CASE NO: 150
| OBJECT: |
Disperse 40% pectin gum in water. Pectin is used in preserves to help congeal the fruit mixture. |

PROBLEM: |
Disperse gum quickly without agglomerating (lumping) which requires excess mixing time to "delump" or deagglomerate. |
|
RESULT: |
Quick (less than one hour) dispersion. |
|
AB MIXER: |
C-3-2 mixer, 42" immersion mixer in 150 gallon tank with an air deflector to prevent gum powders from blowing. |
|
EQUIPMENT REPLACED: |
Propeller mixer. |
