POLARON PIN ROTOR MACHINE

The Polaron Pin Rotor Machine is designed to handle a wide range of products in the oils and fats processing industry, including:

• Table margarine
• Puff pastry margarine
• Industrial margarine
• Shortening
• CBS (cocoa butter substitutes)
• AMF blends
• Low-fat and texturised butter products

By kneading and working the product at variable speeds, the Polaron Pin Rotor Machine fine-tunes texture, plasticity, and viscosity, ensuring excellent workability and product performance.

Designed with efficiency, hygiene, and flexibility in mind, the Polaron Pin Rotor Machine is compact, cleanable, and easy to service.

For production facilities where floor space is at a premium, the machine can be delivered in a stacked configuration with up to three pin rotor machines mounted on a single frame. This allows you to increase capacity and processing flexibility while minimising the amount of space required in your production line – without compromising performance.

In addition to its factory-friendly design, the Polaron Pin Rotor Machine is built for easy cleaning, servicing, and maintenance. It’s fully compatible with CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems for fast, hygienic cleaning, and all product-contacting parts are made in AISI 316 stainless steel to meet the strict hygiene standards of the food industry.

Semi-balanced, sanitary design seals ensure product safety while simplifying service access, helping you keep downtime to an absolute minimum.

In certain formulations – particularly those based on palm oil, low-fat spreads, or other slow-crystallising fats – additional processing after primary crystallisation can significantly improve product plasticity, texture, and workability. The Polaron Plasticator is an optional downstream unit designed to provide this extra kneading and working of the product.

The Polaron Plasticator is also highly effective in handling broken emulsions. In cases where a product’s emulsion has partially separated during processing, the Plasticator can help restore the correct water-in-oil emulsion structure, preserving product integrity and avoiding waste.

The Polaron Plasticator is ideal for:

• Palm oil-based formulations
• Low-fat spreads
• Restoring broken emulsions to stable water-in-oil form
• Applications requiring highly consistent texture and spreadability

With its precise, adjustable kneading intensity and hygienic, easy-to-clean design, the Plasticator gives you added flexibility and control over your final product quality.
