Superior Pump Technologies (SPT) is bringing the Waukesha Cherry-Burrell (SPXFLOW) colloid mill to stand E234 at AUSPACK 2019.

The WCB colloid mill is capable of processing a wide range of product viscosities, according to SPT, with higher-viscosity fluids processed at lower flow rates to stay within pressure limits.

SPT claims that Waukesha colloid mills can provide up to 50 per cent more flow rate with less heat than competing products, and are easy to adjust and disassemble; they can also be adjusted during operation.

The mill’s sanitary design makes it suitable for a number of food and pharmaceutical products, says SPT. Applications include salad dressing; mayonnaise; homogenisation of liquid eggs; tomato-based sauces; and personal care products such as lotions and creams. Flow rates range from 1250 to 6250 litres per hour.

Trial and demonstration units will be available soon, and SPT keeps pumps and spare parts in stock for customer support; the company also designs and builds skids to suit customer requirements.
