Plant Milk Homogenizer 50 L

€0.00

This compact plant milk production unit is designed for the hydrodynamic extraction and homogenization of plant-based raw materials, including legumes, grains, nuts and seeds. It combines the processing principle of our MH 150 plant milk production equipment with the practical design of our Z-series food processing platform. The working vessel features a powerful homogenizer mounted directly underneath and a tilting design for convenient product discharge.

Efficient extraction and homogenization of plant-based raw materials
Bottom-mounted high-power homogenizer
Hydrodynamic mixing and particle size reduction
Optional direct steam injection for intensive heating
Tilting vessel for convenient product discharge
Mobile stainless steel supporting frame

The 50 L Plant Milk Homogenizer with Tilting Vessel is designed for small-batch production of plant-based beverages and plant-derived suspensions. It combines the processing principle of our existing Veggie Milk MH 150 plant milk machine with a more compact construction based on our Z-series design. The working vessel is mounted on a mobile stainless steel frame and can be tilted for convenient product discharge, while the compact design makes the unit easy to position within the production area.

The unit uses a high-speed bottom-mounted homogenizer to grind, disperse and homogenize raw materials in a liquid medium. Combined with hydrodynamic mixing, heating and optional direct steam injection, the processing conditions promote the extraction of soluble and suspended components from prepared legumes, grains, nuts and seeds.

The vessel is mounted on a mobile supporting frame and can be tilted and secured in 13 different positions to facilitate gravity-assisted mixing, or tilted further to enable convenient discharge of the processed product. This configuration is suitable for pilot production, product development and smaller production batches, where compact equipment and convenient handling help reduce manual work.

The basic plant milk production unit is supplied without a steam generator. A suitable steam supply can be added according to the required processing conditions and machine configuration.

Applications

The plant milk homogenizer can be used to prepare plant bases for beverages and other plant-based products made from a variety of raw materials, including:

Soy milk
Almond milk
Oat milk
Rice milk
Spelt milk
Cashew milk
Coconut milk
Sunflower seed milk
Pecan and macadamia nut milk
Other plant-based suspensions from suitable grains, legumes, nuts and seeds

The equipment can also be used in soybean processing as part of the preparation of plant-based ingredients for tofu and other vegan products. The appropriate processing conditions depend on the raw material, recipe and desired characteristics of the final product.

How the plant milk homogenizer works

Prepared raw materials are processed in a liquid medium inside the working vessel. The bottom-mounted homogenizer generates intensive mechanical action that breaks down particles and promotes dispersion throughout the mixture. Hydrodynamic circulation helps move the product through the processing zone, as the combined effects of mechanical action, circulation, heating and the overall processing conditions facilitate the extraction of plant components.

Direct steam injection can be used to heat the product rapidly and intensively. Introducing steam directly into the product improves heat transfer and can contribute to partial pasteurization, depending on the temperature and processing time achieved. A steam generator is available as an optional component.

The combination of mechanical processing, circulation and heating helps produce a more uniform plant base. The required processing time and final particle size depend on the raw material, its preparation, the selected operating conditions and the machine configuration.

After processing, the vessel can be tilted by up to 110° to facilitate quick and convenient product discharge, minimizing the amount of material remaining inside the tank.

Advantages

Compact Z-series-inspired construction: The working vessel is mounted on a mobile stainless steel frame, providing a compact setup for smaller production areas and allowing convenient handling and unloading.
Powerful bottom homogenizer: Installed directly below the working vessel, the homogenizer provides intensive mechanical processing to support the grinding, dispersion, homogenization and emulsification of plant-based mixtures.
Intensive product heating: Optional direct steam injection provides rapid heat transfer inside the vessel, with the steam supply configured according to production requirements.
Versatile raw material processing: The machine processes prepared legumes, grains, nuts and seeds for plant-based beverages and other applications, with processing parameters adapted to the raw material and recipe.
Convenient product discharge: The tilting working vessel makes it easier to empty the processed batch, making the unit practical for small-scale production and product trials.
Designed for hygienic operation: Stainless steel product-contact components and a cleaning process based on circulating water and cleaning solution help facilitate cleaning, subject to the final cleaning configuration.
Mechanical seal cooling: The homogenizer shaft seal is equipped with a cooling system to support reliable operation, particularly when processing small batches or when product cooling is limited.

Basic configuration

The basic unit comprises a working vessel mounted on a mobile supporting frame, a high-speed homogenizer installed beneath the vessel, an electric drive, a mechanical shaft seal with a cooling system, and an opening lid.

The homogenizer provides the mechanical action required for grinding and dispersing the raw materials. An external circulation circuit and direct steam injection system can be included according to the selected configuration.

The basic version does not include a steam generator. The required steam supply and related control equipment should be selected according to the intended process.

Optional equipment

The machine can be configured with additional equipment to suit the raw material, recipe and production process:

Steam generator for direct steam heating of the product
Steam control system for regulating the steam supply
PLC-based control system for more advanced process control
Time relay for timed operation
Water meter for measuring water added to the process
Alternative motor configuration according to the required processing performance
Additional frame and mobility options, subject to the final machine configuration

The homogenizer can be specified with a single or double mechanical shaft seal. The double-seal version provides an additional sealing stage and may be appropriate for applications requiring increased protection against product leakage or more demanding operating conditions.

Additional equipment for plant milk production

The homogenizer can be integrated into a wider plant milk processing setup with suitable upstream and downstream equipment, depending on the required product and production capacity:

Vacuum soaking equipment for water saturation and soaking of beans, grains and nuts
Feeding equipment for loading prepared raw materials
Separator or centrifuge for separating the liquid plant base from solid residues, where required by the process
Okara press for further dewatering of soybean pulp
Steam purification filter for applications requiring steam purification
Pasteurizer for a separate downstream pasteurization stage, where required

The required equipment configuration depends on the raw material, desired product consistency and whether the process requires separation, further heat treatment or other additional processing.
