ICF & Welko manufactures special plants designed to instantize food mixtures. These allow to obtain a porous finished agglomerated product with “instant” features. The equipment is designed for continuous production. It is able to form agglomerates with an open porous structure so as to be able to absorb liquids, thus instantly dissolving the agglomerate. The application is mainly for food, drink and diet markets where fine powders are used which, without the use of the instantizer, would form agglomerates floating on the surface of the liquid or deposits in the bottom. The instantizer uses steam in the process to make a product with better flowability and conveyance and ensure reproducible batches for filling and tablet presses. The instantized product can vary in size and structure to meet the different requirements of the market as regards sales units and finished-product size.
