Hummus mixing Equipment

Industrial mixing equipment is used to combine two or more solid, liquid or gaseous segregated ingredients into a homogenous single product. The choice of mixing technology depends largely on the physical state of the ingredients and the desired final product. But the sensitivity of the ingredients, the process temperature, and pressure requirements are also critical factors. All these parameters result in a wide range of industrial mixers.

Mixing

Hummus processing begins by blending chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice and olive oil to create the simple yet versatile dip loved by so many around the world. To prove their love for hummus, the Lebanese, in 2010, made the largest plate of hummus that weighed over 10 tonnes! To produce hummus industrially, you need a hummus production line that includes processing equipment such as cookers, industrial grinders, pasteurizers and packaging equipment.

Effective mixing of highly viscous products with extremely high solids content can be difficult and the results from traditional extrusion type equipment are often unsatisfactory.  Much more thorough and intense mixing can be achieved and higher solid contents attained with kneading technology.
<h2>Continuous highly controlled kneading from a flexible machine</h2>
IKA's Conterna machine is a multi-chambered continuous kneader which technology is patent protected all over the world. The standard continuous kneader consists of 6 chambers arranged together in a horizontal block.  Each chamber contains two kneading elements which are driven by a variable frequency AC motor.  There is one independently controlled motor for each chamber.  Liquid and solid ingredients are introduced into each chamber according to the process needs and the mix is advanced from chamber to chamber via the kneading action of the impellers.  By adjusting the motor speed and the discharge rate , users can control the resident time of the product in the machine to achieve the desired results.  The continuous kneading action ensures that evenly mixed products are produced and products with extremely high solids content can be processed. Units are available with approximate throughput rates of 80 to 4.000 kg/hour.

When producing fruit-based products such as marmalades or ice cream toppings, the process of cooking fruits needs special attention, as it can directly affect the organoleptic features of the final product. If the fruits are cooked for a long time at a high temperature, they may lose its flavor and discolor. Cooking under vacuum and below 80 °C helps preserve the flavor, color, but also vitamin content of the fruits in the most natural way possible.


<h2>Vacuum cooking fruits at low temperatures while keeping their natural taste</h2>
The Concentration Boule, from Ghizzoni, is a vacuum cooking system designed specifically for the preparation of fruit or vegetable-based products. It has a vertical cylindrical boule equipped with a scraper that prevents products from sticking to the vessel sides or burning. The vacuum cooker also features a double bottom wall for the indirect steam heating of fruits and vegetables. The vacuum technique reduces water content in the product through evaporation at low temperatures. This makes it possible to cook jams and concentrates evenly while preserving the natural taste of the product and requires less time compared to traditional cooking methods. The system has a safety feature that stops the stirring automatically when the lid is opened while cooking. This unit operates as a batch system with a capacity range from 20 kg to 7000 kg.

When processing alternative proteins or making products such as smoothies and sauces that require multiple production steps such as cutting and dispersing, having a single system that can combine the different processes in one, makes production more practical and efficient, saving costs and time.


<h2>Fine cutting and emulsifying of food products in one solution</h2>
The Stephan Microcut from ProXES is a multifunctional food processing system for fine cutting and homogeneous emulsifying. It can provide stable emulsions and disperse solids in liquids. The unit has a pre-cutter that can reduce product sizes of 100mm down to 1-2mm. It can be installed with a single or double cutting system consisting of cutting head(s) as the rotor, cutting ring(s) as the stator, and a feeding disc. The cutting rings are equipped with knives of specific gap sizes from 0.05 to 3mm, and the feeding discs are available in different designs. Product applications include meat emulsions, marinades, sauces, vegetable, and fruit grinding, and nut grinding. The system has a unique layout for cutting vegetables, fruits, frozen products, and rework of bakery products.

Multifunctional cutting and dispersing machine

Texture and consistency are critical to foods with delicate compositions like dressings and fruit juices. But the base ingredients do not always mix into a homogenous recipe, especially in the case of emulsions such as mayonnaise.


<h3>Disperse the components uniformly into the mix</h3>
The Standard Production Plant (SPP) from IKA is a high-shear mixer for fine foods and beverages, including ketchup, plant-based cheese, and hummus. The system incorporates a two-stage unit that blends the ingredients and, secondly, disperses them homogeneously across the medium.

A rotor-stator solution achieves dispersion with a narrow particle size distribution, ensuring stable emulsions and suspensions with the longest possible shelf-life. Meanwhile, the dispersing chamber produces a vacuum to maintain a constant flow rate regardless of viscosity level.

The SPP is available in batch volumes from 25 to 4,000 liters and is equipped with spray nozzles for quick and easy clean-in-place without additional pumps.

