Continuous in-line blender for dairy applications
Achieve precise and homogeneous blending of sensitive dairy mixtures directly in your production line, minimizing equipment and maximizing efficiency without the need for additional mixing tanks.
Blends and Standardizes Dairy Products In-Line
The GEA DICON® Continuous In-line Blender is a sophisticated solution for dairy processing, specifically designed to streamline the blending and standardization process directly in the production line. This system excels in applications such as yogurt and fruit mixtures, milkshake bases, and flavored milk production. Utilizing a dynamic mixer and precise metering devices, it ensures homogeneous blending without the need for additional mixing tanks, promoting product consistency.
Capable of handling sensitive ingredients with a gentle touch, the rotary piston pumps work at low flow rates to prevent crushing. These frequency-controlled pumps eliminate the need for modulating valves, reducing maintenance concerns and enhancing operational efficiency. The system is compact, workshop-tested, and features digital controllers that maintain accurate ingredient ratios, even when throughput varies.
Designed with versatility in mind, the GEA DICON®-Y model processes up to 1.000.000 CP and supports fast product availability due to minimal system inclusion. It offers seamless integration into automated production lines, contributing to energy efficiency by optimizing motor usage. Ideal for dairy producers and yogurt manufacturers, this in-line solution meets industry standards and accommodates customization to match specific production needs.
