Vacuum Mixing and Chopping Unit
A vacuum chopping and mixing unit for dense formulations, emulsions, pastes, and temperature-controlled recipe trials.
Up to 5 L batch volume with variable blade speed from 0-3000 rpm and vacuum down to approximately -0.93 bar.
Equipment Role
The multifunctional vacuum chopper mixer supports R&D work where air removal, particle breakdown, emulsification, heat transfer, and wall scraping affect final product quality. It is useful for sauces, dairy bases, pastes, dressings, and high-solids formulations.
Vacuum down to approximately -0.93 bar helps reduce air incorporation and improve texture.
Variable speed up to 3000 rpm supports particle reduction and emulsification.
Cold and hot water jacket supports -5 C to 100 C process operation.
Configuration Notes
Strong equipment selection starts with product behavior, utility limits, cleaning expectations, and the measurements required for scale-up.
Blade speed, time, temperature, and vacuum level should be recorded for recipe transfer.
Vacuum level and filling sequence affect bubbles, density, color, and oxidation.
Scraper geometry, blade removal, and jacketed vessel design affect turnaround time.
