Reaction flavors milling Equipment

Milling machines are used to reduce the size of material by cutting, crushing, or grinding it. The choice of industrial milling equipment depends on the industry and the materials to work with. Besides, there is a significant difference between those aimed to remove layers from metal or other materials workpieces and those designed to reduce particle size for materials that come in bulk.

Everything tastes like porridge, the saying goes. That may be an exaggeration, but in theory, reaction flavors could make everything taste the same. Thankfully, flavorists and chemists in the flavor industry are more inventive than that, and colorful process flavors treat our taste buds to a broad palette of sensations, flavors and aromas.

Jet mills are frequently used in the pharmaceutical industry and also for the production of fine-grade chemicals. Jet milling uses highly compressed air or other gasses to reduce particles into powders with dimensions as small as one micron across.


<h2>Milling with high purity and minimal contamination</h2>
The Spiral Jet Mill - AS Aeroplex from Hosokawa Alpine is used to manufacture fine-grade chemicals for ultrafine size reduction of dry materials with a crystalline structure up to a Mohs hardness of 3.

Because it has no rotating components, there are consequently no bearings and shaft seals, and thus no lubricants are used. Contamination from these sources is therefore impossible.

This device is frequently used in the pharmaceutical industry to manufacture fine-grade chemicals, to create polymer powders for the plastics industry, adhesives, cosmetics, paint and ink compounds, pharmaceuticals, and more.

Table roller mills are robust and time-proven mills for soft to medium-hard mineral raw materials and industrial bulk materials. The advantages of the table roller mill are the simple fineness adjustment and fast product change. Table roller mills are used wherever a high degree of production flexibility is demanded.


<h2>Flexible production of large amounts of fines</h2>
The Table Roller Mill AWM from Hosokawa Alpine operates in accordance with the principle of pressure comminution, making them suitable for brittle but elastic feed products to deliver end-product fineness values of between approx. 10 µm and 100 µm.

A fundamental feature of Alpine's table roller mill is the optimized kinematics of the grinding rollers and grinding table to permit the production of large amounts of fines

Table roller mills are used wherever a high degree of production flexibility is demanded, for example for limestone, gypsum, dolomite, talc, petroleum coke, bentonite, quick lime, and so on.

Drying and grinding can be an important feature when trying to process products such as raw and refined minerals, organic and inorganic chemicals, food ingredients and waste streams. It is crucial to maintain particle size and consistent quality of the finished product during such processes. You will need an efficient and abrasion resistant attrition solution to pulverise and dry your product into your required particle size.


<h2>A simplified process while drying and grinding ensuring high product quality</h2>
Atritor’s Dryer-Pulveriser is able to grind and dry the product simultaneously. It is an air-swept mill that uses an air stream to efficiently process the product and controls the final particle size. It is able to process feedstocks of up to 50+mm and production capacities from 100kg/h up to 30t/h with evaporation rates up to 6,000 kilograms per hour.

The mill acts as an efficient dryer when the process air is heated using a hot air generator or waste heat from another process. It can reach an inlet temperature of up to 550ºC. Heat energy from the process can be recovered from the heated air stream. After flash drying, the product is kept cool due to evaporative cooling. The output temperature of the product is maintained accordingly to control the moisture content of the product.

The Flash drying grinder for powders is configured with a combination of variable speed rotor, hammer arrangement and fixed pins. Turbulence inside the grinding area creates attrition to reduce the particle size, which can be controlled for simple deagglomeration of the product. An internal classifier configuration can also be used to further control particle size.

The ‘A’-series is constructed with internals that are resistant to abrasion for applications that can cause high amounts of wearing to the equipment. Where the desired amount of evaporation required far exceeds the grinding duty, the ‘B’-series machine of a lighter weight, fully fabricated configuration permitting higher airflows can be used for non-wearing product or duties, as well as for for applications in which stainless steel contact parts may be necessary.

Organic volatile compounds from fruits, vegetables and herbs are essential to manufacturing flavors, extracts, and pure powders. But elevating temperatures during the evaporation process risks altering their chemical structure and lowering the quality of the final product.


