Committed To Quality, Committed To You
Fructose is a major ingredient in the food and beverage industry due to its sweetness and versatility, which requires careful screening and filtration to maintain its quality and consistency. Galaxy Sivtek, one of the leading sieving and filtration technologies, offers ultimate solutions for the fructose industry by providing advanced solutions that are specially designed to meet stringent requirements of refining fructose with improved purity levels as well as better production efficiency. In this article, we will showcase the detailed stages of the fructose screening and filtration process, highlighting the critical role of Galaxy Sivtek’s innovative equipment in achieving superior results.
The most common source of fructose is corn or other starch-containing sources, and its production involves several key stages:
1. Starch Extraction: Production begins with starch extraction from corn or other raw materials. From there, the starch is mixed with water to create a slurry.
2. Liquefaction: The starch slurry is heated and mixed with enzymes to break down the starch into shorter chains of glucose.
3. Saccharification: In this phase, extra enzymes are added to convert glucose chains into fructose. The resulting mixture contains both glucose and fructose.
4. Purification and Filtration: The liquid fructose is again purified and filtered to eliminate any contaminants or unnecessary components. Self-cleaning filters play a vital role in this scenario as they ensure the removal of any contaminants maintaining the continuous flow of production.
5. Evaporation and Crystallization: This liquid solution is then concentrated through evaporation, followed by crystallization to form fructose crystals.
6. Drying and Milling: The fructose crystal is then dried and milled to a fine powder form. This powder will probably need additional screening to achieve the desired particle size uniformity.
7. Screening and Grading: The final fructose powder is subjected to grading and check screening to ensure consistency, quality, and purity.
Ensuring the highest grade of fructose, whether in a liquid or powder state, Galaxy Sivtek delivers an innovative solution for the screening & filtration process at every stage of production.
A completely non-contaminant environment is very crucial during this process of purification and filtration. The Galaxy Sivtek Self-Cleaning Filter is a great choice for filtration in liquid fructose. This fully automatic filter removes unwanted contaminants and impurities without disturbing the flow. It provides uninterrupted flow and reduces operational maintenance substantially. All foreign particles, such as debris, fibres, and larger starch granules, which may affect the quality of the final product, are generally removed very effectively by this solution. This self-cleaning filter helps in keeping the production line clean and efficient. The purity of liquid fructose is maintained, hence reducing downtimes and improving overall productivity.
The Inline Dual Sivtek plays a vital role in removing any foreign contaminants and unwanted particles just before the packaging process in their production line for fructose. It is often the final checkpoint that helps maintain the stability and purity of fructose powder. This stage is crucial to prevent contaminants such as insects and other foreign materials from entering the final product.
The Sivtek Super Gyro Separator plays a major role in the granulation of powdered fructose. The advanced separator, responsible for multiple-screen analysis and grading, ensures the fructose powder is separated by particle size. The Super Gyro Separator provides accurate particle classification due to multi-plane inertial vibration, which reduces agglomeration and results in consistent product quality. This separator will help to keep the fructose powder desirable in texture and flow properties, which is an essential need for fructose powder since it is applied in various food and beverage products.
The purity, consistency, and safety of high-quality fructose demand careful screening and filtration. At Galaxy Sivtek, innovative sieving and filtration solutions help you progress with better production efficiency, least contamination, and meeting the industry’s quality standards. Our advanced equipment ensures your fructose products are always of the desirable consistency to keep you competitive in the market.
