Tetra Pak® ACHX10-0400-44

Used Tetra Pak helix accumulator 44 meters year 2018 Model: ACHX10-0400-44 | Manufacturer: Tetra Pak® | Year: 2018 | Machine type: Accumulator | Accumulation length: 44 m helix | Container types: Brik | Condition: in storage. This helical accumulator provides buffered storage on aseptic carton lines, stabilizing Brik container flow between upstream and downstream units to sustain continuous operation. Category: Various Equipment Primary function: temporary storage and flow compensation Line scope: aseptic packaging for brick-type carton containers Technical and Functional Features The ACHX10-0400-44 builds buffer capacity over a 44-meter helical path to absorb short-term imbalances between machines. By damping surges and shortages, it reduces stoppages, maintains a stable container stream, and protects the structural integrity of Brik cartons during pauses, ramp-ups, or restarts. The helix increases storage density versus linear systems, delivering high capacity in a compact footprint while supporting controlled dwell time and consistent discharge without packaging deformation. Designed by Tetra Pak®, the accumulator enables smooth conveyance with regulated infeed and outfeed. Its control logic stabilizes orientation, meters transfer rates across the spiral, and limits uncontrolled backpressure on adjacent equipment, preventing bottlenecks and safeguarding line balance. Materials and Compatibility Construction uses corrosion-resistant materials suited to food environments and routine sanitization. Conveying surfaces minimize friction and abrasion on Brik cartons for gentle handling through the helix. Access points support regular cleaning and inspection in alignment with aseptic line requirements. Integration with the Production Line The unit integrates with existing Tetra Pak® filling and sealing systems. Electronic coordination synchronizes with upstream and downstream equipment to modulate accumulation and release based on live conditions, reducing congestion and micro-stops while preserving pacing. As part of Tetra Pak bottling equipment ecosystems, it follows standard interfaces and control philosophies to streamline commissioning and daily operation. The accumulator can also synchronize with a Tetra Pak bottling machine or carton filler/sealer to maintain balanced throughput during changeovers or intermittent slowdowns. Operational Advantages Use of the helix buffer limits downtime from machine-to-machine speed variation and supports stable OEE. The space-saving configuration eases installation in constrained layouts while providing substantial temporary storage. Modular subassemblies facilitate setup and routine service, and Tetra Pak® build quality supports reliability in continuous-duty environments within lines built around Tetra Pak bottling equipment. Conclusion of this Tetra Pak Accumulator This 2018 helical accumulator offers precise flow control and significant temporary storage for aseptic Brik cartons. With its 44 m accumulation path and direct compatibility with Tetra Pak® systems, model ACHX10-0400-44 strengthens line balance, reduces stoppages, and ensures gentle handling—an efficient buffer component within modern Tetra Pak bottling machinery layouts.
