The Limitech My Mix Lab Scale Mixer is ideal for new product development. The multifunctional mixer is fully scalable, so the output from the 10L lab scale mixer can be reproduced exactly in a 1000L commercial-scale mixer.

The MyMix can be fitted with different (and easily changeable) mixing tools. The mixer can handle almost any liquid to semi-liquid product – including fine emulsions with oil droplets down to 1 micron – and gentle cooking processes with particles, all in the same vessel.

The agitator system is designed to gently blend without destroying particles, and at the same time efficiently scrape the inside tank wall to ensure maximum heating and cooling transfer into the product.

The Direct Steam Injection UHT/HTST system is designed for comparisons of heat treatment with either direct heating or indirect heating.

The machine can be supplied with tubes, plates or both. Processing using either direct heating or indirect heating at temperatures to 152 deg C and flow rates from 10 to 40 Ltr per hour. Easy changeover from direct heating or indirect heating by the touch of a button. Just select which system is to be used from the touch panel menu and the machine is ready to use.

Individual tubes are utilized to give a wide variety of heating and cooling duties. The tubes are manufactured to our own specification and are profiled to give turbulence at the low flow rates to enable scale up to production.

No-bond Gasketed plate heat exchangers offer a wide variety of heating and cooling duties. The plates are manufactured to our own specification and can be supplied as 1 complete plate pack or individual units for easy maintenance.

Each section is individually controlled and the flow path of the system is shown on the touch panel

• Minimum sample required.
• Holding tubes of any time available and can be placed wherever needed.
• Built in refrigerator or your chilled water supply.
• Touch panel control fascia with flow path of system.
• Vacuum pump to 400 mbar.
• PID controlled steam valve.
• Aseptic sampling when used with the optional Clean Bench.
• Level sensor in hopper for easy wash out after product and CIP.
• Steam, mains water and a suitable drain required.
• Compressed air at 6 bar for the divert valves.

This system is absolutely flexible and can also be used as a margarine and spreads processor. Each section is individually controlled and the flow path of the system is shown when the option of the touch panel is taken. The product is heated by pressurised hot water recirculators which are PID controlled for greater stability and accuracy. The cooling is in 1 or 2 stages depending on the final cooling temperature required.

• Minimum sample required.
• Jacketed feed hopper for control of product inlet temperature.
• Flow rates from 20 to 100 Ltr per hour (Higher available by request).
• Heating to 152 deg C at the flow rates stated.
• Cooling to below 5 deg C at the flow rates stated.
• Holding tubes of any time available and can be placed wherever needed.
• Built in refrigerator or your chilled water supply.
• Built in true CIP (Clean In Place), flow for CIP more than 500 Ltr per hour.
• Each heating section is individually controlled to enable a wide setting of product temperatures.
• Electrically heated hot water recirculators. The number dependant on barrel numbers.
• No steam required.
• SIP (Sterilise In Place) an option for Aseptic sampling.
• Aseptic sampling when used with the optional Clean Bench.
• In line homogeniser can be added either upstream or downstream.
• Level sensor in hopper for easy wash out after product and CIP.
• Computer interface with real time temperature recording.
• The machine is completely mobile, can be moved from one location to another very easily and can be positioned in a wet or dry area.

All machines are designed to replicate full-scale production machines on a pilot scale. The design incorporates different pump options to suit the product to be processed. All product contact surfaces are of FDA approved materials. Each system has built-in CIP, so there is no need to add external feed tanks and pumps.

• Minimum sample required.
• Jacketed feed hopper for control of product inlet temperature.
• Hard chrome plated barrels.
• Single barrel + pinworker or twin barrel + pinworker.
• Shaft speeds to 1500 rpm.
• Speed and torque indicators.
• Can be used for sheet margarines with resting tubes of any time.
• Built in refrigerator or your chilled water supply.
• Built in true CIP (Clean In Place), flow for CIP more than 500 Ltr per hour.
• Electrically heated hot water recirculator as option for CIP heating.
• No steam required.
• Level sensor in hopper for easy wash out after product and CIP.
• Computer interface with real time temperature recording.

The laminar flow Clean Bench is the most effective method of ensuring a clean zone around the critical work area. The work area can be kept at class 100 utilizing horizontal or vertical laminar flow.

• Filtered Clean Air to class 100.
• Buffer Tank ensures product never enters outside atmosphere.
• Foot switch operated filling valve.
• Sampling valve inside Clean Zone.
• High Efficiency Particle Air HEPA filter and fan.

Both models have a double homogenising stage and with a pressurizable hopper with a capacity of 0.8 or 1.6 litres.

Both models are equipped with two pumping pistons, so the lab-scale processing results are comparable/replicable with larger commercial-scale models.

The Tube & Plate UHT/HTST machine can be designed and built to suit, with tubes or plates or both on one base.

The system is designed for easy changeover from one system to the other with the touch of a button. Just select which system is to be used from the touch panel menu and the machine is ready to use.

There is no need to remove the plates and replace with tubes or vice versa, the divert valves will change the product and service flow through whichever system is chosen. Individual tubes are utilized to give a wide variety of heating and cooling duties. The tubes are manufactured to our own specification and are profiled to give turbulence at the low flow rates to enable scale up to production.
