Microlab 400: the industrial homogenizer that revolutionizes ice cream production

signed to fit perfectly even in small laboratories, the standalone homogenizer is essential for ensuring the success of the final product, guaranteeing high-level performance in limited spaces.

Microlab 400: the industrial homogenizer that revolutionizes ice cream production. The mixture is drawn in by the pumping pistons and sent at high pressure to the homogenizing valve; on exit, the product undergoes micronization from sudden acceleration (~9,300 cm/sec), violent cavitation, and inter-particle friction, achieving fat globules under 3.5 μm. This micronization strips the fat globules of their surface coating, first stabilizing the water-oil phase and then giving the ice cream an even softer texture.

The positive effects are numerous and noticeable to the palate: more flavor and creaminess with the same ingredients, less cold sensation, higher overrun, better stability in storage and melting, and greater digestibility.

Homogenisers for ice cream shops, in the production of "industrial ice cream", play a fundamental role in ensuring the success of the final product. However, until now, the use of this machinery in artisanal ice cream shops has often been problematic due to issues related to costs, size, complexity of use, and lack of an optimal study of its performance. We at FBF Italia have tackled these challenges, developing a performing and quality homogeniser for ice cream shops, capable of meeting your customised needs.

Technical Data

Ice cream homogenizers, in the production of "industrial ice cream", play a fundamental role in ensuring the success of the final product. However, until now, using this machinery in artisan ice cream parlours has often been challenging due to issues related to costs, size, complexity of use, and a lack of optimal performance study.

At FBF Italia, we have tackled these challenges, developing a high-performing and quality ice cream homogenizer, able to meet your customised needs.

The mixture is sucked by the pumping pistons of the industrial homogenizer and sent at high pressure to the homogenising valve. Upon exiting, the product undergoes micronisation of its components due to forces such as: sudden acceleration developing speeds of about 9,300 cm/sec, violent cavitation, and friction between the particles themselves. Our industrial machine for ice cream, Microlab 400, allows achieving fat globules with a size smaller than 3.5 um (0.0035 mm).

This micronisation strips the fat globules of their surface coating and increases their surface exposed to the work of emulsifiers, first stabilising the water-oil phase and then giving the ice cream an even softer texture and a dry sensation characteristic of good ice cream.

The mixture is aspirated by the pumping pistons of the industrial homogeniser and sent at high pressure to the homogenising valve. Exiting, the product undergoes micronization of its components due to forces such as: sudden acceleration with a speed development of about 9,300 cm/sec, violent cavitation, and friction between the particles themselves. Our industrial machine for ice cream, Microlab 400, allows obtaining fat globules with a size smaller than 3.5 pm (0.0035 mm).

This micronization strips the fat globules of their surface coating and increases their surface exposed to the work of emulsifiers, first stabilising the water-oil phase and then giving the ice cream an even softer texture and a dry sensation that characterises good ice cream.

The positive effects deriving from the use of an industrial food homogeniser in the ice cream sector are multiple and clearly perceptible to the palate: more flavour and creaminess with the same ingredients used, less sensation of cold, more overrun, better stability to preservation and melting, and greater digestibility.

  • Once the product in the pasteurizer reaches the temperature of 50℃ and the sugar has been fully solubilized, homogenizer starts recirculating the batch in a loop (5 times approx), to make sure the ice cream is fully homogenized
  • Recommended process time is calculated by the following formula:
    batch size in litre divided by 1.33 (i.e a batch of 30 litres will required 23 minutes of recirculation process)
  • When the product in the first pasteurizer reaches the pasteurization temperature of 85-90C, then the homogenizer transfers the product into the second pasteurizer to accomplish the cooling duty

  • Food grade hose c/w fittings
