Multiflux GMS mixers achieve homogeneous protein blends in 30 seconds

Gericke has introduced its Multiflux GMS mixers, designed to improve protein blending performance while minimizing heat and shear during processing. The batch mixing systems use proprietary double shaft technology to gently combine powders and liquids, helping manufacturers protect sensitive protein ingredients from degradation.

According to Gericke, the mixers achieve required homogeneity in as little as 30 seconds. The system is engineered to reduce risks associated with denaturing, clumping, and loss of functional properties, even when proteins are added in concentrations below 0.01 percent.

The Multiflux GMS mixers are designed for use across food, dairy, pet food, and nutrition manufacturing applications. They have been tested with a range of protein types, including pea, whey, soy, rice, and collagen, supporting both new product development and reformulation efforts aimed at increasing protein content.

The equipment features stainless steel construction and polished internal surfaces to support hygienic processing. Gericke states the design meets Food and Drug Administration and Good Manufacturing Practice requirements. An oversized access door provides full interior access, allowing operators to clean the system efficiently.

Gericke also offers testing services at its New Jersey laboratory, where manufacturers can evaluate mixing performance using their specific formulations. Testing can be conducted in person or remotely through live streaming, video conferencing, or recorded demonstrations.
