Atec Alginator Stainless Alginator

Applications & Use Cases

• Producing smooth, lump-free alginate solutions for encapsulation or gelling processes.
• Mixing high-viscosity liquids and powders in food production.
• Creating emulsions and suspensions requiring high shear forces.
• Batch processing of sauces, dressings, and other liquid food products.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 50kg to 200kg, with this unit specified at 70kg.

Power supply

Electrically heated units of this type typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V or 415V.

Mixing mechanism

High shear mixers commonly employ impellers or rotor-stator systems for efficient blending and dispersion.

Temperature control

Units often feature digital temperature controls for precise heating and process management.

Construction material

Food processing equipment like this is typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Mobility

Many units are mounted on stainless mobile skids with castors for ease of relocation within a facility.

Control interface

Digital timers and temperature readouts are commonly found on units of this type for operational control.
