The system generates low heat, thus minimizing degradation to heat-sensitive products
Gold Coast Ingredients, a flavor manufacturer in Commerce, Cal., installed a Quadro Comil conical screen mill in May, 2000, to boost throughput and reduce maintenance in standardizing particle size of heat-sensitive powdered flavors.
The company produces a wide variety of flavor blends including fruit, savory and butter flavors in battered, liquid, and spray-dried forms. According to President Jim Sgro, the Comil delumps and sifts powdered flavors to desired uniform particle size and bulk density at faster speeds and less wear than his previous sifter. The Comil's conical screen, configured "like a V-shaped collander" and enclosing a V-shaped impeller, is designed for heavier duty and is more durable as compared to the classifier sifter. "There's less chance of the screen tearing," says Sgro. It's design also allows more convenient cleaning, he ads.
