Power it up with APS

Protein drink mixes have been a popular product for decades. It started out as a product mostly used within body building and is today a huge global industry used for weight management, health, and overall bodily wellbeing. Today’s protein powders come from various sources, including plant-based options like pea, rice, soy, and hemp, as well as animal-based sources like whey and casein from milk, and egg protein.

Protein powder drink manufacturers face a number of challenges when blending the protein powders and adding flavors, sweeteners, and enhancements such as lecithin, enzymes, amino acids, carbohydrates, and fats. One factor that is crucial for consistent product quality is ensuring that all ingredients, with varying particle sizes and weights, are uniformly distributed throughout the mix. 

Our best-in-class sanitary blenders, manufactured in Gurnee, IL, are perfectly suited to handle this challenge and many more, and produce a fully homogeneous mix, batch after batch. 

Which type of blender when mixing protein powder drinks?

We usually recommend using ourfluidizing paddle blender(FPB) or fluidizing zone mixerwhen mixing protein powder drinks. These type of blenders provide several advantages, including: 

  • Increased productivity.
  • Ability to blend ingredients of various bulk density, size, and shape.
  • Protection of fragile ingredients.
  • Low CV values.
  • Batch size flexibility.

But every nutraceutical application is different, and in some cases a ribbon blender is a better fit. Or, why not put our equipment to the test and do a mixing trial in our test lab

Whichever type of APS blender you choose, it can be customized to fit your specific application perfectly.
