In-line mixer / homogenisers keep sauce consistent
Production at the premises of The Sauce Company located in Scunthorpe is always maintained at optimum levels by using a number of mixer/homogenisers provided by Advanced Engineering
A moderate capital investment, combined with improved mixing, a dramatic reduction in production times, as well as a reduction in the labour requirement means that the equipment can achieve a very short pay-back period.
Called Ad-Pro, this unit has been developed to provide cost effective solutions to processing problems in the food, chemical, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.
It provides the multi-function capacities of blending, dispensing and homogenising for the production of highly stable emulsions and suspensions, while incorporating the additional features of de-aerating, conveying and discharging when incorporated with associated vessels into a production processing line.

Advanced Engineering can make available a test rig assembly to undertake site trials.
This comprises a 200 litre mixing vessel together with two additive feed vessels each of 50 litres capacity.
These are suitable for both wet and dry additive ingredients which are dispensed under vacuum to the mix.
The high shear emulsifier which is fitted incorporates a combination of multi-row toothed rotor/stator cutters, together with a highly efficient propeller to achieve the desired mixing effect.
The mixing vessel capacity and number of additive feed vessels could be modified to suit specific requirements for process line applications.
The product mixing vessel is jacketed with provision made for either heating or cooling water inlet/outlet.
It is fitted with a pressure tested sealed lid suitable for vacuum operation, and a motorised paddle stirrer and scraper is incorporated.
The test rig is also fitted with all necessary mixing valves and drive motors, with operation from a 440 volt 3 phase supply.
The electrical control panel can include PLC controlled operation sequencing, to undertake fully automatic trials on a wide range of processing media.
Provision is made for manual input of mix times and delivery intervals for both wet and dry additive doses.
A three way divert valve is also provided to facilitate laboratory examination and testing of product samples.
All surfaces in contact with the process media are 316 stainless steel with polished finish.
The full test rig assembly is mounted on a stainless steel sub-frame suitable for fork lift transportation and site location.
