YTRON-Y
YTRON-QUADRO ( UK )
Ensuring a homogeneous mix throughout the whole batch
Ytron-Quadro ( UK ) Ltd have recently supplied 3 very large YTRON-Y directed jet mixers to Yeo Valley Farms Production . These 55 kW mixers are installed in 45,000 litre and 100,000 litre vessels in the Crewkerne facility containing a highly viscous yogurt base .
The YTRON-Y units were part of the new facility completed by the Somerset based engineering company , Sycamore Process Engineering .
The YTRON-Y mixers ensure a homogeneous mix throughout the whole batch . Computational Fluid Dynamics ( CFD ) simulations were created to ensure the size , design and installation position of the YTRON-Y mixers were optimised for efficient and effective mixing .
Due to the size of the mixers , a special design has been used to allow maintenance of seals without the need to remove the large / heavy motor .
Yeo Valley Farms Production have been using YTRON equipment in their factories in Blagdon , Cannington and Newton Abbott for mixing , dispersing and for “ smoothing ” of certain of their yogurts since the 1990 ’ s . This has included YTRON-Y units and the YTRON-Z in line rotor / stator homogeniser for various uniform mixing applications including mixing of fruit into yogurt as recently shown on the BBC program “ Inside the Factory ”
