Proven and precise technology at its best The approved “Standard Production Plant” SPP is the IKA® solution for the processing of emulsions and suspensions in many fields of application. It is available in 8 sizes ranging from 25 to 4,000 liters capacity. The SPP is an innovative and highly advanced, yet cost-efficient mixing plant used for all standard process operations...

SPP | Components Vessel cover The IKA® Standard Production Plant is a highly modern but costefficient mixing plant for all basic operations requiring mixing and dispersing technology. The Standard Production Plant is available with tilting ­ evices for the vessel cover. d The smaller plant sizes up to SPP 250 are manually operated. For the bigger sizes an electrical spindle drive serves for the easy and comfortable opening of the cover. IKA® Standard Production Plant is available in 8 sizes with volumes ranging from 25 litres up to 4,000 litres. Funnel for incorporation of solid and liquid ingredients...

SPP | Components Perfection in detail: Mixing plant in an economical and flexible design Inspection Two sight glasses in the vessel cover and a light make it possible to illuminate the vessel and observe the process inside. CIP-cleaning Three spray nozzles in the vessel lid ensure a thorough cleaning without dead spots or shadow areas. Sufficient pressure and outstanding throughput to feed the spray nozzles is supplied by the dispersing machine DBI. There is no need for an additional CIP-pump. Scrapers The highly advanced design keeps the vessel inner surface free from scaling and ensures the...

Inline Disperser ULTRA TURRAX UTL 1000 Pumping, Suction, Mixing, Dispersing, Cleaning Patented pump and dispersion unit Direct Batch Inline The DBI 2000 is the heart of the Standard Production Plant. Its innovative technical design enables better process data and reduced processing times at optimum dispersing quality in a wide viscosity range. The high shear mixing and dispersing machine DBI 2000 is designed for the batch operation with a recirculating loop. It is directly flange connected to the vessel outlet with a big cross section and pumps the product back into the vessel. The DBI 2000 enables...

SPP | Accessories Customization IKA plants and accessories are adapted to your requirements Optional dosing funnels Various dosing funnels are available in different forms and sizes. They enable separate feeding of solid and liquid additives directly into the dispersing chamber for easy wetting of difficult ingredients. Due to its high flow rate the DBI 2000 creates a vacuum which sucks in the funnel content. For difficult conditions the function can be boosted with additional vacuum in the vessel. This advanced feeding method prevents floating of powders on the liquid surface and eliminates...

SPP | Control system Electronic control unit The electronic control unit is designed to meet customer requirements. It can be a version with the simple on/ off button or another version, up to the most advanced PLC-Version with full visualization and touch screen. Manual operation or the full automatic program are the choices for operating the machine. Typical control functions are as follows: > Display of all set and acutal values > Setting and monitoring of limit values > Recipe management system > Process data storage and display (trend indicator) > Safety interlocks Manage and save your recipes...

SPP | Products & Industries Food Typical applications for the Standard ­Production Plant This SPP mixing plant can be used for the production of solutions, emulsions and suspensions in many applications. Due to its advanced design it can handle products that range from low viscosity up to pasty condition. Depending on its execution the IKA® Standard Production Plant can be e. g. used for the manufacturing of cosmetic cream and lotions, for mayonnaise or dressings in the food industry as well as for suspensions and emulsions in the chemical industry or for production of paints and lacquers. Based...

Application example | Mayonnaise production Typical applications for the Standard ­Production Plant Sauces to suit every taste – based on this concept, IKA® application engineers have developed a versatile processing system for the production of a range of different sauces, such as mayonnaise or ketchup. Mayonnaise is a popular condiment that consists of oil, water and egg yolk. Different countries have various recipe requirements for the designation of a product such as mayonnaise. In the EU member states, mayonnaise must have a total fat content of at least 70 % and an egg yolk content of at...

IKA® Scale-up Scale-up Simplified scale-up by identical dispersing parameters for all sizes Develop – Optimize – Scale-up from laboratory to production scale When new products are developed the processes are initially tested in pilot plants. Trials in small scale are also used for changes in recipes or ingredients. For reliable scale-up to production sizes, pilot plants with ­ a capacity of 25 l (SPP 25) or 50 l (SPP 50) are the ideal choice. The use of the same plant design and dispersion principle ensures identical operation and provides an easy scale-up. Every size of the SPP produces the...
