Defoamers for Food Processing

Discover how Mera Chemicals can help you reduce foaming problems related to food processing with our high-quality defoaming solutions.

Do you have a foam problem in your food processing business?

At Mera Chemicals, we specialise in providing top-tier antifoam and defoaming solutions specifically designed for the food processing industry. Our innovative products help improve efficiency, maintain product quality, and ensure the smooth operation of your processing lines, no matter the scale of production.

With a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced in the food industry, our antifoams and defoamers are crafted to meet the highest safety and performance standards, making them suitable for a wide range of food applications, including sugar processing, pea and potato processing, and other diffusion-based processes.

Antifoam and Defoaming Solutions for Sugar Processing

Foam control is critical in sugar processing, where the buildup of foam can lead to production inefficiencies, equipment damage, and product quality issues. Our specially formulated antifoam solutions are designed to reduce foam generation during sugar crystallisation, clarification, and evaporation stages.

By using our antifoaming products, you can optimise sugar recovery, reduce downtime, and enhance the overall quality of your final product.

Safe and Effective Addition to Foodstuffs

In food processing, unwanted foam can impact product consistency, texture, and shelf life. Our food-grade antifoams are safe for direct addition to various foodstuffs, ensuring your production process remains smooth and efficient while meeting all regulatory standards.

Our solutions are ideal for managing foam in everything from soups and sauces to dairy products and beverages. Whether you’re producing large batches or small quantities, our antifoaming agents deliver consistent, reliable performance.

Solutions for Diffusion Processes

Diffusion processes, such as those used in the extraction of sugars and starches from plant-based sources like peas and potatoes, can experience significant foam generation. This foam can slow down the diffusion rate, negatively impacting overall yield and processing time.

Our defoaming solutions are designed to quickly break down foam in diffusion systems, ensuring efficient processing and optimal product quality. With our antifoam solutions, you can reduce the need for mechanical defoaming, minimise operational disruptions, and maximise production.

Pea and Potato Processing Foam Control

Pea and potato processing often involves large-scale operations where foam can interfere with washing, peeling, and cooking processes. Excess foam can lead to product wastage, equipment wear, and extended processing times.

Our advanced antifoam and defoaming solutions are tailored to address the specific needs of pea and potato processors. Our products reduce foam formation during key stages, enabling smoother operations, higher yields, and reduced water usage, which contributes to both environmental sustainability and cost-efficiency.
