Waukesha

Waukesha Cherry-Burrell’s shear pump offers a choice of interchangeable stators and rotors that make it extremely versatile by allowing the ability to texturize, emulsify, blend, reconstitute, suspend, disperse or polish a variety of food products. Variable speed drives may also be used to further adjust the shear and mixing affects. WCB’s colloid mill has shearing and mixing forces that produce controlled, highly sheared, uniform dispersions and stable emulsions. A range of product viscosity may be processed. Higher viscosity products are processed at lower flow rates to stay within the pressure limit. Typical applications include salad dressing, mayonnaise, and liquid egg homogenization.

Chester-Jensen

The batch mixing processor is designed to cook, and if required, cool any pumpable food product. Standard sizes available in working capacities of 50, 100, 200, and 400 gal. Larger capacities attainable when filling full-to-brim. The key to quick, even cooking is the 30° pressure wall cone bottom that offers an impressive ratio of heat exchange surface to unit size. This steam jacket is  manufactured entirely of heavy gauge stainless steel, spot welded to the inside liner. Now, for most processors, the main concern, in addition to rapid heat exchange, is for adequate and thorough blending without damage to particle size. The piggyback drive provides mixing and blending action to accomplish this end. The scraper agitator continuously scrapes the bottom revolving at a slow speed in a clockwise direction, while the tri-blade center agitator rotates in the opposite direction at a higher rate of speed. A stationary baffle is also employed to enhance agitation.

The Tetra Almix is a complete mixing solution designed to deal with the full range of powders, oils and liquids used in the making of modern dairy products. It solves any problem of lumping or fat separation to produce a homogenous product of superior quality. And it does the job in the most natural way possible, in a liquid-filled, high turbulent tank, with no introduction of air. At high speed, the rotor traps liquids and powders in a strong vortex, forcing the ingredients through the perforated stator at the optimal shear rate.

Munson

The Model 700-TH-20-SSJ Sanitary, Jacketed Rotary Batch Mixer gently blends batches of ingredients in parts as small as one per million with 100% uniformity in less than three minutes, while keeping materials heated or cooled. The mixer can be piped to an in-plant chiller to prevent heat-sensitive bulk products from agglomerating, clumping, degrading, smearing and/or sticking to contact surfaces of mixing and packaging machinery, or to the final consumer packaging, or to an in-plant steam, hot water or hot oil system to maintain elevated material temperatures during processing. The 3-A and USDA compliant unit reportedly evacuates 100% of the batch, and can be sanitized rapidly with no tools.
