What causes clumping when adding powder? Design points for preventing and addressing poor dispersion.

Resolve issues of not dissolving and clumping in advance. Test the dispersibility of the protein.

The quality of protein products is greatly influenced by their dispersion state. In particular, powdered protein often faces challenges such as clumping during dissolution in water or solvents, uneven dispersion, and poor mouthfeel. Additionally, changes in formulation or raw materials can alter viscosity and dispersibility, leading to cases where there are no issues during prototyping but quality becomes unstable during mass production. This service conducts dispersion tests tailored to raw material characteristics and formulation conditions, verifying the suppression of clumping, improvement of dispersibility, and enhancement of mouthfeel. Furthermore, through process design aimed at scaling up from the lab to small machines and mass production equipment, we establish reproducible manufacturing conditions. We can support evaluations from the prototyping stage to pre-mass production verification.

Suppressing sedimentation and evenly dispersing the protein.

In the manufacturing of protein drinks, issues such as "clumping," "residue," and "sedimentation/separation" are not merely due to insufficient stirring, but are caused by factors such as powder input conditions, wettability, and the design of mixing and dispersion processes. Particularly during high-concentration formulations or the addition of functional materials, variations in quality and reduced reproducibility become problematic. Shibuya Kogyo's solid-liquid mixing and dispersion system is designed as an integrated solution from powder supply to mixing, dispersion, and formulation, enhancing the solubility and dispersion stability of proteins. Through process optimization tailored to material properties and viscosity conditions, it achieves clump suppression, uniform dispersion, and prevention of sedimentation. We provide consistent support from the research and development stage to mass production equipment, ensuring quality reproducibility during scale-up. This contributes to stable production and quality improvement in food applications. Please consult us about your current challenges.

Dispersion is not determined by the equipment. It is determined by the process design of the solid-liquid mixing dispersion system.

The occurrence of "agglomeration," "cohesion," and "viscosity increase" in dispersion processes is caused not by the equipment but by the design of the process. Poor wetting during powder input and unsuitable dispersion conditions lead to quality variations and poor redispersion, significantly compromising stability during mass production. Additionally, during scale-up, it is often impossible to reproduce the same conditions, resulting in unexpected troubles. Furthermore, every time there is a change in materials or formulations, new conditions must be established, increasing the burden of development and mass production. Shibuya Kogyo's solid-liquid mixing and dispersion system is designed to provide a consistent process from powder supply to dispersion, formulation, and CIP cleaning. By optimizing the entire process, including material properties, input conditions, and fluid design, we stabilize dispersion quality and reproducibility. Moreover, optimization across the entire line contributes to reducing losses between processes and lowering equipment load. It is not just a dispersion machine but a dispersion system that governs the entire process. By building quality from the design stage, we achieve shorter startup times and improved yields. We also provide consistent support from equipment selection to startup, reducing the burden on the site. We propose the optimal dispersion process tailored to your materials and process conditions. Please consult us about your current challenges. We support you from initial considerations to mass production startup.

● What is a hydrogen leak detector? It can measure leaks in small areas that could not be detected in air leak tests and can also identify the leak locations. It is a detector that uses a mixture of 5% hydrogen and 95% nitrogen (non-flammable gas: ISO10156:2017) as the tracer gas. ● What is a helium leak test system? It is a leak test system suitable for high-precision or high-pressure leak inspections. The helium leak test system uses helium gas as the detection gas (tracer gas) and detects the helium that has leaked out. It is the leak test method among Fukuda's leak testers that can detect the smallest leaks.

Fukuda Co., Ltd. has been pursuing leak detection for 60 years and is committed to advancing the future of leak testing. 【 Supporting Various Leak Tests: Air Leak Test / Gas Leak Test (Hydrogen Gas, Helium Gas) 】 We develop, manufacture, and sell leak testing equipment to inspect airtightness and sealing properties. We will propose the appropriate testers and devices for each inspection target. 【 Target Industries and Examples of Inspection Targets 】 - Automotive Industry: Engines, FC components, valves and piping, various parts - Electronic Components Industry: Smartphones, keyless switches, various small sensors - Pharmaceuticals / Food / Cosmetics Industry: Bottle containers, syringes, vials, eye drop containers, pillow packaging, PTP packaging We will propose the most suitable leak testers for each industry. 【 ISO Certification 】JIS Q 9001:2015 (ISO 9001:2015)

Japan is among the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of significant earthquakes occurring. For the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake measures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
