Background / Application
- Homogenization of fruit juice concentrate and pre-mixing
- Improvement of sensory values
- Reducing tendency to settle through targeted reduction of particle size
- In addition to high capital investment and excessive energy consumption costs for high-pressure homogenizers, the costs for maintenance and wear parts are another important issue.
- Furthermore, the formation of metallic taste can be the result
The YTRON solution
- Use of YTRON-Z homogenizer
- The reactor head contains up to three rotor-stator sets with extremely fine radial tolerances
- The product is passed in a forced passage through the labyrinth created by the rotor-stator sets
- The InLine principle effects a defined and reproducible shear force in a single pass
Advantages of the YTRON-Z in YTRONizing
- Clogging or blocking of filling valves / nozzles by the fibre content of the juice is eliminated
- Viscosity is not significantly affected
- YTRONizing with YTRON-Z produces comparable results to those of a high-pressure homogenizer for many juices
- Significant reduction of capital investment & operating costs
