'Industry-first' cooled spiral mixer.VMI VMI Virginia Military Institute VMI Vendor Managed Inventory VMI Vertical Motion Index VMI Valtakunnan Metsien Inventointi (Finnish: National Forest Inventory) VMI Video Module Interface , the leading European mixer manufacturer, believes it has taken mixing technology a major step forward with the launch of an 'industry-first' spiral mixer. Called the Frostmix, it is the first spiral mixer equipped with a triple jacketed rotary bowl cooled by circulating glycol glycol (glī`kōl), dihydric alcohol in which the two hydroxyl groups are bonded to different carbon atoms; the general formula for a glycol is (CH2)n(OH)2. water. The new, patented Frostmix mixer incorporates VMI's exclusive cooling system, plus a number of other developments all designed to promote dough temperature control and is suitable for use in the most demanding bakery environments. It can keep the dough between 16[degrees]C and 20[degrees]C during mixing; seven to 10[degrees]C cooler than if a coolant coolant (kōō´l  nt),n was not being used. For ambitious bakers and food manufacturers serious about puff pastry, croissant, pizza dough and particularly bread doughs for par-baked production the Frostmix will be of keen interest to them. Although technologically advanced Frostmix retains traditional mixing methods by having a turning spiral and rotating bowl. The spiral is not oversized o·ver·size n. 1.

The triple jacketed bowl enables the dough to be cooled during kneading kneading, n a massage technique in which the whole hand is moved in a circular pattern while the fingers and thumbs squeeze the tissues beneath. without having to use ice or carbon dioxide carbon dioxide, chemical compound, CO2, a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is about one and one-half times as dense as air under ordinary conditions of temperature and pressure. . This is very important because ice flakes cut the gluten network and require longer mixing times as well as more heat. It should also be remembered that C[O.sub.2] injection is very expensive and there is always the risk of the dough "burning". The bowl is locked by hydraulically activated double clamps, a major advantage when the mixer is operating with stiff doughs. There are three models in the range the Frostmix 160, Frostmix 200 and the Frostmix 250 with a maximum mixing capacity of 250 kg of flour. They are available in single or double spiral versions and with manual or automatic controls. The mixer is being supplied and supported in the UK and Ireland by European Process Plant, the Epsom, Surrey-based company who have supplied top quality equipment to British and Irish food manufacturers and bakers for nearly 35 years.
