Static mixers fulfil important tasks in the food processing industry. It is particularly suitable for admixing additives such as fragrances, flavors and dyestuff, minerals, trace elements, vitamins, emulsifiers and preservatives. Pasteurization and sterilization are further important areas of application.

Our processes provides the following advantages:

Stainless steel for hygienic processing
Motionless for maintenance free production
Static sealing to prevent contamination
Easy cleanable CIP/SIP
Small volumes
Minimum waste
Energy saving
Fast production

Curd and cream

Curd and cream

The curd or cream pasteurization takes place at 78°C. Cooling down fast with a low pressure drop is a big advantage of Sulzer heat exchangers. Thanks to this, you can benefit of a homogenized curd or cream without separation of whey fluid. Keeping the whey fluid results in higher protein-content of the curd or cream.

Chocolate

Melt it all to avoid crystals and lumps in the chocolate tank. The quick heat transfer of the Sulzer heat exchangers allows all fat crystals can be melted gently at the lowest possible temperature.
