STOCK CUBES PRODUCTION

KB3PC01300DD-CS

The Challenge

For a new plant producing stock cubes, we were approached to supply a 1,300-litre batch 316L stainless steel paddle mixer/cooler.

Receiving hot materials prepared and homogenised by an MC² mixer on the upper floor, the unit is tasked with cooling the compound (composed primarily of molten fats and salts) to transition it from a liquid state into a paste, ready for rolling, cutting, and retail packaging.

The primary objective for this mixer/cooler is to drastically reduce cooling cycle times while preserving the excellent homogenisation achieved upstream.

The MC² Solution

Mixer model: KB3PC01300DD-CS batch mixer
Material of construction: all parts built in high thickness 316L stainless steel
Maximum working capacity: 1,425 litres
Solid 316L stainless steel rotor shaft, with air-purged seals
Mixing tools: blades and scrapers made of 316L stainless steel directly welded to the shaft
2 off. flanged round inlets
1 off. flanged round vent port
1 off. flanged, round discharge outlet, with flush-fit trapdoor, with electropneumatic actuation
3 off. inspection doors with interlocks
Finishing of all parts in contact with product: satin polishing to a Ra ≤0.8μm
Temperature jacket for use with water/diathermal oil in 304L stainless steel, complete with PT100 temperature probe and full drum insulation
Direct drive, in right-angle layout, directly flanged to end plate, complete with a 11 kW electric motor at low rpm and forced ventilation

Key Benefits

Uniform cooling of mixes in a short time
High mix quality achieved upstream guaranteed
Guaranteed reliability and repeatability of lots
Quick and easy cleaning operations
Excellent return on investment
