| Background
Ice cream mixes involve the addition of large quantities
of powders into liquid, including many different stabilizing
and emulsifying agents. Typical ingredients include:
| |
. |
Milk powders |
| |
. |
Whey & protein powders |
| |
. |
Stabilizers including gelatin, egg white,
plant & cellulose-based gums |
| |
. |
Emulsifiers |
| |
. |
Sugars & artificial sweeteners |
| |
. |
Cocoa |
| |
. |
Color & flavoring agents |
|
 |
Conventional mixing methods often result in long processing
times, poor yield of raw materials, excessive air incorporation
and the development of lumps of partially hydrated material
which can build-up on the tank walls and heat exchanger surfaces.
This can impair heat transfer, make cleaning difficult, and
affect the performance of the homogenizer.
Premium Ice Cream Starts with
the Right Mix
The Quadro Ytron XC Powder Disperser is an in-line mixing and dispersion unit designed to incorporate and disperse large quantities of powders into liquids in a single-pass. The advantages of single-pass processing include:
No Lumps
| . |
Eliminates filtering, time consuming product recirculation
and downstream processing issues with heat exchangers
or homogenizers. Raw ingredient yields are maximized. |
Minimized Air Entrainment
| . |
Eliminates product foaming, waiting for de-aeration and the usage of de-foaming agents. |
High Capacity Solids Incorporation
| . |
Eliminates the need for recirculation often resulting
in batch time reductions up to 80% |
Flexibility
| . |
Portable in-line mixer eliminates the need for specialized
mixing equipment to be dedicated to each and every batch
vessel. |
Easy Clean-up
| . |
Mixer clean-up is quick & easy and has USDA Dairy, 3A, CIP design approval. |

Quadro's Approach
The Quadro Ytron XC Powder
Disperser has a dual-stage reactor housing designed
specifically to incorporate and disperse large quantities
of powders (up to 40% by weight) into a liquid stream.
The first stage in the reactor creates a strong vacuum
ensuring the powders are drawn into the reactor head.
Immediately after the powder
comes into contact with the liquid, the pre-mix is subjected
to directional and velocity changes as the mix repeatedly
impinges on stationary baffles. The second stage tangentially
discharges a smooth, lump-free, homogeneous product.
