Quadro’s recognized leadership in specialized process equipment was launched by a single idea that has stood the test of time. The four founders of Quadro originated the concept of the conical mill, or “Comil®”, and in 1976, were first to bring it to market. A revolutionary idea at the time, the conical mill has proven to be one of the industry’s most durable and most imitated advances in size reduction technology.
But Quadro believes that quality is, itself, a process that cannot stand still. Continuous improvement is rooted in continuous innovation. Through investment in R&D and the ongoing refinement and extension of the Comil design, Quadro has continued to earn its position as quality leader.
In 1990, Quadro expanded its vision of quality into new markets and applications with the Ytron® line of mixing and emulsifying equipment. Like the Comil, Quadro’s Ytron line builds on a proud heritage of technical innovation and design.
From mills to mixers, to complementary product lines, Quadro has earned the respect of customers with widely varied applications in more than 50 countries. Quadro people, like Quadro products, are recognized everywhere for the highest standards of professionalism and performance.

Delumping Frozen Vegetable Blocks
An international manufacturer of prepared frozen foods approached Quadro to develop a process to delump and disperse frozen vegetables into a sauce mixture. The vegetables were individually quick frozen (IQF) for the customer by an outside supplier, placed into cardboard cases lined with plastic bags and shipped to the manufacturer. During shipping and storage, the vegetables coalesced into solid blocks. When the blocks were finally used, steam lances and hot water would be used to break up...

"ZC" In-Line Disperser for Gums The Quadro Ytron(TM) ZC Powder Disperser is uniquely engineered to incorporate and disperse extremely difficult-to-wet gums into a liquid stream in a single-pass. The advanced design of the ZC Disperser's rotor/stator provides for intense shearing of the gums prior to hydration, to produce homogeneous dispersions that are completely free of lumps and "fish-eyes". A near-perfect vacuum permits concentrations up to 25% by weight to be generated with minimal air entrainment. Because the powder is...

"Y" Jet Mixer- In-Tank Mixer The Quadro Ytron(TM) "Y" Jet Mixer uses unique rotor/stator tooling that creates a pure axial flow discharge jet to provide instant in-tank mixing and blending. The wasteful radial flow and vortexing that is the trademark of conventional open impeller design mixers are eliminated - without the use of baffles. Air entrainment is minimized. The "Y" Jet Mixer's strong axial flow pattern produces a uniform velocity profile, throughout the vessel with no stratification or dead areas, improving heat...
