PDX Sonic System

The PDX Sonic system from Pursuit Dynamics plc is available from T Musk Engineering Ltd.

The PDX is a pump, a mixer, a heater and a homogeniser. The PDX system has no moving parts and is almost impossible to block. It can be used to transport fluids with high solids content, entrain different materials, heat ingredients or blend recipes.

It is a revolution in fluids handling and processing.

The benefits of PDX technology in the manufacture of prepared foods and beverage include:

• Dramatic reduction in production times
• Step change in energy efficiency
• Maintenance savings (can replace homogenisers, pumps, high shear mixers, direct steam injection etc)
• Enhanced particulate integrity
• Improved cooking quality – no contact heat surfaces or hotspots
• Reduced plant footprint
• Zero cook-on
• Reduced waste and ingredient costs
