Supercooling process plant for antioxidants.A worldwide increase in demand for antioxidants Antioxidants Substances that reduce the damage of the highly reactive free radicals that are the byproducts of the cells. Mentioned in: Aging, Nutritional Supplements antioxidants, n. is said to be reflected in orders for the company's Supercooling Supercooling is the process of chilling a liquid below its freezing point, without it becoming solid. Description A liquid below its freezing point will crystallize in the presence of a seed crystal or nucleus around which a crystal structure can form. process plant for the production of antioxidant antioxidant, substance that prevents or slows the breakdown of another substance by oxygen. Synthetic and natural antioxidants are used to slow the deterioration of gasoline and rubber, and such antioxidants as vitamin C (ascorbic acid), butylated hydroxytoluene pastilles. Antioxidants are used as stabilizers in the plastics and tire industries. Without them, a tire would harden, drastically shortening its operational life and reducing its elasticity properties, according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. the company. The company is said to be a world leader in the supercooling process which incorporates the Rotoform SC, used to produce antioxidant pastilles, and has designed, developed, supplied and installed more than 50 plants worldwide. One recently installed, automatically operated plant consists of a heating and cooling skid, a precrystallizer skid, the Rotoform, a steel belt cooler and an intelligent programmable logic See PLD. control system offering a complete package of continuous operation that requires only occasional operator intervention. The company now uses four rows of scrapers on the precrystallizer rotor, which is said to allow for extremely smooth operation and increased product throughput. This process is said to overcome the problem of the melt remaining liquid, even when cooled below its melting point, known as a subcooling melt. It solidifies these difficult subcooling melts.
