Quadro Liquids - Mixing & Dispersion

Dispersing Flavors in Ice Cream Manufacturing

Written by Matt Baumber | Apr 7, 2021 2:17:00 PM

Background/Requirement for Ice Cream Manufacturing

One process in the manufacture of ice cream is the incorporation of a range of flavors such as fudge, caramel, peanut butter and maple syrup into the ice cream base. This requires a mixer to disperse and blend very viscous ingredients (up to 500,000 centipoises) into a low viscosity base.

Performance of the Jet Mixer

The Quadro Ytron® Y Jet Mixer incorporates a specially designed rotor/stator mixing head to deliver a pure axial flow pattern, replacing the radial action generated by conventional open impeller design agitators. The Y Jet Mixer is capable of producing a lump-free and air-free flavor dispersion of ingredients such as fudge and caramel, in seconds.

How to Disperse Viscous Flavors

Our high shear mixing equipment disperses viscous flavors into ice cream base more quickly, more consistently, achieving a better quality than traditional methods. The Ytron® equipment's versatility, cleanability, simplicity and low maintenance make it ideal for use in the Food and related industries.

Y Jet Mixer Features

  • Eliminates tank baffling
  • Eliminates vortexing and unwanted air entrainment
  • Eliminates stratification throughout the vessel
  • Blend times reduced
  • Easily suspends and re-suspends high settling rate solids
  • Easily maintains complete tank motion of high viscosity fluids
  • Low shear, bulk tank mixing for gentle handling of shear-sensitive products (eg. Does not emulsify fruit, nuts, candies etc.).
