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

The rapeseed flower evolved high concentrations of substances that are anti-nutritive at best and toxic at worst. But new varieties developed in the 1970s lowered the content of glucosinolates and erucic acids. From then, the use of oilseed rape spread to several applications, from edible oil to biofuel to animal feed. Rapeseed oil processing technology has thus become foundational to industries spanning food production, energy, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Certain mixing tasks present unique challenges and manufacturers need equipment that is specifically designed to handle them.  When a single pass process is needed, high solid concentrations are involved, the ingredients quickly react with one-another, the product is sensitive to air inclusions, or the solid is granular and needs to be mechanically crushed as well as mixed, the right equipment is needed to get the job done.
<h2>A single pass mixer, disperser, and homogenizer for difficult mixing tasks</h2>
IKA's MHD-2000 system is a continuous homogenizing system designed for the high quality dispersions of solids in liquids.  The system includes two horizontal liquid connections and one vertical connection for solids.  the liquids and solid components of the mixture are brought together in a controlled fashion in a pre-mixing chamber in which the liquid is evenly distributed by entering through several different apertures.  Immediately after mixing, the liquid and solid components are dispersed through a rotor/stator system with high shearing action creating a high quality, output product that is free of agglomerations.

Use of this system greatly reduces production times due to its continuous operation.  Its design allows it to process highly viscous liquid ingredients, mixtures with solid contents up to 80%, and even solids that are granular and must be mechanically crushed during the mixing process.  Units are available with throughput volumes from 60 and 40.000 liters per hour.

Manufacturers need production mixing equipment that is capable, flexible, and easy to maintain. Accurate mixing form a reliable, user friendly machine will give plant managers the peace of mind and worry free operation they need to focus on improving other areas of their process. A high quality piece of equipment allows for low maintenance, easy cleaning, enables the direct feed of solids and liquids, mixing and dispersing of the vessel contents, heating or cooling of the product, and processing under vacuum or under pressure.
<h2> A universal mixing system with precise, reproducible results and safe operation</h2>
The Master Plant homogenizing and emulsifying system from IKA was designed specifically to meet the production mixing needs of the pharmaceuticals industry but has also proven useful in the production of food, beverages, cosmetics, and chemicals.  Several mixing heads are interchangeable depending on the process and desired results.  Each mixing head can be heated or cooled to control product temperature simultaneous to the mixing process. Flexible PTFE scrapers move with the mixing head and keep product from adhering to the vessel walls.  Products of up to 100.000 mPas viscosity can be processed.  The GMP homogenizing systems  can be fully discharged without the need for additional pumping and are available in capacities from 10 to 4.000 liters.

When producing liquid and viscous products such as mayonnaise, sauces, dressings and ketchup it’s vital to achieve thorough emulsification and homogenization to ensure product quality. Traditional homogenizing solutions can be slow and difficult to clean, increasing downtime between batches. A modern vacuum-based system offers the flexibility to produce a wide range of products quickly, with exceptional quality and short cycle time.


<h2>Vacuum processing plant for emulsions, suspensions and gels</h2>
The MultiVacH from Enoop is a state-of-the-art processing plant for the production of high-quality sauces, mayonnaise, <a href="https://making.com/ketchup/">ketchup</a> and other liquid and viscous products.

Designed to be completely flexible, MultiVacH can be used whenever liquids or powders need to be thoroughly mixed and offers both cooling and heating to suit all production methods.

Ingredients are circulated via vacuum pump to a high-shear mixing element, then recirculated. This allows for extremely fast processing, as the circulation of product provides additional macro-mixing.

Downtime associated with batch or product changes is reduced to an absolute minimum thanks to fully pumped emptying via the recirculation line. In addition, rotating clean-in-place nozzles speeds up cleaning, allowing the MultiVacH to be used in multi-recipe environments.

Heating and cooling are via a double-jacket system, with direct steam injection available for high-temperature recipes.

Control is via a Siemens PLC with 12” touchscreen display, allowing observation and control of all parameters. Production can be manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic to your requirements.

The quality of field crops (ROW crops) is determined by their seeds. The breeding and foundational phases are critical for viable lots, but accuracy comes at the expense of time efficiency. The multi-stage process raises the risks of contamination and leads to seed wastage.


<h3>Increase yield and accuracy with an automatic end-to-end line</h3>
Seed Processing Holland developed specialized Automated Processing Lines (APL) for field crops (ROW crops) that maintain quality and turnout. The closed system takes the seeds from threshing/shelling through cleaning and treating.

