When it comes to frozen treats like Italian ice, achieving the perfect texture requires more than just great flavor—it demands a flawless mix. One common issue processors face is the formation of unsightly fisheyes caused by poorly dispersed powders like stabilizers and gums. These clumps not only affect product consistency but also lead to wasted ingredients and longer batch times.
An Italian ice manufacturer recently came to Admix with this exact challenge. They needed a way to speed up batch processing and eliminate fisheyes when adding flavors, gums, and stabilizers—most of which were introduced in powder form—into water across multiple tank sizes.
The solution? The Dynashear®, a high shear mixer known for its ability to rapidly disperse solids, break down agglomerates, and produce a smooth, finished product. We provided a mobile Dynashear® unit on castors, allowing operators to easily connect it to the outlet of each tank. This flexible setup gave them an economical and efficient way to reduce waste and eliminate fisheyes across all batches.
Whether you’re mixing gums, stabilizers, or powders into liquids, the right high shear mixer makes all the difference. The Dynashear® delivers vigorous mixing, powder induction, and high shear dispersion—all critical for achieving consistent quality in products like Italian ice.
