Hydrocolloid powder dispersion unit
Achieve seamless dispersion of hydrocolloid powders in liquids, eliminating common issues like lumping and inconsistent texture with an advanced mixing solution that enhances product stability and quality.
Disperses and Blends Hydrocolloids into Solutions
The Mixing Unit CMC from INOXPA is engineered to address the challenges of fast and uniform dispersion of hydrocolloid powders into liquids. Designed with a skid-mounted layout, the system utilizes a rotor-stator mixer and cowles-type agitator to ensure efficient shearing and mixing. It is ideal for creating smooth and stable textures in food products such as cream-based soups and sauces, as well as cosmetics like lotions and shampoos.
This unit handles viscosities up to 5000 cP, with customization available for more viscous solutions, making it versatile for various hydrocolloid applications, including CMC gels and xanthan gum thickeners. Equipped with a heating jacket option for high powder percentages, it aids in viscosity control. Constructed from AISI 316L stainless steel with EPDM gaskets, it is well-suited for hygienic operations, featuring Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems and safety sensors.
Automation is seamlessly integrated with an electrical control panel, and options for further customization include anchor-type agitators and skid-mounted discharge pumps. The mixing unit is designed for energy efficiency, ensuring effective dispersion while maintaining low operational costs.
