Alpro Equipments & Technologies

Other Details:
This mill is based on rotor stator principle and it is accessible at most affordable prices in plain and water jacketed (Std & GMP models).

Operation:
Product is feed to the operating ares of a rotor, having a speed of 3000 RPM by specially designed feed device.
The product is processed by high sheer, pressure and friction between the stator and rotor, the angular gap becomes narrower towards the discharges section.
This processed product continuously leaves the mill through the drain pipe, if required, it can be recirculate.

Salient Features:
All contact parts are made out of S.S. 304 (S.S. 316 on demand at extra cost). No castings are used to avoid contamination problems.
Coupling provided between motor shaft and rotor shaft for ease in maintenance.
Three leak proof neoprene sealing device between the motor and the processing chamber to prevent liquid going in the motor winding.
Modified design of semi concave teeth in rotor and stator reduces motor h.p. and gives better performance in size reduction without damaging the products.
Extended bearing housing specially designed to facilitate fine metal contact of rotor and stator. This unique design provides smooth and consistence all around performance and long life of rotor and stator.
Three way cock system for draining and recirculation of the liquids provided as standard. Extra discharge sprout provided as a standard for viscous products.
DOL starter with overload relay for protection against single phasing and low voltage.
Contact parts can be easily dismantled for cleaning.
Special design facilitates adjustments of the grinding gap by exterior screw by means of handle even during operation.
Flame proof motor and flame proof rotary switch can be provided on request at extra cost.

Other Details:

• This system consist of a closed circuit manufacturing facility from feeding of Sugar/Water Phase to loading the Volumetric Liquid Filling Machine.

The Facility Consists Of:

• Sugar Melting Vessel
• Syrup Manufacturing Vessel
• Storage Vessel
• Online sugar syrup prefilter(Basket Filter)
• Vacuum system for transfer to Manufacturing Vessel
• Filter press / Inline Homogeniser
• Inter Connecting pipeline 
• Control panels

Unique Features:

• The liquid oral manufacturing plant is designed to be operated by one operator and one helper, saving on precious man-power costs.
• Sugar syrup and manufacturing vessels are provided with limpet coils for heating and cooling, designed for internal vacuum to facilitate transfer of sugar directly from stores to sugar syrup vessel.
• Sugar syrup is transferred to manufacturing vessel through online sugar syrup prefilter by vacuum.
• Entry of all propeller agitators are from bottom through a specially designed cartridge mechanical seal with TC/TC seal face.
• The advantage of the bottom propeller agitator over the conventional agitator is that there are no vibrations of shaft, no couplings in the drive assembly, leading to lower maintenance cost for liquid oral manufacturing plant.
• Pipes, pipe fittings and valves are of SS 316, seamless, internally electropolished with DIN standard unions and silicon Gaskets.
• Manhole of all the vessels are equipped with davit fitting and the cover of the manhole slides instead of being lifted.

Process Control:

• Values like current, product temperature are displayed digitally on the electrical control panel.
• The mechanical seal is equipped with a water circulating system and has a water detection sensor which trips the motor, if the water circulation to the seal is interrupted.

Containers moving on S.S. Slat conveyor, feed below the filling nozzles through a settable twin pneumatically operated stopper system. The twin pneumatically operated stopper system and reciprocating nozzles can precisely match for centering of container below nozzles, to avoid spillage of liquid on container. To minimize foaming adjustable nozzle will reciprocate according to filling dose, nozzle will go upwards from bottom level of bottle towards neck during filling. “No container-No filling” system arrangement is standard features of the machine. The motor for filling is servo drive and conveyor drive is AC Motor with synchronized variable AC Frequency Drive. PLC Controller provided to set fill volume, speed of conveyor and set fill timing this means fill size can be easily set.

Description:

In inline agitation system, the possibility of materials: Liquid or Solid passing through it, without subjected to intense hydraulic and mechanical shear actions is zero.

Here suction pipe (inlet pipe) is centrally mounted & outlet is radially mounted, therefore it is physically impossible for any material to pass from inlet to outlet without exposed to agitation.

The stator which surrounds rotor is available with various type of opening i.e. round, square, rectangular & with perforation also so that all the critical demand of Mixing, Emulsifying, Disintegration & Dispersion of solids, suspension can be met out by same equipment.

The machine is versatile & has completely revolutionized the traditional mixing techniques.

Here close tolerance of rotor with the stator produces high hydraulic shearing & mechanical action that ensures that material entrapped between rotor & stator is subjected to tremendous shearing actions each minute.

The Cartridge assembly consists of plates, perforated screens, spacers and fitter media. Interlocking spacers internally form single pipeline. The unfiltered liquid is centrally fed under pressure from bottom inlet. The liquids spreads out equally on each plate fitted with filter media. Solids remain on filter media and clear. filtrate flows through precisely made holes on sides of plates and collects in the shell, which then comes out through the outlet. In this process, solids are evenly distributed on each plate. The cake is then cleaned from the filter material and used again for filtration process.

• Single pass filtration with no solid bypass 
• Full batch recovery, no separate scavenging system needed. 
• Proper sealing which allows the filtration of volatile, toxic and inflammable products.
