PROCESS SYSTEMS FOR MIXING GELATIN POWDERS

The key issue when processing gelling agents such as gelatin is cross contamination. Gelling agents, also known as stabilizers and thickeners, are high molecular weight compounds. Their composition makes them difficult to process when wet, and cause difficulties when cleaning equipment in the processing line.

Hosokawa Micron is an expert in the design of complete systems for processing gelling agents: complete systems that will avoid cross contamination and minimize residue. Hosokawa’s complete solutions for processing gelling agents typically incorporate powder premixing with Nauta® conical screw mixers, powder dosing, pneumatic conveying, powder milling, product classification (sieving) and handling, packaging and storage of the final product.

The advantages to this combination are precise mixing of different grades and different types of gelatin; flexible batch sizes; variable mixing processes; minimal residue after unloading the blender and no more need to segregate whilst discharging.
