High-pressure food processing system LAB+

laboratoryvacuum

With our newly-developed unit line Lab+, we are offering a micro-unit that can continuously produce in a range from 8 to 16 kg/h. Thanks to our innovative technology, a scale-up of the unit to larger throughputs is possible without any loss of quality. This laboratory plant is particularly interesting for manufacturers of small quantities of high quality products, such as OTC products. Another application area for this small unit is the field of product development (R&D). The integrated system has a raw material preparation station with a high-shear mixer for homogeneous mixing of raw materials. In addition to crystals, powders and liquids, all commercially available jellifying agents can be mixed too. Should the raw materials not be pre-weighed already, integrated weighing is possible. A frequency-controlled dosing pump delivers the pre-product to the JELLYSTAR® Lab+ or ROTAMAT® Lab+, (if dairy or protein-containing materials are being processed). A subsequent vacuuming lowers the temperature and water content of the mass before colours, flavours, acids or active ingredients are added in a continuous dosing station. Given that the quantities are very small, special pumps are employed, which can be optionally equipped with flow meters. Especially interesting for newcomers or customers with little infrastructure at site: • NPA option ­– the system does not need compressed air connection and therefore no compressor. • NSS option – operated without steam which eliminates the need for steam installations or steam generators at installation site.
