Get superior performance

Faced with a tight construction time frame, a leading soft drink manufacturer asked Alfa Laval to select equipment for a new mixing processing line. After analyzing the shear-sensitive syrup formulation and testing mixing equipment under actual operating conditions, our experts found the Alfa Laval Rotary Jet Mixer delivered superior performance compared with conventional agitators.

 

Cut mixing time by more than 80%

Installing the right equipment ensures more uptime, higher productivity and yields, and sustainable cost savings. The Application & Innovation Centre determined the Rotary Jet Mixer reduced mixing time from 20 minutes using their conventional agitators to just two minutes while ensuring the formulation’s structural integrity.
