Foodstuffs

To cover the wide spectrum of applications available for the field of foods / luxury foodstuffs we do not have enough space!

Mixers and dryers are used in all areas of this industry. Regardless of whether it is the manufacture of fragile products such as cereals or tea, the homogenisation of components in the production of baking mixtures and instant products, or the condensation of soup concentrates - all have one thing in common: extremely high requirements, such as:

• Highest levels of mix quality
• Particularly gentle product preparation
• Ease of formula change
• CIP-cleanability
• High operational safety standards
• High availability
• Good serviceability
• High flexibility
• Low operating costs
• Low investment costs

The special field of food stuff industry

Discussing about the topic "mixing technology" today does not longer mean the mere conditioning of different base products to a homogenous final product. The particular tasks - especially in the food stuff industry - are getting more and more difficult due to steadily growing requirements to solutions which are optimized, safe and economic. High importance is given to GMP design, CIP facilities and validationability. AVA offers an optimum combination of procedural know-how, high quality standards at the engineering process, intense customer-orientated consultation and reliable after sales service. Our best referees are numerous satisfied customers from the food stuff industry. We will demonstrate the productive efficiency of AVA mixing technology with mobile pilot plants at site or at our modern technical centre.

Applications

Spice mixtures and instant soups

The problem to be solved is mixing the fragile products without destroying the sensitive spices and at the same time coating them with melting fat. The batch mixers HTC bring the product into a mechanically induced movement and produce within shortest time a homogeneous mixture, cavity-free.

Further mixtures

• Instant beverages
• Tea mixtures
• Mixtures of instant coffee, espresso, cappuccino
• Adding of chocolate or similar
• Moistening of rice or similar
• Dumpling mixture

Bread mixes and baking ingredients

By implementing special elements and additionally installed choppers, the basic substances flour and water plus different ingredients are mixed within shortest time at high viscosity and without built of any clots. Depending on the specification, throughputs can be driven between 1 t and 250 t.

Cereals mixes

Cereals mixes are made from cereal flakes, corn flakes, extrudates and dried fruits, which are extremely fragile products. Simultaneously to the mixing process a solution is sprayed on this composition. This process happens in an absolutely cavity-free mixture while an accuracy of the mixed proportions of 1 : 100 000 is achieved.
