Plant

Smoothies are a blended form of beverage which are a typical semiliquid, with smooth consistency, containing fruit(s)/vegetable(s), concentrated juice, and other complementing ingredients such as yogurt, milk, or honey, and are prepared with different combinations of fruits and vegetables. It can be prepared by integrating green leafy vegetables, such as lettuce, kale, collard greens, and spinach.

Market Size of Smoothies Manufacturing

The global smoothies market size reached US$ 15.7 Billion in 2022. Worldwide, consumers are increasing their intake of vitamins, proteins, and active digestive health ingredients, such as prebiotics and probiotics, and are consuming more functional foods and drinks. This trend is leading to a growing market of Read-to-Drink packed Smoothies.

Ingredients used in Smoothies Manufacturing

  • Fruit Pulp

  • Milk/Yoghurt/Milk Solids

  • Sugar

  • Pectin

  • Acidity Regulator

  • Preservative

High Shear & High Viscosity Mixing Technology
for Smoothies Manufacturing

High-shear mixers or high-shear homogenizers are used to produce standard mixtures of ingredients that do not naturally mix. This industrial machinery disperses, or transports, one phase or ingredient (liquid, solid, gas) into a main continuous phase (liquid), with which it would normally be immiscible. A rotor, together with a stationary component known as a stator, or an array of rotors and stators, is used in a mixing tank containing the solution to be mixed, and in a pipe through which the solution passes, to create shear. A high-shear homogenizer mixer is used to create emulsions, suspensions, lyosols (gas dispersed in liquid), and granular products. It is used in the food, pharmaceutical, adhesives, chemical, cosmetic, and plastics industries for emulsification, homogenization, particle size reduction, and dispersion.

Key design factors in the high shear mixers include the diameter of the rotor and its rotational speed, the distance between the rotor and the stator. 

Smoothies Manufacturing Plant

United Group's Smoothies Manufacturing Plant uses the high shear and high viscosity mixing technology for production of nut butters with a smooth, creamy texture and consistency.

​

​

United Group's Smoothies Manufacturing Plant incorporates various equipments as per different capacities. A typical smoothies plant that manufactures 250kg of material in 30 minutes, following technology is used:

​​

  1. Pulper

  2. Mixing Vessel

  3. Agitator

  4. Bottom Entry Mixer

  5. Inline Homogenizer Mixer

  6. Storage Tanks

  7. Control Panel

  8. Additional pipelines and vessels

In large scale smoothies production of more than 500kg in 30 minutes, the capabilities of a standard smoothies plant need to be advanced with the use of intensely robust and highly efficient High-Shear Multi Mill. The Multi-Mill increases the plant's efficiency to process high viscosity products at a high speed. 
 

Advantages of Multi-Mill for Smoothies Production:

  • Can Process Capacity 1 Tonne/Hour to 20 Tonnes/Hour

  • The same machinery can be used for multiple applications, simply by changing the workheads

  • 100% Efficiency, ensuring no bypass of product through the homogenization process

  • The material used for making is SS-304

  • 20-40 HP Third-Party Motor

  • Easy to Clean and Maintain
