Excellent equipment and support wins orders
Queen of Hearts chose Turbo Systems for the latest automated line to deposit a combination of icings and butter creams quickly and efficiently, with a single lane slat band conveyor
This now gives Turbo the capacity to premix, pump, aerate and deposit a variety of products, including cakes, sponges, creams, macaroons, Swiss rolls and other aerated products.
The patented system of Shuffle mix is based on the traditional method of churning milk, in which a handle, attached to a disk with several holes, moves up and down mixing the liquid in a wooden barrel.
Shuffle mix uses this principle and operates using a stainless steel bar (handle) with multiple disks mounted on a tube, pumping both the product and the air.

VP100 transfer pumps for ready meals
One of the top names in frozen ready meals has purchased a range of VP100 transfer pumps from the market-leading specialists, Turbo Systems
When the bar moves back, turbulence behind the holes is created, which mixes the air with the product to create an evenly blended mixture.
The latest model is able to deal with particle sizes as small as 5mm cubed and is designed to allow a massive 95% of the product to be processed effectively.
The mixing process virtually eliminates any resistance to the product, which ensures the temperature remains low and allows a large number of products to be processed without the need for additional cooling.
Although a cooling system can also be fitted if required.
Its sophisticated mixing chamber creates an environment that has virtually no dead spots with 0.05mm clearance between aeration pin discs and the chamber wall.
This increases the quality of the product passing through the shearing action achieving a higher quality finished product.
Some advantages of the Shuffle mix include a small footprint for minimal factory space, in-line mixing tubes to remove dead spots and make cleaning easier, PLC controls to allow simple integration with existing systems, and its compact and light structure makes moving effortless.
The machine is comprised of two stainless steel mixing tubes, each containing a shaft onto which shuffle discs are fitted, and a fixed stainless steel pipe called the 'mixtube'.
The mixtube is jacketed to enable cooling or heating liquid to circulate and maintains an optimum temperature of the product.
Managing director of Turbo Systems, Andy Lang, commented on the new equipment: "Shuffle Mix BV and Turbo Systems have over 80 years combined experience developing food processing machinery.
And from our initial conversations with Shuffle Mix BV, it became apparent that its innovative equipment would complement the Turbo range and we were very happy to act as its UK distributor.
The Shuffle mix range is a unique offering and we are very excited to see the reaction in the bakery sector.".
