Antifoams for Organic Foods

FOAMDOCTOR F2857

Organic Process Antifoam Agent for Vegetable Processing

Foamdoctor F2857 is a vegetable based foam control agent for use in the production of organic crisps and chips (or other vegetables) where foaming is an inherent problem.

The benefits of using Foamdoctor F2857 are:

Product Application

During the washing and slicing of potatoes (and other vegetables) starch is released into the water and with time the concentration of starch builds up, resulting in the generation of foam which when left uncontrolled can affect production efficiency.

Foam carried through to the blanching process can also affect the quality of crisps produced and must therefore be controlled.

Foamdoctor F2857 is therefore added to the potato water circuit at the washing and slicing stage of the manufacturing process, reducing foam build-up, thus maximising production efficiency and product quality.

Processes and process plant vary considerably but as a guide the product should be closed initially at a rtae of 200 parts per million. The dosage rate can be reduced or increased from this point until optimal economy with effective foam control has been aceived. Ideally the product should be dosed with a diaphragm pump at a point where the process water is flowing most rapidly to be ensured of the effective dispersion of the antifoam agent.

Product Benefits

Foamdoctor F2857 controls foam generation in organic food production enabling process equipment to operate at a higher capacity without the risk of spillages that can affect housekeeping or create product waste.

Processes and process plant vary considerably but as a guide the product should be dosed initially at a rate of 200 parts per million. The dosage rate can be reduced or increased from this point until optimal economy with effective foam control has been achieved. Ideally the product should be dosed with a diaphragm pump at a piont upstream of a system pump to ensure effective dispersion of the antifoam agent.

Foamdoctor F2857 is available in 1000 litre containers, 200 litre drums or bulk road tanker deliveries.

FOAMDOCTOR F2859

Organic Process Antifoam Agent for Sugar Beet Processing

Foamdoctor F2859 is a vegetable based foam control agent for use in the producton of organic sugar from beet (or other vegetables) where foaming is an inherent problem.

Foamdoctor F2859 is effective in controloing foaming in juice extracion and evaporation. The product incorporates an effective defoamer that eliminates exisiting foam and acts as an effective antifoam package preventing further foam developing.

The benefits of using Foamdoctor 2859 are:

Product Application

Processes and process plant vary considerably but as a guide the product should be dosed initially at a rate of 200 parts per million. The dosage rate can be reduced or increased from this point until optimum economy with effective foam control has been achieved. Ideally the product should be dosed with a diaphragm pump at a point upstream of a system pump to ensure effective dispersion of the antifoam agent.
