Lab-scale fermenter for simultaneous batch processing

Optimize your lab-scale fermentation process with a versatile solution, enabling simultaneous batch production, precise control of temperature and pH, and seamless integration into R&D workflows.

Simultaneously Ferments, Mixes, and Pasteurizes Multiple Batches

The MPV206-FE Water Bath Fermenter from OMVE is designed for lab-scale batch processing, offering precise fermentation, mixing, and pasteurization capabilities for food, beverage, and dairy industries. This fermenter stands out with its ability to handle multiple product batches simultaneously, making it essential for R&D facilities and pilot plant operations. The system accommodates 6L or 10L configurations with options for up to six buckets, allowing for diverse formula experimentation.

The fermenter operates with low-speed mixers and programmable temperature and pH monitoring via a human-machine interface (HMI), providing full control over the fermentation process. Its versatility extends to a range of end products, including yogurt, probiotic drinks, plant-based milk alternatives, and kombucha. In terms of automation, the MPV206-FE ensures process efficiency with automated cooling and stirring sequences.

Energy efficiency is enhanced by the fermenter’s intelligent temperature control, which optimizes resource use during operation. Constructed with durable materials, it offers reliable performance and easy maintenance. The fermenter’s compliance with industry standards, as well as its customizable options such as additional mixer configurations, make it a valuable asset for companies aiming to innovate and maintain high production standards.
