To achieve the best possible product and yield, we will use our extensive experience and expertise in fermented foods, and include designs such as cone bases in tank bottoms, scraped surface agitation, instrumentation to control the process, and rapid cooling systems to chill your final product.

The most common application for homogenisation in dairy is to disperse the cream in milk or ice cream mix into a homogenous emulsion, preventing future cream separation and keeping the product in a consistent state over time.

Homogenisation occurs via mechanical means, the product is subjected to high pressure/velocity as it is forced through a small orifice causing turbulence and cavitation thus high shear breaking the particles down and dispersing them throughout.

Homogenisers are also used for various different pharmaceutical or laboratory applications. With a fully integrated design and process team at Thermaflo, we are able to specify the correct homogeniser and high-pressure pump units specifically for your application.

• Green chemicals (starch, proteins, bioethanol, vinasses K2SO4)

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 compression head is manufactured from a single block of high quality, special type, ultrasounds checked stainless steel, with a 5 year guarantee against cracks and defects.

Valve assembly housed within an individually inspectable AISI 316 stainless steel block

Pumping Pistons manufactured with a rear cooling chamber, a double guide to keep a perfect alignment, and a special “Diamond-Like Carbon” plating as a standard

Valve group assemblies have replaceable seats and hemispherical valve shutters, ideal for processing a variety of products

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.

Having been involved in the juice, dairy, honey and other liquid food industry we know how the requirements change dramatically between each of our clients. We will work with you to design a complete reception area for your plant that will not only be fit for purpose, but will also allow for future expansion.

We take the time to talk to our clients, see what their goals are in terms of future growth to ensure that the reception area we design will allow them to upgrade and expand in the future.

From raw milk, to powders, pallets and pallecons we can design a system that is custom-built for your process and the products you wish to produce.

We will ensure that it easily integrates with existing process equipment and is easily accessible to all CIP/SIP facilities where required.

Perfect for startups or small scale production where flexibility is key.

The beauty of a containerised process plant is that you receive a specifically designed, fit for purpose process plant that is housed in a fully hygienic, fitted out container that is built to meet the highest international food grade standards.  Container plants are ideally suited to small scale and start-up plants where future production levels are unknown. Purchasing a container plant will help keep your costs down, while you begin production and therefore entry into your target market while allowing for future flexibility.

Technical Design: The majority of your process plant is designed and fabricated within either a 20 or 40 foot shipping container or a combination of these. Depending on your application, the only external elements of your plant will be the piping for water connection, boiler, chiller and raw product tank that may already be housed outside of the container.

Process Plant Fabrication & Workshop Commissioning: Our mechanical and electrical teams will fit out the container to meet the highest food grade standards. From there, the equipment and pipework will be fabricated and installed. Once the process plant fabrication has been completed, our team will commission the plant within our workshop. We will make sure everything is running the way that it should before we send it to the site.

Site Installation: Once both fabrication and commissioning is complete we will have the container transported to your location. When the container arrives our highly skilled engineers will come to your site and carry out all the work necessary to get you up and running.

Training: This is a very important aspect that needs a lot of consideration. Although many people that contact Thermaflo have experience working in a process plant before they purchase a container plant, there is still a lot to learn in the daily operations of the plant. Our team are able to teach all personnel involved in plant operations the correct way to operate the equipment. We will show you how to avoid waste, comply with industry standards and make your final product.

Compliance: Internationally there is very high compliance for the production of food, health care and pharmaceutical products. We will work closely with you to make sure that the products you are producing are safe for human consumption and that you are operating to the highest food safety standard. This will allow you to produce a safe, quality product, without worrying about product fault.

After Sales support: This includes both preventative maintenance service support on a scheduled programme as well as on the phone support for the operators and local tradesmen.
