E Q U I P M E N T: M I x I N g a N d b l E N d I N g Sanitary and European certified New Ultra Sanitary In-Line mixers perform the widest range of applications – mixing, emulsifying, homogenizing, disintegrating and dissolving – with efficiency, flexibility and sanitary construction. Designed to comply with FDA, 3A and GMP standards, these machines now carry the new EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group) certification, a European stamp of approval. The design offers further versatility with multistage rotor/stator configurations as standard options, resulting in substantially faster mixing times by reducing the number of recirculation passes required and offering greater particle size reduction. 30,000-hour L10 bearing life for costeffective service even under demanding conditions. A tapered shaft engagement system ensures easy disassembly, yet provides a secure, true-running connection between the shaft and drive. Designed for agitator service, the gear drive is supplied with a high quality, synthetic oil for optimum operating efficiency.

It is capable of processing milling batches 20-55 gal. in a single drum. Useful for low viscosity batches up to 20,000 cps, it has no floor anchors and is movable with a forklift or pallet jack. Premier Mill/SPx Corp.; Reading, Pa. 484-331-7639; www.spxprocessequipment. com The steam-driven PDX sonic processing system can mix, pump, heat, cook and homogenize simultaneously, providing up to 50 percent energy improvement and low maintenance. This novel technology enables processing that is up to 15 times faster, burn-on is eliminated, clean-up is up to 80 percent quicker and payback can come within 12 months.

They are sized for 5-20plus TPH and can handle powdered, granular or pelletized abrasive materials that are fryable. Equipped with automated controls and load cells, these machines blend products from multiple sources and convey them to one or more destinations using a single 15-psig positive-displacement blower. Proprietary semi-dense design results in low line velocities and high material-to-air ratios that reduce wear and product degradation. Cyclonaire Corp.; York, Neb. 800-445-0730; www.cyclonaire.com Under a micron The Boston Shearmill provides high shear rates and tip speeds for maximum droplet and particle size reduction. If the process requires milling of soft particles to under 1 micron or hard particles down to 1-2 microns, the unit meets this criteria, often with a single pass. Shearmill models are available from 15-125 hp, providing throughput from 5-250 gals. depending upon feed rate and viscosity. All models feature a single mechanical quench seal, rated for 700 psi, and they comply with 3-A standards. Replaces multiple mixers A long and rugged life admix Inc.; Manchester, N.H. 800-466-2369; www.admix.com QED Plus mixers can handle blending, solids suspension and high viscosity applications. They include an exclusive leakproof drywell design and a minimum 58 • FOOD PROCESSING JaNuaRy 2008 Unloads, blends and conveys Stationary and portable CB Series Blender conveyors combine bulk carrier unloading, transfer and blending Capable of emulsification, dispersion and particle size reduction down to 1 micron in one pass, the Z-Series In-Line Mixer provides total product development flexibility. This mixer features a mixing head consisting of stators and high-speed rotors that can be arranged in any combination to create from one to 12 shear action zones. With product passage through each shear action zone capable of achieving mixing results equal to one pass through an entire conventional mixer, this multi-shear mixing head can eliminate the need for recirculation and multiple mixers. bematek Systems; Salem, Mass. 877-236-2835; www.bematek.com WWW.FOODPROCESSING.COM http://www.chemineer.com http://www.silverson.com http://www.cyclonaire.com http://www.pursuitdynamics.com http://www.spxprocessequipment.com http://www.spxprocessequipment.com http://www.admix.com http://www.bematek.com http://www.foodprocessing.com
