When people think about the ingredients that go into their favorite recipes, they often don’t consider the ingredients that must go into the ingredients that they buy.  What arrives on the store shelves often had to go through its own production process before it was ready for consumer use.  Static mixers play a big role in the production of many different foods and beverages.  These are the five most used functions.

1. Starch Cooking – In the production of starches, nothing beats the highly successful and sanitary Komax Direct Steam Heater. It improves the heating of liquids and the cooking process for heavy and viscous slurries.  As opposed to direct steam cookers, the mixing technology produces a uniform heat flow.  There are no moving parts, so they work efficiently with low pressure.    The performance of our products speaks for itself.
2. Tank Heating – The direct injection steam tank heater can inject steam right into the tank used for the heating of water. It’s quiet and free of vibrations and is capable of keeping solids or particulates in suspension indefinitely.  Not only does it provide uniformity in its distribution of particles but also in temperature as well.
3. Sanitary Service Mixing – In-line motionless static mixers can take several input streams and create a uniformly blended product as its output. Solid materials like margarine and tomato pastes can be created so can “lighter” fluids such as soft drinks or syrups.
4. Beverage Mixing – In-line motionless static mixers can also be used for beverages such as beer, wine, water, juices, and soft drinks. They assist in the dissolution of carbon dioxide into carbonated beverages, homogenizing and diluting drink content, and mixing beverage flavorings.

Carbonation – The static CO₂ mixer comes with an option gas injector and is specially made for the carbonation process.  It’s capable of creating billions of gas bubbles and dispersing them throughout the flow of the liquid.
