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.
