Next generation in mixing and heating technology

26 March 2018

AxFlow is launching APV’s new Cavitator for heating and mixing liquids using the forces of cavitation in a controlled manner.

When cavitation bubbles collapse they produce powerful shockwaves that can cut the process material into microscopic sizes. This increases the surface contact area between the liquids, gases and/or solids being mixed and maximises the efficiency of the procedure for processes such as hydration, emulsification and gas/liquid mixing.

This technique, pioneered in the chemical and petrochemical industries, can heat liquids in seconds without the need for high temperature metal surfaces, thereby eliminating scaling of equipment and scorching of product. The mixing characteristics are virtually shear-free making the Cavitator suitable for use with sensitive products.

AxFlow is the distributor of APV food industry components in the UK.
