]]> Buying pre-processed materials, such as flour, and handling and dispersing them to produce plant-based milk can be complex and costly. While it could be beneficial for smaller-scale production, working with big batches requires more control over material costs and consistency in product quality.

Efficiently pre- and fine-grinds grains, nuts, and legumes for making beverages

The MD Disc Mill & MZ Toothed Colloid Mill from ProXES offer enhanced control over product quality when choosing in-house grinding over using pre-processed materials. It has a wider range of options, fine grinds, and long-term savings on raw material costs. The two-stage industrial-scale grinding skid pre-grinds the material and then fine-grinds it to an expected particle size ranging from 400 – 600 µm.

There are two grinding concepts: the first is using the hopper pump to continuously dose raw materials and water. It is suitable for high throughput applications, such as industrial soy and oat lines. It is also possible to dose raw material via the mill hopper and add water directly to the grinder. This ensures a higher level of flexibility with moderate throughput.

After grinding, the slurry goes through enzymatic treatment, where the large fibers are separated to make the correct formulation for the product. Follow-up steps include UHT treatment, as well as buffering and filling the cartons with the finalized plant-based milk.

The technology can be installed while upgrading an already existing processing line or designing a new one.

]]> When making jams and marmalades, gelling agents, such as pectin, are used to thicken the fruit juices. Pectin occurs in fruits naturally, but there are some fruit types that are not rich in its content. In this case, pectin is added during the mixing process. Dispersing and hydrating pectin could be difficult because when mixed with water, the powder tends to form agglomerates that don’t break down easily. This can lead to poor quality results and reduced yield, so it is crucial to choose a proper mixing technology.

Mixing emulsifiers, thickeners, and other food stabilizers

The Thickeners Preparer from Ghizzoni is a mixing unit used for preparing emulsifiers and thickeners, such as pectin or starch. This process provides a more controlled environment for the gelling agent solution, resulting in more consistent quality and better yield of the final product. This unit is usually integrated with the vacuum cooker, and its capacity is proportionally adjusted to it (usually emulsifier’s capacity is 10% of the vacuum cooker batch size). It is available in capacities ranging from 20 liters to 500 liters.

]]> Production of toffee and caramel products requires accurate and consistent cooking, and equipment choice needs to be carefully aligned to product type and quality. Traditional systems can be inflexible when it comes to meeting your exact requirements. A modular toffee and caramel system that can be specified to your exact requirements will improve product quality and increase efficiency across a range of confectionery lines.

Modular toffee and caramel cooking plant with many process options and outputs

The Baker Perkins Carablend modular toffee and caramel cooking plants enables you to specify exactly the right system to meet your product requirements. For example, Carablend can be tailored to produce a premium traditional toffee product at low volumes, or to provide excellent quality for budget products at high volumes. A wide range of toffee ingredients can be catered for, including those with high proportions of milk and fats.

At its heart, The Carablend system is built around a horizontally-mounted scraped surface heat exchanger. The scraper has a variable speed drive to cater to a range of throughputs, and has been designed with a unique forward and backward movement which provides exceptionally thorough mixing, ensuring high quality.

Outside the cooking unit, there is a choice of process units depending on your exact needs. The TCB Carablend process is used for cooking and caramelising toffees and caramel syrups at low to medium volumes. Cooking and caramelising occur simultaneously, and the end-product provides the “home-made” appeal of traditional toffees. On the other hand, the EC Carablend process provides a totally independent control over cooking and caramelising stages – this is needed when high throughput is needed with excellent quality and flexibility.

The modular concept of Carablend means that every system includes a Baker Perkins Autofeed fully-automatic weigh and mix system to produce a quality slurry. Reservoir tanks provide continuous feed to the whole system, and a pre-heater continuously dissolves or pre-heats syrups before cooking and caramelising, using either the TCB or EC processes chosen.
