Visco Jet mixer proves to be a smooth
move
Better mixing of fruit smoothies and yoghurt based drinks in a shorter time and with less foam in the finished product is a snapshot of the advantages resulting from retrofitting two Visco Jet mixers
Better mixing of its fruit smoothies and yoghurt based drinks in shorter time and with less foam formation in the finished batch is a snapshot of the advantages that the company 'Pete and Johnny' has described after retrofitting two 'Visco Jet' mixers from Orthos into existing tanks at their plant in Newark, Nottinghamshire Blending time is quoted as having been reduced by 60% and efficiency has 'greatly' improved by simplifying the on/off cycling required while a completed batch is being bottled

Both of the new mixers have variable speed drives.
Because only one impeller stage is now required instead of the two or three needed on the old type of mixer, and since this single impeller is at the bottom of the tank, it has proved perfect for mixing small batches in tanks normally too large to do so.
This is said to have meant the ultimate in production flexibility for P and J, now part of Pepsico.
Another advantage of the patented low-speed Visco Jet machines is their very low energy usage combined with exceptionally gentle but thorough mixing of virtually any kind of aqueous medium up to 100,000 mPas viscosity.
A unique cone-shaped impeller gives prolonged flow and turbulence at low circumferential speed to ensure rapid mixing while eliminating shearing action that can break up or damage heat-sensitive or fragile products.
