Mobile mixing system for beverages in breweries

Optimize blending and carbonation processes with a mobile solution that streamlines dosing and mixing, ensuring consistent flavor and quality across your beverage lines.

Mixes, Doses, and Carbonates Beverages Efficiently

The Iso-Mix Mini from Alfa Laval is a versatile rotary jet mixing system engineered for breweries and beverage manufacturers needing efficient ingredient integration. Utilizing patented Rotary Jet Mixer technology, it provides fast and uniform mixing in a single tank, encompassing processes like mixing, dosing, carbonation, and gas addition in a compact, mobile unit. Equipped with two LKH centrifugal pumps, it circulates contents, ensuring precise ingredient dosing and continuous suspension of yeast culture for optimal contact with extract. Applicable for products such as carbonated soft drinks, ales, and ready-to-drink cocktails, it caters to diverse fermentation and blending needs. The Iso-Mix Mini integrates seamlessly into production lines with automation features such as batch dosing control, and supports efficient cleaning through a Rotary Jet Mixer-enabled CIP system, ensuring minimal downtime. Designed for flexibility, it connects via hard piping or flexible hoses and is easily movable to serve multiple tanks as required, offering breweries a cost-effective way to expand capacity while maintaining product consistency.
