Dosing and mixing procedure for ingredients of liquid or paste products that are coloured, perfumed or flavoured uses recipes with weights converted to volumes and adjusted automatically for computer software

摘要

The procedure consists of converting a recipe with ingredients in weights to volumes, adjusting it automatically for computer software including theoretical and actual densities and concentrations, and delivering all the ingredients to a mixer through flow channels at an optimal rate and in precise volumes. This is followed by dynamic mixing of ingredients and automatic cleaning of the equipment with a pressurised rinsing liquid between one recipe and another. The procedure uses a micro-computer for calculating the ingredients and storing the recipes, servo-motors and precision volumetric pumps ensuring constant volumes and a repeatable operation.
