Ice cream homogenization Equipment

Homogenization is the process of reducing particle size in mixtures to improve the consistency, uniformity, and stability of the product. The choice of a homogenizer depends on the nature of the product, desired particle size, the physical state of the ingredients, and pressure requirements during the process. Homogenization is widely used in the biotech industry for cell lysis and in the pharmaceutical industry for the emulsification of creams and ointments; it also finds applications in the cosmetics and food industries for improving the consistency and uniformity of various products.

Homogenization

Making ice cream is all about mixing and homogenizing. First you need to blend, pasteurize and standardize your mixture. Then store it in tanks and freeze and aerate the mix until it reached the right consistency. Now you can add fruits, cookies and other solids if you like. In the final step the mix goes through an air blast hardening machine and it's ready to store and ship.

Chocolate bars are popular snacks and gifts for many occasions and events, dating back to the Mayans and the Aztecs. They may also include other ingredients such as caramel, fruits, or nuts. Considering making chocolate bars? Make sure, though, that your chocolate bar making equipment can cover various processes such as grinding and melting, tempering, refining, and cooling.

Chocolate bars

The cereal bar production line consists of mixing, cutting and cooling a dough of chosen ingredients. These can be seeds, nuts, chocolate chips, dried fruits - and many more options. It may seem simple, but it needs attention to provide an appetizing look and taste.

Cereal bars

You make granola bars from caramelized nuts, grains, and cereals, baking and shaping them into crunchy snacks. Granola bar production involves mixing, forming, baking, and cutting into bars. The quality of granola bars is affected by baking. How the sugar caramelizes and blends with the other ingredients determines the final taste and texture of your granola bar.

Granola bars

In NASA's early years, a research program was established on how to provide food for astronauts while in space. In fact, in the 1960s, nutrition bars were launched with a label called "Space Food Sticks" because they were designed to allow astronauts to eat them easily while wearing their helmets. Protein bar manufacturing equipment is used to mix ingredients, extrude the mixture at a set temperature, cool the product before cutting it to size, coating it, and allowing it to cool to prepare it for packaging.

Protein bars

Mpac Group is an industry leader in packaging automation, cartoning, and case-packing technologies.

Do you know how many different bars are on the market? From protein bars to cereal bars to chocolate bars, the options are endless. And if you want to beat the heat on a hot summer day, don’t worry; ice cream bars will come your way.

What all these bars have in common is that they often come in multi-packs sold in supermarkets or other shops. With all the different flavors and textures available, we asked Luc Smeet and Frank van Bentum from Mpac Group, if it matters what type of bar you put into the carton.

“<em>I see no differences. A bar is a bar for us,</em>” says Frank. Okay, we didn’t see this coming.


<h2>So what does matter when packing your bars into multipacks?</h2>
<em>“Finding the best solution based on a certain speed matters. So you’ll have high speed and low count and low speed and high count,” </em>says Frank.

That's because bars are sold in 4- or 6-packs, which are intended for supermarkets as well as in 24-pack display cases, for example, for gas stations.

Luc adds: “<em>When you have a brittle bar, you’ll need to reduce the speed a bit, but in general, the way we handle them is the same.</em>”

Bar orientation is important to figure out whether to use a pick-and-place system with suction cups or mechanical grippers. “<em>When the product is not flat or is packed on edge, the size of the product is not wide enough for the suction cups to hold the bars</em>,” Frank comments.

As for the box, the rotary feeder opens the carton a little at a time, in 3 or 6 steps, to avoid any damage. “<em>Doing it in steps makes the opening process more reliable than a single, strong movement</em>,” points out Luc.
<h2>Oops, it turns out there is a difference after all if you are making ice cream bars</h2>
Frozen food producers require a wash-down or hose-down system in their cartoning line to comply with the hygiene and cleaning requirements.

Bars containing dairy products are more susceptible to bacterial growth, and you need to clean the machine with steam and chemicals using a wash-down version. If your ice cream is dairy-free, a hose-down version that uses only warm water to clean spills and debris is enough.

You should also carton the ice cream bars quickly to prevent them from thawing.

“<em>Bars are kept at -18 °C,  and no one wants to work in such extreme temperatures. That’s why we have only 10 minutes to take them out and pack the bars without damaging them,</em>” concludes Frank.

Bottom line, no matter what type of bar you are making, do not hesitate to ask Luc and Frank for assistance in selecting the right solution to pack them in a box.

Experts in a box – What type of snack bar are you packing?

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.

Chocolate

<span style="font-weight: 400">Cocoa production and the cocoa industry uses industrial processing technology to process and manufacture high quality cocoa products in many different forms. Did you know that cacao cultivation goes back centuries - to be specific, about 5300 years? </span><span style="font-weight: 400">This plant, with its long history, is also known for its versatile usage. From </span><span style="font-weight: 400">cocoa nips to cocoa butter, cocoa becomes a base to produce multiple products, ranging from food products to cosmetics. As you may already know, chocolate products are all made from cocoa as well. Hence, depending on what you intend to produce as the end product, as well as your recipe, your cocoa processing equipment line may change.</span>

A snack is a small portion of food ready to eat and simple and fast to prepare. People usually consume snacks during the day between traditional meals such as breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Snack foods include simple products such as nuts, dried fruits, peanuts as well as packaged and processed foods. Puffed corn products made by extrusion or flavored potato chips are examples of processed foods.

During the Middle Ages, sugar sweets were a delicacy only for the rich due to the high cost of sugar. Thankfully, the discovery that sugar could be extracted from sugar beets made sweets affordable for everyone. The sweet category is broad, covering chocolates, chewing gums, sugar candies, and candied/glazed products with sugar. To make these confections, sugar manufacturing equipment needs to cover different steps within the production line such as sugar dissolution, syrup cooking and cooling.
