GEA DICON® technology for dairy applications
GEA DICON® Continuous In-line Blenders for Dairy
GEA DICON® in-line blending equipment for dairy applications is well recognized by the industry as a great go-to technology for blending yogurt and fruit, or for the standardization of milk-based products. Our technology is designed to consistently and accurately blend liquid media in the right ratios, in-line, in the pipe.
Blending and standardization in the dairy industry
GEA DICON®-Y
The continuous in-line blending system is our design for yoghurt and fruit mixtures.
Features
- Gentle product processing
- Versatile processing for products of up to 1.000.000 CP
- Mixed products homogeneously in the pipeline means no mixing tanks are required
- Precise metering devices help to ensure accurate blending
- Digital controller completely compensates for deviations
- Small product quantities only are included in the system, enabling fast availability
- Compact, workshop-tested system
The GEA DICON®-Y system features a dynamic mixer to help ensure that ingredients added to the main stream in only small quantities are completely mixed. The dynamic mixer technology also lowers the risk of system blockage from coarse particles. Rotary piston pumps, working at a low flow rate, further help to prevent crushing, and maintain gentle blending of sensitive ingredients. The pumps are frequency controlled, so modulating valves aren’t necessary. And digital regulators keep the ratios of blended ingredients constant, even when throughput fluctuates.
