The University of Wisconsin-Madison Babcock Hall Dairy Plant uses a hands-on approach to research and teach cutting-edge dairy science techniques to its food science students.
Able to handle liquid and powder mixing, gas dispersion and tank cleaning-in-place applications, the Alfa Laval rotary jet mixer can be used in tanks between 100 and 800,000L in size.
Featuring a 2-wing anchor, gate agitator and high-speed disperser, the Ross VersaMix Model VMC-1000 multi-shaft mixer has a 1,000-gal. working capacity.
Designed for the heavy-duty mixing of viscous pastes and highly filled dispersions, the Ross Model PDM-200 PowerMix planetary disperser has a working capacity of 200 gal.
Used in conjunction with Ross planetary mixers and multi-shaft mixers, the Ross discharge system with electronic pressure control includes a platen that is lowered hydraulically into the mix vessel.
