1. VPMC. Unit:

The VPMC unit is a type batch equipment, suitable to demonstrate the different mixing processes in the alimentary industry.As it is a multiprocess vessel, several mixing tasks will be able to be carried out. Furthermore, it has a temperature control necessary to make easier the mixing tasks which require it, such as the help to carry out the complex emulsion tasks. The VPMC unit has all the necessary to: mix, emulsify, heat, pasteurise, incubate, cool, chill, cure. As well as the preparation of food products forfurther processing, it allows to produce finished products in batch sizes from 5 up to 30 l. maximum. Anodized aluminum structure and panels of painted steel. Diagram in the front panel. Stainless steel jacketed process vessel, capacity: 30 l. Batch sizes: from 5 up to 30 l. (depending on the mixture being processed). Max. vessel contents temperature: 85º C. Heating element, computer controlled. Emulsifier/Mixer unit of high speed with DC motor, this emulsifier is computer controlled. 4 Different emulsifier heads are supplied. Chilled water circulation system: chilling unit with compressor motor and water recirculating centrifugal pump, computer controlled. PID control of the temperature of the product into the process vessel. 4 Sensors to measure: products temperature in the vessel, temperatures for controlling the water temperature. Flow rate of cold or chilled water is controlled. Level switch in the process vessel to protect the heating element.

2. VPMC/CIB.Control Interface Box: 

With process diagram in the front panel. The unit control elements are permanently computer controlled. Simultaneous visualization in the PC of all parameters involved in the process. Calibration of all sensors involved in the process. Realtime curves representation. All the actuators’ values can be changed at any time from the keyboard. Shield and filtered signals to
avoid external interferences. Real time PID control with flexibility of modifications from the PC keyboard of the PID parameters, at any moment during the process. Open control allowing modifications, at any moment and in real time, of parameters involved in the process. 3 safety levels: mechanical in the unit, electronic in the control interface, and the third one in the control software.

3. DAB. Data Acquisition Board: 

PCI Express Data acquisition National Instruments board to be placed in a computer slot. 16 Analog inputs. Sampling rate up to: 250 KS/s. 2 Analog outputs. 24 Digital Inputs/Outputs.

4. VPMC/CCSOF. PID Computer Control+Data Acquisition+Data Management Software:
