Emulsions emulsifying Equipment

An emulsifier is used to mix two immiscible liquids. Heating or cooling requirements during emulsification, overpressure or vacuum requirements, the need for wall scrapers, design of the mixing head, the viscosity of the liquids, and the desired droplet size are all important considerations when selecting an emulsifying system. Emulsifiers are typically used in the food industry for the production of batters, creams, and sauces, in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry for the production of creams and lotions, and in the chemical industry for the production of paint and other emulsions.

Emulsifying

You can make emulsions by combining two immiscible liquids (oil and water, for example) in a suspension through the use of force. The use of emulsifiers is necessary to keep this mixture stable and permanent.

Emulsions

When your process requires high performance mixing or dispersion but conventional stirring methods cannot be employed due to access or other restrictions, you need a machine designed for bottom entry into a vessel.
<h2>Bottom entry mixing in a simple and compact package</h2>
IKA's Ultra-Turrax UTE is a high performance dispersing machine designd for bottom entry into vessels.  It mixes, emulsifies, and disperses free-flowing or liquid media with a viscosity of up to 5.000 mPas in batch operation.  The units use the rotor-stator principal and a wide variety of generators is available to tailor the process to your needs.  No strong vortices or product aeration occurs as a result of the mixing action even when the vessel is filled to a very low level or is emptied during the stirring operation.

The units are compact and simple, primarily consisting of a motor, a a rotor drive shaft, a dispersion tool (generator) and a mounting flange conbined by a lantern housing.  The shaft seal is of an easily maintained mechanical type with several variants depending on the particular application.  Options for speed control, special materials, and special surface finishes also exist.  The units are available with batch capacities from 70 to 4.000 liters.

Batch dispersing machine for bottom entry into vessels

Manufacturers of cosmetic products need mixing equipment that is capable, flexible, easy to maintain, and low-cost to stay competitive.  Accurate mixing from a reliable, user-friendly machine will give plant managers peace of mind and worry-free operation to focus on improving other areas of their process.
<h2>Consistent mix quality from an easy-to-use, low-cost system</h2>
IKA's SPP Standard Production Plant is a simple yet very capable system for all standard mixing processes, such as homogenizing, emulsifying, stirring, and dispersing ingredients.  The emulsifying system includes a robust anchor agitator with a fixed flow breaker which moves the entire batch volume even for mixes of high viscosities.  A highly advanced scraper design keeps the vessel walls free from scaling, and unique vessel geometry allows the processing of small batches down to 30% of the rated working volume.

The system includes interchangeable dispersing tools and adjustable speed control, dispersing quality and options for a heated or cooled double-walled vessel, and vacuum degassing of the working chamber, among others.  The unit is easy to clean using a CIP system, and maintenance and inspection is simplified by concentrating major components in easily accessible areas.  This design also helps keep the required floor space of the units as low as possible. The SPP is available in working capacities from 25 to 4.000 liters.

Cost-effective homogenizing and emulsifying system

Innovators in process development need laboratory equipment that helps their ideas be reliably scaled up to production.  For dispersion equipment, this requires important process parameters like circumferential speed, tool, and mixing chamber geometry to be structurally identical to production level equipment.
<h2>A highly adaptable dispersion machine for the lab, designed for reliable scale-up</h2>
IKA's Labor-Pilot is a versatile, compact, and highly reliable inline laboratory dispersing machine.  It is designed for solid-liquid mixing, homogenizing, emulsifying, suspending, and wet milling.  It is designed specifically to match process characteristics of larger dispersion machines so developed processes can be reliably scaled up.  The units can work at elevated temperatures, pressure/vacuum conditions, and with abrasive substrates.  Changeout between the several different working modules is quick and easy with each module giving the machine the particular characteristics needed to perform particular tasks and work with a particular type of product.  Compared to stirrers, mixing time for a wide variety of dispersions from coarse to fine can be reduced by up to 50%.

