很多种食品中都有添加香精或者香料，尽管形式不同，但通常香精、香料都被浓缩成油性液体。食品加工机械必须使其乳化，并加入树脂或其他稳定剂，才能更好的提高产品品质和延长保质期。
******************************************************************************
IKN® WoMKs has a wide range of solutions to improve product quality and process efficiency. The two steps to this process involve forming an emulsion (dispersing and reducing the ERoplet size of the liquids) and hyERating a stabilizer to help maintain the emulsion. Neglecting either of these steps will result in a reduced shelf life for the product.
IKN® 提供多种提升品质和产率的解决方案。这种工艺通常需要两个步骤，乳化（分散并减小液滴大小），溶解稳定剂。忽略任何一步都会减短使用寿命。
******************************************************************************
Emulsions are formed when two immiscible liquids (oil and water) are dispersed within one another. Stability of the emulsion will depend on several characteristics of the product, most notably viscosity (thickness) and ERoplet size.
当两种互不相容的液体（油和水）分散为均一相时，便形成了乳液。乳液的稳定性由产品的特性决定，主要是粘度和粒径大小。
******************************************************************************
The higher the viscosity of the liquids, generally, the more stable the emulsion. This is because the phases cannot easily move within one another (picture an air bubble trying to rise in honey versus water). Therefore, the stabilizers often used in the manufacture of flavor emulsions include gums or other thickening agents. These ingredients, often a powder, act to increase the viscosity and thus keep the oil and water phases from separating. The challenge to the manufacturer is to effectively blend these often difficult to disperse powders. IKN® WoMKs range of high shear mixers can rapidly and efficiently disperse these stabilizers using rotor / stator technology. The intense mixing action breaks down the agglomerates (lumps) that often form when hyERating these powders and increases the suMFace area exposed to the liquid, improving functionality.
一般情况下，液体的粘度越高，乳液的稳定性就越好，因为其中一相很难移动到另一相（就像气泡在蜂蜜中难以流动一样）。因此，稳定剂、树脂和增粘剂常用于香料乳液。这些粉体成分的功能是增加物料粘度，并防止分层。而其中的难点在于如何有效地混合这些难以分散的粉体。IKN® 提供一系列的高剪切乳化机，能够快速高效的分散这些稳定剂。剧烈的混合分散作用可以打碎粉体块，增加粉体与液体的接触面，提升他们的功效。
******************************************************************************
IKN® WoMKs’ value to the customer is not limited to dispersing a stabilizer. The shelf life of the product and stability of the emulsion will also depend on the ERoplet size of the liquids or how finely they are dispersed within one another. Illustrating this point, picture a small air bubble that sits in a glass of water for hours versus a large bubble which instantly rises to the suMFace. IKN® WoMKs’ customers utilize a range of interchangeable Generators (rotor / stator tools) to tailor a single mixer to achieve a very narrow ERoplet size distribution of the ideal size for maximum shelf life. The multiple rows of rotors and stators coupled with the ability to utilize up to three distinct rotor / stator sets allow IKN® Mixers to overcome the forces (i.e. inteMFacial tension) that hinder the formation of stable emulsions. IKN® has experience forming emulsions with ERoplet sizes as low as 0.25m m and very tight size distributions.
IKN® 设备的价值，不仅仅体现在分散稳定剂上。产品的保质期和乳液的稳定性取决于液滴的颗粒尺寸和两相的分散状态。为了说明这个问题，您可以想像一下，小的气泡可以在水杯中长时间存在，而大的气泡却不断浮上水面。IKN® 的用户可以选择多种分散头（定转子），使用单级乳化机便可实现窄粒径分布和最长保质期。IKN®三排定转子乳化分散头可以克服在形成稳定乳液过程中的阻力。IKN®在粒径小于0.25mm的窄分布领域工艺上，具有非常丰富的经验。

ADVANTAGED OF IKN® WOMKS MIXERS WHEN MIXING FLAVORS:
IKN® 乳化机用于混合香精、香料的优点：
******************************************************************************
Increased viscosity from a given amount of gum / stabilizer, due to increased functionality. This allows customers, in many cases, to decrease their raw materials usage.
增加稳定剂的功效，减少原材料用量
******************************************************************************
Less wasted product. Lumps of gum do not need to be filtered out.
减少产品浪费，无需过滤结块粉体
******************************************************************************
Decreased operator input. Operators must finely sift gums into a batch tank when using conventional methods, which takes a considerable amount of time. Also, filter changes / maintenance are common, as even the best operators cannot avoid some agglomeration when using these methods.
减少人员工作量。常规方式下，操作人员通常需要将粉体加入混合罐，非常费时。同时，需要经常更换和维护滤网，即便是最好的操作人员，也不能避免结块。
******************************************************************************
Increased efficiency. Conventional methods take a considerable amount of time (often hours) to hyERate a gum or stabilizing agent. IKN® WoMKs Mixers achieve almost instantaneous hyERation.
提高效率。传统工艺方法需花费大量的时间来水化稳定剂，而IKN®设备却可以瞬间完成。
******************************************************************************
Fine ERoplet sizes / improved shelf life or stability. IKN® WoMKs Mixers produce the finest emulsions of any rotor / stator mixer with the tightest particle size distribution.
精细粒径分布，延长保质期和增强稳定性。IKN® 混合机生产最细粒径的乳液，并保证最窄的粒径分布。
******************************************************************************
Decreased process time. Alternate high shear devices will often require long process times or may not even be capable of forming the emulsion. IKN® WoMKs’ innovative Generator designs ensure a tight, stable emulsion is quickly formed.
缩短工艺时间。如不采用高剪切设备，则需要投入更长的时间，甚至不会制成乳液。IKN®创新的分散头设计，确保形成粒径窄分布和稳定的乳液。
