Specialty fats fractionation: new possibilities

Statoliser Technologies

Optimize your performance...


Compared to conventional fractionation, De Smet specialty fat Fractionation Technologies like
Statoliser works magic on your wallet.

It not only requires less floor area, thus saving expensive space, but also substantially reduce
investment costs, and minimize labour cost by increasing reliability, safety and obtained yields.

Discover high added value applications and increase your competitive edge by producing fully customised quality products.

Major advantages
Large cooling surface to oil volume ratio, with short oil to cooling surface distance
Swept cooling surface with minimal distance between cooling walls and agitators avoiding any dead areas.
Perfect agitation, resulting in homogeneity in mass and temperature
Consistent high heat transfer capacity and hence, very strict control of cooling curve
which is of essence for a perfect product
Fully automated process for high quality control
Consistency in plant production capacity
Constant quality of end product
Flexibility in operation and in product change-over thanks to the limited amount of
product in process apparatus
Highly selective separation yields, high value added products for easy marketing
Minimal time hold-up reducing operation costs.
Perfect extrapolation of operating parameters from the Desmet Ballestra laboratory pilot plant

Very crucial for a good CB replacement fat is the
steep melting behaviour in the mouth, giving a
cooling effect with no greasy impression.

To obtain this, the fat needs to be solid at room

smooth and rapid melting: in the mouth.

Origin of CBR
CB replacement fats are mostly from vegetable origin,
although some are made from animal fats as for
example: tallow. They can be categorised into three
main groups, according to their origin and degree of
compatibility in the solid state with cocoa butter.

Most fractionated specialty fats, used in the confectionery


industry today, are still produced traditionally by the labour
intensive panning & pressing method or by miscella
fractionation, using mostly acetone as a solvent.
