Dinnissen introduces 5-in-1 Pegasus^® Mixer
 

Press release 
 
  
  
     
Dinnisen Process Technology has launched the 5-in-1 Pegasus Mixer, which is able to carry out mixing, vacuum coating, drying, germinating and acidifying, allowing companies to realise savings in production space and equipment needed.

A total of 18 different liquids, including oils, enzymes and vitamins, can be introduced into the mixing chamber in the form of a fine spray, thus each particle of product is coated with a very fine layer of liquid without any of the raw ingredients clumping or sticking to each other. The built-in vacuum functionality makes it possible to ensure that the added liquid ingredients are quickly and effectively absorbed deep into the particles and even allows several coatings.

The vacuum also reduces boiling point, allowing the removal of moisture from products at low temperatures without negatively affecting essential product characteristics such as taste and colour or the functional activity of ingredients such as vitamins and enzymes. The special heat treatment with steam kills any microorganisms present during the mixing process.

Additional benefits include energy savings and the ability to quickly clean production lines and switch from one product to another.