Pilot dispersing machine for testing and scale-up

Innovators in a wide variety of industries need laboratory equipment on which processes and products can be developed and reliably scaled up to production.  For dispersion equipment, this requires important process parameters like circumferential speed, tool, and mixing chamber geometry to be structurally identical to production level equipment.
<h2>A highly adaptable dispersion machine for the lab, designed for reliable scale-up</h2>

In-line laboratory dispersing machine

Processes including homogenization, dispersing, suspension, emulsification and dissolving benefit with the addition of a dispersing rotor/stator system to the functionality of traditional overhead stirring equipment.  With traditional equipment, achieving desired results in high viscosity media is often difficult and slow and issues such as sediment formation and air inclusions are common.  Adding a high speed rotor and jet pipe in close proximity to the mixing vane greatly enhances the process and helps avoid many of these issues.
<h2>Fast and efficient agitation of highly viscous fluids</h2>
IKA's Rototron RTS is a line of agitators that uses jet-flow technology to speed mixing processes while avoiding many of the issues seen when more traditional equipment is used.  The jet flow agitators use a high speed rotor and jet pipe in close proximity to the mixing vanes to disperse and circulate products within a vessel while avoiding inefficiency caused by back flow, air inclusions caused by a static whirlpool effect, and the need for flow breakers caused by continuously rotating mixtures.  The circulation mechanism also avoids the common issue of sediment formation when being used to produce emulsions.  The units can be used with open and pressurized vessels and mounting options exist to accommodate a wide variety of vessels and configurations.  With this equipment, no seal material makes contact with the product and food or pharmaceutical grade versions are readily available.  Motor sizes are available from 2,2 to 15 kW with max batch sizes from 1.000 to 20.000 liters.

Jet flow agitator for high-viscosity media

Lab-scale mixers are vital in the design or small-batch production of a range of pharmaceutical products. Traditional high shear mixers on this scale are single-purpose units. A modern, multi-function machine allows the processing of a much wider range of substances, offering better value than single-purpose alternatives.
<h2>Flexible lab-scale mixer for mixing or emulsifying powders or liquids</h2>
The DS 3 Mixer from Multigel is a compact, yet powerful, lab-scale high-shear mixer designed specifically for use in design and manufacture of pharmaceuticals.

Supplied with 4 different heads, the DS 3 can be used with powders or liquids such as emulsions used as cosmetic or pharmaceutical carriers, and dispersing powders such as carbomers or alginates.

The powerful yet economical 600W motor enables the DS 3 to reach very high speeds, adjustable up to 12,500 rpm. This power allows it to process up to 10 litres of product at a time, increasing efficiency.

All product-contacting parts have been designed and constructed for fully hygienic operation, and are made from stainless steel and FDA-approved materials.

Weighing only 18kg, and with a form factor of only 280mm x 430mm, the DS 3 can be installed anywhere and is easy to move, requiring only a single-phase electricity supply.

For all the bad rep that it gets, palm oil still makes up around 40% of the global vegetable oil supply, according to <a href="https://www.wwf.org.uk/updates/8-things-know-about-palm-oil" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-attribute-index="0" data-entity-hovercard-id="urn:li:fs_miniCompany:805644" data-entity-type="MINI_COMPANY">WWF</a> estimates.

Alternative oils pose fewer risks to biodiversity and carbon release, but producing them is not as efficient. This puts the food manufacturing industry in a sticky situation.

But one company picked up this challenge. Its ultimate mission is clear from the name: <a href="https://www.nopalm-ingredients.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-attribute-index="2" data-entity-hovercard-id="urn:li:fs_miniCompany:73236339" data-entity-type="MINI_COMPANY">NoPalm Ingredients</a>.



Using a special yeast, the team developed a process to convert sugars and organic acids in virtually any kind of biomass into microbial oil.

<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAACUhMNEBMChbVERGkwwFhucNTiIbouuX9lg" data-attribute-index="6" data-entity-hovercard-id="urn:li:fs_miniProfile:ACoAACUhMNEBMChbVERGkwwFhucNTiIbouuX9lg" data-entity-type="MINI_PROFILE">Jochem de Vries</a> showed us a range of samples made from fermented grains.

The new, food-grade ingredient is ready to replace palm oil (or any other tropical oil).

NoPalm Ingredients typically works with sidestreams like potato peels or discarded vegetables, circulating the same waste material that producers generate.

Thanks to Jochem and the rest of the team, that 40% share of the vegetable oil supply will quickly evaporate. And tropical forests can flourish

#Changemaker: Stop facepalming at palm oil, start using fermented alternatives
