3 top tips for manufacturing THICK high viscosity food & beverage products
Whether you ’ re producing thick sauces , nut butters , chutneys or more , quality and consistency is paramount . To provide you with the best guidance , using insights gained from valued customers , we ’ ve enlisted the expertise of Dean Willis ( Adelphi Manufacturing ), who has over 30 years ’ industry experience .
1 . Invest in High-Quality Equipment :
Selecting the right equipment first time is crucial . Dean recommends investing in robust mixers , pumps and filling equipment which are proven to work with thick substances . Cheaper options are likely to be a false economy in the long run .
Ask potential suppliers for case studies of their equipment working with products like yours , or to demo their equipment using your product . Some suppliers will even take you to see the equipment in-action at another customers ’ site .
2 . Optimise Your Mixing Techniques :
Proper mixing is the key to achieving uniform viscosity and product quality . Inconsistent mixing could lead to quality compliance issues and negative customer experiences of your product .
Your mixing equipment supplier will be able to recommend the ideal type of mixing to best suit your product .
3 . Maintain Consistent Temperatures :
Viscosity is highly temperaturedependent , and thicker products often mix or fill better when heated . For example , jacketed mixing vessels use hot water flowing around the vessel ‘ jacket ’ to regulate temperatures during mixing . Ideally , finding one single supplier who can offer both mixing and filling equipment can ensure a smoother production process . For example , Adelphi ’ s Response Benchtop Filler can be supplied with a water jacketed hopper where the product waits to be filled .
By following these tips , you can streamline your food and beverage manufacturing processes , enhance product quality , and ensure the efficient production of thick , high-viscosity products . Count on Dean ’ s extensive experience and Adelphi Manufacturing ’ s range of solutions to support your manufacturing endeavours .
