Tetra Pak® Bactofuge units are traditionally incorporated in the pre-treatment of cheese milk, where typically butter acid spores (Anaerobic spores) are removed. Bactofuge units are also used to enhance the quality of powders, consumption milk and cream where typically aerobic spores (e.g. Bacillus Cerus) are removed.
The efficiency of the unit is stated as a percentage reduction of the incoming level of bacteria and spores. Generally, the efficiency can go up to 99 %. For installations with high demand on efficiency, two or more units can be installed in series.
