sterilisation with hydrogen
peroxide
Follow the same procedure as described for the alkaline cleaning.
Detergent: H2O2
Concentration: 0.3%.
Temperature: max 30°C.
Time: 3-5min.
Mixer speed: 20%.
Agitator speed: 20%.
After 3 minutes the temperature can be taken up to 85-95°C. H2O2 will be split into H2O and O2.
Thereby the normal rinse after sterilisation is not necessary. Just drain the tank.

Sterilisation with steam

Use direct steam to reach desired temperature.

Vacuum system
It is recommended to run the vacuum pump a few times during C.I.P (but never with acid). Run the
vacuum pump for 30 seconds two or three times.. During the last rinse with water, after alkaline or
acid cleaning, the vacuum system must be flushed properly with water to avoid corrosion of the
vacuum pump. Let the vacuum pump run at least 30 seconds in order to clean the pump.

vacuum system with shut-off
valves
If vacuum system is build with shut-off valves pos. 36-V3 and 36-V4, the vacuum line can be
cleaned without cleaning the vacuum pump.
Cleaning vessel
Open CIP inlet. Open valve 35-V1 to CIP vessel. Keep valve 36-V3 and 36-V4 closed. Cleaning
vacuum line
Open CIP inlet. Open valve 36-V3 to clean vacuum line. Keep 36-V4 closed
Cleaning of vacuum pump
Open CIP inlet. Open valve 36-V4 to clean vacuum pump pos. 36-M1. Keep 36-V3 closed. If
vacuum pump is made of cast iron, 36-V4 must be closed at all time during CIP with acid.

Outside cleaning
Cleaning of the outside of the mixer is done by normal manual cleaning. By foam cleaning, first
make a rough manual cleaning. Follow the instructions for the specific detergent.

Cleaning funnels
The funnels have to be cleaned manually. The water used for manual cleaning can be sucked into
the mixer and used in the C.I.P. In that way the hoses will be cleaned too.
Cover the operation panel. Do not foam the motor. Rinse everything carefully with water to avoid
corrosion and long term action on plastic parts.

Recommended detergents
Caustic:NaOH, 2% by weight.
Acid:HN03, 1-2% by weight
Detergents must be dosed gradually to avoid excessive local and temporary concentrations.
Getting in contact with any of these cleaning agents may result in injury to operating personnel. In
case of exposal please refer to the safety data sheet delivered by the supplier or to the safety data
sheet.