<h2>Gentle freeze-drying for fruit powders, herbal extracts, and flavors</h2>
The DryBand system by Bucher Merk is a dynamic belt dryer designed to dry delicate food ingredients. The material moves through an intermediate vacuum chamber between the top and bottom belt section. The drying unit has a vacuum range of 0.5 to 50 mbar and a feeding rate of up to 4,000 kg/h.

The continuous system can be configured for variable or constant drying with heating plates underneath the belt. A crushing device at the discharge end breaks the dried products into powders after drying. Meanwhile, the vapors are collected in an integrated condenser.

Bucher Merk Process offers vacuum drying, freeze drying and zeodration solutions for the production of valuable concentrates in food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

Plant-based eating has taken the world by storm, emerging as a global phenomenon among individuals seeking a more sustainable lifestyle.

Once criticized for being flavorless, plant-based cuisine has made impressive strides in creating delicious and meat-like dishes. As a result, people now anticipate being pleasantly surprised by new tastes and flavors, such as meaty and roasty variations.

That’s where reaction flavors come in. The Maillard reaction, which occurs when amino groups (proteins) and reducing sugars are subjected to heat, creates the aromatic compounds that contribute to these rich, roasty, and meaty flavors.

Food ingredient producers usually dry food additives, such as reaction flavors, with vacuum (belt) drying technology. But here's the catch: not all reaction flavors are created equal, and for some stronger flavors, relying solely on the contact heating in the dryer may not be enough.


<h2>Bring flexibility on board your vacuum belt dryer</h2>
Driven by our curiosity about the topic, we spoke with a team of drying experts from <a href="https://www.bucherunipektin.com/bucher-merk-process" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bucher Merk</a>, which specializes in vacuum drying.

According to process engineer Stefan Schmiedlin: “<em>Not all customers desire the same flavors. Some want a stronger profile, while others prefer a lighter taste. And it all comes down to controlling the Maillard reaction, which requires optimal heat distribution.” </em>

Overheating has a risk of darker color or taste changes or even burned aspects for some flavors. Bucher Merk developed a patented solution with radiant heating plates for its vacuum belt dryer that offers to control the effect of the Maillard reaction.

<em>"Flexibility for food additive producers is key. Products that require a strong Maillard reaction, as well as those which need more heat for drying as pectin, can be dried using additional radiant heating technology instead of the standard vacuum belt dryer. Having the option to dry with or without heating plates allows makers to dry multiple products in one installation,”  </em>says Mayur Modi, Process and Sales Director at Bucher Merk.

Bucher Merk vacuum belt dryer has six heat zones - four for heating and two for cooling - each with its own temperature controls. With the addition of radiation plates above each heating zone, the Maillard reaction can be controlled much better.
<h2>What reaction flavors need is just more energy</h2>
“<em>Just</em> <em>picture your kitchen oven with both lower and upper heating elements. Similarly, in the vacuum belt dryer, we have a contact plate beneath the belt and the heating plates positioned on top that allows radiation heating,” </em>explains Stefan.

The energy applied from both sides – the top and the bottom – ensures uniform drying over the cake thickness.

“<em>But there’s more. This approach also significantly reduces residence time resulting in increased throughput per hour</em>,” Andreas Hauri, Business Development Manager at Bucher Merk, points out.

And adding more energy doesn't mean higher costs. In fact, it's quite the opposite. The belt moves faster to have a short residence time, allowing for higher material throughput per hour.

Thanks to these radiant heating plates, making rich, meaty, or roasty flavors has never been easier and flavor makers can unleash their creativity in a single drying system.

From flavorless to fabulous: unlocking the full potential of reaction flavors for tasty plant-based food

Food

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

Herbs have always been shrouded in mystery. The delicate plans produce overpowering bouquets and potent remedies. Herbal extraction technology gets to the core of this mystery and makes bioactive compounds available for a range of applications. Rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and aromas, herbal extracts are vital ingredients for medicines, foods, cosmetics, and wellness products.

Herbal extracts

The building blocks of matter have driven the imagination of philosophers, scientists, and artists for millennia. But, for manufacturers, these elements have a more concrete existence as powders. Powder processing technology conditions these primary materials to create a vast range of products, from chemicals and foods to pharmaceuticals and ceramics.
