Pilot plants for small-scale viscous product processing
When developing new formulations or scaling up the production of viscous products like creams, sauces, or ice creams, it’s essential to simulate industrial processes accurately on a smaller scale. This avoids costly errors in large-scale production runs.
Simulate industrial processes at laboratory scale
The Pilot Plants by Soren Srl are designed to accurately replicate industrial processes such as preparation, cooking, pasteurization, UHT, and cooling of viscous materials on a smaller scale. These units support feed rates from 15 to 100 kg/h, making them ideal for testing new products while minimizing material waste. The plants handle a wide array of products including filling creams, margarine, ice cream mixes, jams, syrups, sauces, and more. They feature a preparation and mixing tank with a capacity of 100 liters, fabricated from AISI 316 stainless steel. Key advantages include an anchor agitator for efficient mixing and an emulsifier for smooth texture. The thermal treatment section uses scraped surface heat exchangers (SSHEs) to manage pasteurization/sterilization and cooling processes effectively. Optional additions, such as a freezer unit or homogenizer, further enhance the plant’s capabilities, providing flexibility for specific processing needs. Soren Srl provides a versatile, high-performance solution designed with user-friendly automation and cleaning systems to streamline operations while ensuring reliable results.
