Flavor Extraction

    The advantages ofthe MixMill process

    The Processall Prestovac® Reactor is suitable for slurrying a leafy or fibrous product into a solvent to aid in removing all the flavors with minimum losses. With the Prestovac, the extraction takes place under pressure to help release all the flavors to the solvent.
    Subsequently, the vapors are condensed and the slurry is either filtered in the Filt-A-Dry or pressed with a screw press. The slurrying process can be repeated to assure that all the flavors are captured. The final filter cake can then be vacuum dried to recover all the solvent prior to disposal.

    The benefits of the Processall solvent extractions system:

    • Better flavor yield due to enhanced mixing
      and chopping.
    • Extraction is carried out under pressure to
      drive flavors out of the fibrous structure of the
      bean or root.
    • Multi-processing in one vessel, avoiding flavor
      losses and expensive material transfer.
    • Safer system with the self-contained vessel,
      avoiding environmental exposure to solvents.
    • The resulting filter cake can then be dried in the
      same vessel by removing and recovering the
      solvents. This will save disposal cost and allow
      reuse of the solvent.

    The Continuous Vacuum Dryer/Reactor is a horizontal mixing device with central shaft equipped with mixing elements perpendicular to the shaft. Multi-mixing elements in conjunction with adjustable weirs are provided to introduce the product through different processing zones for thermal treatment or conducting chemical reactions. The device incorporates a heating or cooling jacket.

    Mixing of Solids, Liquids & Fibrous Materials

    Features:

    • Plow/Mill or mixing elements provides thorough blending    of materials and lower energy consumption since the cycle
    times are considerably shorter.

    • The mill shaft is equipped with special blades to aid the
    opening of fibers and the dispersing of solids and resins.
    They also minimize the formation of lumps.

    • The mill shaft assembly is designed so it can be easily
    maintained or replaced without changing the entire
    electric motor.

    • Shaft seals for the main and mill shaft can be standard
    stuffing box, air seals, or double face mechanical seals for
    long life and low maintenance.

    • Liquid injectors are integral to the vessel and mounted
    over the mill/disperser for maximum efficiency when
    blending wet mixes.

    • Mixing vessel can be jacketed for heating or cooling
    to control product temperature. They can also be used in
    conjunction with solvent recovery systems.

    • All mixing elements, seals, and gasketing materials are
    easily replaced.

    • Local or remote mounted controls and microprocessors
    can be supplied for the complete automation
    of the process.