Designed for specific crops, the technology handles most crops, including sugar beet, corn (maize), and oil rape seed. The hardware is built to accommodate the particular dimensions and structure of lots, ensuring their proper treatment throughout the line.

Besides the integrated machines, the APL is powered by SPH Connect®, simplifying complex processes into pre-programmed recipes. Thanks to combined equipment and process data, growers and seed producers can set their quality parameters and adhere to them lot after lot.

The automatic internal cleaning feature provides a contamination-free CIP solution. Moreover, the units are purposefully designed to facilitate flow and prevent seed contamination by avoiding seed mixing between lots.

Seed coating, also known as seed dressing, refers to the covering of seeds with external fluids, biologicals, chemicals, dry powder and solutions to protect the seeds, enhance germination and improve immunity. A common challenge for this process is that these materials may spill. Thus, in order to optimize the treatment process, it is essential to use equipment such as a seed coating machine that will reduce the workers' exposure.


<h2>Boost Productivity With an Automated Seed Coating Machine</h2>
Designed by Seed Processing Holland , the RDC’s (800 – 500 and 300) are advanced high speed seed film coaters with an integrated dryer. It simultaneously coats and dries agricultural and vegetable seeds, applying a higher percentage of liquid to allow direct packaging of the seeds once the process is completed. Furthermore, this seed coating machine uses a high-grade film coating formula and pays special attention to the drying speed, film formation and coverage. To ensure an optimal process, the unit controls the seed temperature. It also features a special rotating movement that helps achieve an equal and even seed coating. It is also worth mentioning that to increase the success rate of seeds coating, it is highly recommended that the seeds go through a <a href="https://making.com/equipment/seeds-blowing-machine-for-separation/">seed cleaning process</a> beforehand.

Moreover, the air humidity and temperature of the airflow created during the dressing process are adjustable, enabling operators to regulate and control the entire process. Since it’s a closed system, it’s also suitable for insecticides and fungicides applications.

The RDC 800 boasts a window and lighting in the cover, so you can control the process visually as well. Its modular design further makes it easy to clean, while its nickel-plated coating chamber protects it from excessive wear. The nickel-plating helps even more than stainless steel to protect the machine from corrosion.

Lastly, the RDC-800 has a capacity between 20 and 52 litres of seed per batch and is ideal for vegetable, grains, and flower seeds for large scale operations. Users can pack the output as soon as they are discharged.

Seed Coating Machine With Integrated Dryer

Seed Processing Holland offers threshing, extraction, drying, priming, germination, cleaning, pelleting, film coating, weighing and packing machines for all types of flower seeds, vegetable seeds and field crop seeds.

Oil rape seeds attract much attention for their nutritional properties. Not only from food manufacturers but from pests too. Aphids, beetles, moths, and a host of other insects all want a piece of the grower’s multiplication plot.

Seed protection treatments are formulated to repel attacks without harming non-target ecosystem elements.

However, variations in treatments mean wastage and discrepancies in the weight of consignments. More worryingly, they affect the growth cycle of rapeseed, leading to inconsistent harvesting.


<h3>Coating to a perfect fit</h3>
Willem van Dok from Seed Processing Holland says that the treatment must cover 100% of the surface of the oil rape seeds. “The objective of growers is to obtain the highest yield for oil pressing, so exposed parts invite infestations and viruses.”

So the challenge is applying this treatment to a lot containing hundreds of seeds. “The main question for seed processing,” Willem notes, “Is how to coat every individual seed uniformly.” This becomes particularly tricky when working with treatments with a high liquid ratio.

But Seed Processing Holland doesn’t just pose the questions; it provides answers too. Willem explains how coating technology achieves homogeneous treatment at high speed.
<h3>Leave no seed unturned</h3>
Seeds are discharged in a rotary coating system and dried with dehumidified warm air. Simultaneously, the treatment mixture is pumped onto a spinning disc at the center of the system, distributing the coating evenly on the seeds as they revolve. During the seed treatment application, the seeds are dried and, when ready, discharged.

“We have pre-programmed this complex operation specifically for oilrape seeds,” says Willem, a solution to ensure homogeneity between lots and across batches.

A well-layered coating gives oilrape seeds their best chance to grow into seedlings. A fresh plot of foundation seeds is an open invitation to a banquet for pests, but precise treatment application closes the kitchen to them.

Stop treating pests to oilrape stock: treat your seed lot instead
