NEO MAKİNA ve MÜHENDİSLİK A.Ş. designs and manufactures industrial mixing and homogenisation systems for stable, homogeneous products in liquid, paste, suspension and emulsion processes. Agitated process tanks, high-shear homogenisers, vacuum emulsifying units, inline mixers and high-pressure homogenisers are installed turnkey with recipe-based automation in food, chemical, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, paint and lubricant plants. For dry powder and granule mixers see Industrial Mixers.
Mixing vs. Homogenisation
Mixing distributes components on a macro scale (dissolving, suspension, heat transfer). Homogenisation reduces droplets or particles below the micron level under high shear to obtain a stable, non-separating structure (emulsion, dispersion). The two technologies are combined according to the process target.
System Solutions
Agitated Process Tanks
- Agitator types: Propeller and turbine (low viscosity, dissolving and suspension), anchor and scraper (high viscosity, heat transfer), helical ribbon (very high viscosity), magnetically driven (aseptic).
- Tank equipment: Jacketed (steam, hot water, cooling water, glycol), insulated, load-cell mounted; CIP spray balls and hygienic connections.
- Volume: 100 – 50,000 L; AISI 304/316L; EHEDG/3-A hygienic design or industrial carbon steel.
High-Shear Homogenisers
- Rotor-stator: 3,000–10,000 rpm rotor, 20–40 m/s tip speed; powder-liquid dispersion, emulsification, gel and stabiliser dissolving.
- Top-entry (batch) or inline: Lump-free dissolving in the batch tank; continuous homogenisation in recirculation and powder induction with inline units.
- Applications: Mayonnaise and sauces, juice concentrate, dairy, cosmetic creams, shampoo, paints and pigments, bitumen emulsion, lubricant additives.
Vacuum Emulsifying and Homogenising Units
- Jacketed vacuum vessel, anchor agitator with scrapers, bottom or top rotor-stator homogeniser, water- and oil-phase preparation tanks.
- Bubble-free, glossy, stable emulsions under vacuum; mayonnaise, creams, ointments, lotions, toothpaste.
- Capacity 50 – 10,000 L; recipe-controlled temperature-vacuum-speed profile.
High-Pressure Homogenisers
- Piston pump and homogenising valve at 150–1,500 bar; fat globules reduced below 1 micron.
- Milk and beverages, plant-based milks, juices and purées, ketchup, pharmaceutical suspensions, nano-emulsions; single or two-stage.
Static and Dynamic Inline Mixers
- Static mixers for continuous mixing without moving parts (dosing, neutralisation, dilution); dynamic inline mixers for precise ratio control and continuous production.
Engineering Approach
- Process analysis: Agitator type, power and speed calculated from viscosity, density difference, particle size, target droplet size, heat transfer and cycle time (Reynolds number, power number, tip speed).
- Materials and hygiene: AISI 316L, electropolishing, dead-zone-free welds, EHEDG/3-A compliant seals; CIP/SIP programmes.
- Automation: Recipe management, temperature-speed-vacuum-time profiles, load-cell dosing, batch reporting and traceability; variable-speed drives.
- Safety: ATEX-compliant versions (solvent-based products), PED conformity for pressure vessels.
Typical Application Range
- Volume: 50 – 50,000 L (batch); 0.5 – 50 m³/h on continuous lines
- Viscosity: 1 – 500,000 mPa·s (by agitator type)
- Sectors: food and beverage (sauces, dairy, juice, chocolate), cosmetics and personal care, pharma, chemicals and detergents, paints and coatings, lubricant blending, bitumen emulsion
- Standards: CE Machinery Directive, EHEDG / 3-A hygienic design, PED 2014/68/EU, ATEX 2014/34/EU, GMP
Why NEO MAKİNA?
Mixing and homogenisation systems are engineered together with the process line as part of the ketchup-sauce, fruit juice, lubricant blending and chemical plants we build. Pilot trials with your sample, scale-up calculation and recipe trials are provided at proposal stage; installation, commissioning and operator training are included.
Frequently Asked Questions
Rotor-stator or high-pressure homogeniser?
Rotor-stator is sufficient for 5–20 micron droplets and high viscosity; stable sub-micron emulsions (milk, beverages, nano-emulsions) need a high-pressure homogeniser.
Why is vacuum needed?
Vacuum prevents air entrainment; oxidation, foam and microbial risk fall, the product is glossy and dense, and filling volumes are accurate.
Can a homogeniser be added to my existing tank?
Yes. An inline rotor-stator unit under the tank or in the recirculation loop gives the existing process tank homogenising capability.
