There may be times when certain recipes need high shear. For tanks that already have an agitator, it may be difficult to retrofit that tank with a high shear mixer. Other times, there may not be enough room on top of the tank to add a high shear in-tank mixer when there is already an agitator to that tank. This could be due to ceiling height limitations or just not enough of a footprint on the top of the tank to allow another mixer. The answer. . . add an inline high shear mixer at the discharge of that tank. The equipment. . . the Admix DynaShear. It is very versatile and is a great solution to many mixing issues. Here are some examples:
Cosmetics and Personal Care:
 |
Improve emulsions as well as disperse and de-agglomerate powders and pigments. |
|
Disperse and hydrate gums like Carbopol, thus increasing the finished viscosity and extending stability. |
|
Just blend the tank and discharge the contents through the DynaShear. |
Dairy:
|
Finish and blend to uniformity many recipes like ice cream pre-mixes. |
|
Disperse milk powders to eliminate “fish eyes.” This can often be used after your bottom-entry high shear mixer that misses these lumps. This includes cocoa powders. |
|
Make Greek yogurt out of cottage cheese! |
Confection:
|
Assure that sugar is fully dissolved in slurries |
|
Make liquid sugar from granulated sugar, eliminating the need to buy liquid invert sugar and the issues with long-term storage. |
|
Ensure that milk powders are fully hydrated for caramel production, eliminating those small “pencil points” of milk powder that a bottom entry mixer just cannot accomplish. |
Cereal:
|
Make sure all the tough, sticky powers in a granola binder, like soy protein, maltodextrin and inulin, are fully dispersed with no clumps. |
Prepared Foods:
|
Puree corn, fruit, and even red peppers and chilies. |
|
Finish salad dressings and sauces with a higher throughput than colloid mills. |
|
Fully hydrate gums, pectin and gelatin with ambient water. This saves on energy costs when the water does not need to be heated. |
The DynaShear is easy to install, and it will make cleaning down-stream strainers a rare maintenance step instead of a chronic headache. Call Admix or your local Admix representative for more information. DynaShear truly is the versatile mixer than can!
