Foam Inhibitors for Beverages
Top-tier, High-Performance Lubricant Foam Control Solution for Beverages
Shrieve’s foam control solution for beverages, including alcoholic drinks, soft drinks, dry drink mixes, and more
Traditionally, foam control is managed by utilizing a defoamer and/or an anti-foam agent. Shrieve’s PROGILINE® Foam Inhibitor range has been designed to do both in beverage manufacturing: They destroy foam already present and at the same time prevent foam from forming. Its innovative chemistry activates solely by the temperature. When the activation range is reached, PROGILINE® FI, by mimicking the molecules contained in the bubbles that form the foam, destabilizes the bubble wall causing the foam to break down. This ensures Shrieve’s PROGILINE® Foam Inhibitors are the ideal lubricant foam solution. Below the activation temperature range, they are fully soluble in water, with no residue.
The beverage industry is trending toward high-performing and low-dosage products that are fully compliant with food legislation. The PROGILINE® FI, PAG foam inhibitor range is the perfect solution for the beverage industry, in which breaking up air bubbles in manufacturing is required.
Excess foam during beverage production and processing can cause serious operational and quality problems. For example, foaming during bottling can make the volume control unreliable. Variables in beverage production determine the foam control product required and the treat rate needed to suppress or control foam within the parameters required for the stage of production in question. A beverage antifoam solution such as Shrieve’s PROGILINE® Foam Inhibitor ensures your beverage production process has limited operational problems.
Shrieve has implemented a specific range of food-grade certified products that address foaming issues during beverage processing. Shrieve offers a comprehensive range of foam inhibitors for juice, alcohol, soft drinks and other beverage processing in specific temperature ranges.
