Mixing is a vital process in the production of diverse products in a wide range of industries. GEA Liquid Processing can offer the right mixing solutions for specific customer needs based on our experience and know-how - both of the technology and the industries we work with.
The process of mixing deals with keeping a mixed product homogenous. Often one of the most important aspects of mixing is to avoid ‘fish eyes’ - the clumps of powder that can be produced in a liquid through improper mixing. Mixing is an integral part of various industries such as:
- Food and beverage industries
- Dairy industry
- Personal care and biotech industries
- Pharmaceutical industry

- Beverages like juice and carbonated water for the production of soft drinks

Effective mixing ensures that products are both of the highest and most consistent quality and that they are produced cost-efficiently. In mixing, it is important to have the correct knowledge of the materials and processes in use, such as the material's ability to mix with another (solubility index) as well as its wetting ability. To ensure immediate wetting and consequently eliminate the production of ‘fish eyes’, it is often a good idea to introduce the powder below the surface of the liquid.
