Equipment
Equipment Snapshot: Several improvements have been made to previous generations of TTS enrobers, paving the way to Sollich's newly developed Minicoater MC 420.
This enrober is a small-scale chocolate coater with a built-in chocolate tempering system. The new Minicoater has a separate frequency-controlled drive for the bottoming roller and a removable wire tensioned detailer system. This enrober comes in either a 12- or 16-inch-wide wire belt. It has a capacity of 120 kg per hour.
Equipment Snapshot: The ROSS Inline Ultra High Shear Mixer 700 Series is designed for challenging shear requirements, serving as a more efficient alternative to colloid mills, which generally suffer from low throughput.
Depending on the application, it can replace high-pressure homogenization or serve as a pre-mixer to high-pressure homogenizers to mitigate clogging and inconsistent feed quality issues. To meet the specific demands of niche processes in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries, ROSS developed the QuadSlot rotor/stator for demanding applications where conventional rotor/stator mixers fall short but do not require the intensity of other ROSS 700 Series ultra-high shear designs.
By exposing product to four successive stages of increasing shear, the QuadSlot often provides a perfect balance of shear and flow capacity in the inline processing of emulsions, agglomerate size reduction, and gas-liquid mixing. The washdown-duty Model HSM-706Q-40 features a 40-horsepower motor with a 6-inch QuadSlot rotor that runs at tip speeds over 11,000 fpm. This mixer is easy to clean and sanitize in place, saving time and allowing for longer production runs.
Equipment Snapshot: The Hygienic Washdown Labeler is engineered with 304 stainless steel and passivated for corrosion resistance. The labeler's clean-in-place design provides minimal contamination points. This allows for minimal disassembly with easy cleaning and maintenance, reducing risk of contamination on the factory floor. The labeler is mobile, utilizing a small footprint to quickly change workstation locations and be easily cleaned on the factory floor.
Other features include the computer-controlled brushless servo motors for flexible high-speed accuracy, precisely placing labels on product.
The labeler meets IP69K requirements and meets and exceeds IP66/NEMA4X standards to ensure consistent washdown performance. It’s capable of running up to 12-inch-wide labels. The adjustable angular peel plate is suitable for a range of applications. Separate unwind, drive, and rewind servo controls provide maximum control, stability, and performance.