Homogenization and emulsifying system for fine foods

In industrial food processing, achieving a consistent texture and uniform blend is crucial when dealing with high-viscosity products like hummus, sauces, and vegetable creams. Traditional methods often fall short in efficiently handling and homogenizing such products.
<h2>Efficient grinding and mixing</h2>
The shear pump from Aurum Process Technology is a versatile tool that functions as both a centrifugal pump and a high-performance grinder. Featuring a high-speed rotor within a stator, it allows the product to flow efficiently while ensuring a homogeneous mix. The pump is easily disassemblable for maintenance, making it practical for regular cleaning and upkeep. It is particularly effective for viscous products in the food industry, providing a hygienic design compatible with Clean-In-Place (CIP) procedures. The pump can handle high temperatures and pressures, enabling continuous operation without incorporating air or lumps into the mixture. Ideal for processes that require homogenization, emulsification, disintegration, de-agglomeration, and dissolution, it stands out for its efficiency and practicality. Additional peripherals can be installed depending on the process requirements, and it is known for its competitive pricing and low maintenance costs.

Industrial shear pump for high-viscosity food applications

In applications where medium to high-viscosity fluids or particle-containing fluids need efficient and homogeneous heat treatment, conventional heat exchangers often face challenges such as fouling and uneven heating.
<h2>Reduces fouling and pressure losses</h2>
The scraped-surface rotative heat exchanger (RM series) from Aurum is designed to optimize heating processes in industrial applications. It consists of a tube bundle welded to a heating jacket, with a rotating bar equipped with scrapping elements inside the inner tubes. This design ensures that the inner surface of the tube remains free of fouling by continuously scraping it, while simultaneously stirring and mixing the product to create turbulence, which enhances efficiency. The system includes bellows or an expansion joint to balance differential expansion between the inner tube bundle and the heating jacket, thus increasing the lifespan of the heat exchanger. Suitable for both food and industrial applications, it is recommended for products like hummus, industrial fruit and vegetable processing, sauces, and infant food. Special applications include evaporation, crystallization, and aseptic processes, with notable advantages such as reduced processing times and improved end-product quality. The exchanger ensures homogeneous heat treatment, very low fouling levels, and reduced pressure losses, thereby decreasing the space needed and increasing production cycles.

The kitchen toaster may be the first appliance that a jam jar brings to mind. But turning fruit into the classic spreadable involves an entire line of jam processing equipment. The meticulous preparation for high-capacity jam manufacturing puts paid to the old idiom 'money for jam'.

Legend has it that the word ‘marmalade’ is a derivate of “Marie est Malade”. Supposedly, the acidic-sweet mixture was offered to Marie Antoinette when the Queen of France fell malade. Whatever the true origins of the name, marmalade processing equipment has quickly made the golden spread a pick-me-up for the masses.

Can you think of anything better than a slice of bread with some spreadable cheese for a snack? Production of cheese spread is similar to other types of processed cheese, but it contains more moisture to be soft and spreadable. Cheese spread starts with one or more types of cheese along with other ingredients and food additives such as stabilizers and emulsifiers. After mixing and vacuum cooking these ingredients, you can pour them into molds for cooling before packaging.

<h2>How our food production technology works</h2>
Ingredients are dosed in a rotating barrel. The dosing hopper can be customized with different sizes, making it possible to add big or small ingredients. The rotation generates an extensive mixture and ensures the homogeneity of all materials. Afterward, they are sent through an extrusion die that transforms them into an extended product. Once they’re through, hot air is introduced from above and below and forms each piece into long pieces called strands.
<h3>Why we needed this solution</h3>
Forming, extrusion, and vacuum filling are all processes that require a lot of space and workforce. These processes can also make it difficult for companies to standardize recipes. We created our food processing machine in response to these challenges. Now, one machine can effectively replace three separate devices—and it can be done in one step!
<h3>The benefits</h3>
Our food technology machine is a complete, compact, and patented transformation system integrating different machines into a single process. It’s an all-in-one system that lets you introduce all of the ingredients in one step. This means ingredients are introduced into a holding chamber, so it’s possible to do everything you need on-site: extrusion, dosing, vacuum filling.
<h3>How does it work?</h3>
Through a patent-pending technique, our system is an all-in-one transformation machine. Each of its stages uses individual machines that transform ingredients into specific products. Some examples are water treatment, separation/straining, homogenization/emulsification, pasteurization, and food sterilization. In the case of; beverages, we can speak of fermentation, distillation for alcohols, and decanting for oils and juices.
<h2>Benefits for businesses using our cutting edge equipment</h2>
Our machine doesn’t just transform food—it can also make it easier for your business. Vacuum filling allows you to produce single-serve products faster and with less space, while a dosing system is great for making healthy and delicious foods more accessible. The entire system comes at an affordable price, making it easy for you to create even more new products. And that means a lot: After all, new products lead to higher profits, more opportunities for innovation and disruption, better pricing positions, and lower costs of goods sold (COGS). Combining all these benefits into one comprehensive system is no small achievement—it’s why so many experts call our technological innovation a game-changer. Are you ready?

New food production technology to revolutionize the way we process food

You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy chocolate; that’s basically the same thing. We were not surprised to discover that chocolate - to be specific, cocoa beans – was so valuable that it was used as a currency in Mayan times. When making chocolate, cocoa beans need to be dried, fermented, and roasted before using chocolate making equipment to turn them into your favorite chocolate product.
