SELECTING THE RIGHT PROCESS EQUIPMENT
S
electing the correct process equipment can be a challenging experience when handling shear sensitive yoghurts or viscous fruit preps with large delicate solid pieces which must not be damaged during the pumping, mixing and filling phases. Available floor space can often provide obstacles when considering mixing tanks or additional filling equipment.
With decades of experience designing Hygienic Systems with low energy consumption and minimised production losses, PCM Food Systems can provide industry leading benefits to your yoghurt transfer, and fruit mixing processes. PCM Systems can allow a wide range of products with varying viscosities from flavoured drinking yoghurt to Fruit infused Skyr whilst using the same equipment providing additional savings on Capital Equipment. PCM HYCARE Progressive Cavity Pumps allow gentle handling of yoghurts with low shear. Minimal pulsations will allow accurate flow monitoring when using a flowmeter. Optimised for cleaning in place can reduce cleaning times and water consumption.
Dosing fruit preps with large solid pieces at low flowrates can be difficult when using a flowmeter which may have a reduced bore. The PCM Dosys piston pumps can overcome such dosing difficulties by using volumetric dosing, allowing solid pieces up to 40mm to pass through the pump head. With strong self priming capabilities, PCM Dosys pumps allow flexible suction pipework configurations that may require a suction lift during the priming phase.
PCM In-line Dynamic mixers can save valuable
floor space by removing the use of large mixing vessels with flexible ‘off the floor’ mounting locations. With minimal shearing and handling large solid pieces capabilities up to 40mm, PCM Dosymix can overcome many process obstacles in one compact unit.
