The Vacutherm® System is a compact process
unit. It
has been designed mainly for the production of
convenience food. Several process steps are combined
in one machine. The processing of liquid and solid
ingredients can be done as well as incorporation of
particles.
The Vacutherm® System of Stephan® has been
developed and optimized with the collaboration of
convenience foods manufacturers. Precisely controlled
processes result in high product quality and
repeatability. The highly flexible system produces a
wide range of food products.

Design
of the Vacutherm® System
The compact system combines several process
steps in one machine. These are mixing, dispersing,
size reduction, heating, cooling, pasteurizing, deaerating
and emulsifying. The processing of liquid and
solid ingredients can be done as well as incorporation
of particles. Furthermore products can be processed
hot as well as cold.
The base components of the process system are a
tilted, vacuum tight mixing vessel with integrated
mixing arm and an external homogenizer (rotor-stator).
The specific geometry of the vessel and the mixing arm
allow for effective and gentle mixing of the ingredients
at the same time. The external homogenizer is used for
emulsification and size reduction. A pump connected at
the lowest point of the vessel circulates the product
through the homogenizer and back into the vessel.
The homogenizer, a rotor-stator-system, can be used
for a wide range of applications.
Beside homogenizing liquids it can be used for
dispersing powders into liquids. When emulsification
and homogenization is finished particles can be added
into the vessel. They are blended gently with the liquid
by the mixing arm. The product can be heated up either
by direct steam or indirect through the double jacket of
the system. The recirculation pump can be operated as
a discharge pump as well. An integrated vacuum
system completes the system. It consists of a vacuum
pump and a control unit. The ingredients can be fed into
the system either by under pressure or by special
metering systems.
The Vacutherm System can be operated manually as
well as automatically. Beside machine operation, recipe
management and process flow data are included in the
automation system. Parameters such as metering,
mixing, emulsifying and homogenizing times,
temperature curves, vacuum level as well as discharge
times are controlled and regulated. |
