About Quadro (US) Inc. from http://www.quadro.com
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.Find Quadro Engineering Corp. and others on ThomasNet.com

Meeting Tight OEL Limits in API Milling
According to leading containment isolator manufacturers, it has been estimated that up to 50% of new pharmaceutical products are now being set by the pharmaceutical industry with Operator Exposure Limits (OEL's) at ≤10μg/m3. A leading European Pharmaceutical company needed to complete various clinical trials with batch sizes of highly dusty materials weighing between 1 - 20kg through a U5 Comil®. The STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) of the worst case APIs (Active Pharmaceutical... |  |

Quadro Engineering Corp. Introduces the FlexSift S10
"Quadro is proud to introduce the new Quadro® FlexSift S10. The high-capacity, compact FlexSift S10 is easily vertically integrated into processes and overcomes many of the typical problematic product flow bottlenecks associated with traditional sifting technologies. The S10 security screens, delumps, and discharges all without the need for feeder equipment, allowing for higher capacities and better product flow than large conventional sifters. The S10 is safe and simple to disassemble, and... |  |

Sizing Bakery Mix from a Dryer
A manufacturer of bakery mix approached Quadro to help them size industrial baking ingredients coming from their drum dryer. The mixture consisted of oil, sugar, flavors and flour. The material left the dryer in a flake form. However, the flakes first needed to be cooled and then reduced to a consistent particle size prior to packaging. |  |

Increasing Production Efficiency & Product Quality in Ready-to-Use Frosting Manufacturing
Ready-to-use frostings have gained in popularity in recent years. Prepared frostings typically consist of sugar, gums and flavors such as cocoa and vanilla which are dispersed into a solution of corn syrup and water. Eductor-style powder dispersers often do not effectively disperse the gums and flavors without creating agglomerates causing increased batch times and often, re-work of the product. Due to the highly viscous nature of the final product, conventional agitators have problems mixing... |  |

Sauce Manufacturing Simplified with Increased Quality
A large, international manufacturer of frozen prepared foods approached Quadro to help find a solution to their preparation of a sauce-mix. The manufacturer was looking for a system that would blend dry powder consisting of flake parsley, guar gum and other seasonings into an oil/water mixture. The key was to provide enough shear to disperse the guar while avoiding damage to the delicate flake seasonings. |  |

Squeeze More Profits from Your Fruit Juice Production
In the production of fruit and vegetable juices which have a percentage of pomace content (i.e. solid remains or pulp of fruit after pressing for juice), it's common to use a pressure/valve homogenizer to decrease the particle size of the dispersed solids and provide improved stability against separation. In many food products increased viscosity can be used to counteract the settling rate of dispersed solids, but in the case of fruit and vegetable juice an increase in viscosity would add... |  |

'ZC' In-Line Disperser for Gums
The Quadro Ytron® 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... |  |

Efficient Bulk Tank & Silo Turnover for Dairy Operations
Bulk tanks and silos are commonly found in most dairy facilities. The products they contain tend to be shear-sensitive, and separate over time. The Jet Mixer has proven to be successful in bulk tank mixing and gentle handling of shear-sensitive products. Some of the products the Jet Mixer has successfully processed include yogurt pre-mix, infant formula, condensed milk whey, milk serum, buttermilk storage, milk protein isolate, cream and fresh cheese. |  |

Meeting the Challenges of Today's Ice Cream Manufacturer
Increase productivity, improve product quality and reduce costs. Quadro can help today's ice cream processor meet these challenges with our Ytron mixing technology. Conventional mixing methods often result in long processing times, poor yield of ingredients leading to filtration and high air incorporation. Partially hydrated lumps also have a tendency to build-up on the vessel and heat exchanger surfaces, which can impair heat transfer, make cleaning difficult, and impact the performance of... |  |
