Globulyzer - a new instrument launched by Lactotronic BV in autumn 2006 - measures fat globule size in milk. It aids in controlling milk quality, homogenization, and energy consumption in dairy production. The instrument features high-precision optics, automatic dilution system, and software, ensuring measurement accuracy and ease of use. With Royal already using ten units, Globulyzer is set to revolutionize the dairy industry.

Globulyzer A new instrument of Lactotronic BV, which has been launched in the autumn 2006
Fat in Milk Fat & cholesterol • Milk fat is a complex mixture of lipids • Triglycerides are the major lipid type • Stabilized by phospholipids, proteins • Saturated fatty acids: • butyric and caproic • Released by hydrolysis, lipase • Fat soluble vitamins • Fat droplets form the cream of milk (also contains some protein) • Fat is the major energy source of the young obtained from milk
Homogenization • Milk pumped through small openings under high pressure • Produces finely divided fat solubles • lipoproteins stabilized emulsion • fat globules size • viscosity • susceptibly to rancidity
Homogenization • The homogenisation process reduces the size of the butterfat globules • The size of the butterfat globules are directly relating to the creaming rate of the milk
Homogenization • With poorly homogenised milk after a certain time a fat ring appears in the milk cartons or bottles. Customers dissatisfaction! • Manufactures of consumer milk try to retard the creaming rate often by over-homogenise the milk, but homogenisation is consuming high energy and therefore very costly. • With measurement of the homogenisation degree the milk plant has the possibility to control the quality of the product, at the same time it can safe energy.
Globulyzer To measure quickly the average size of the fat globules in milk and some milk products. The results of a measurement are expressed in microns.
Globulyzer The following parts are in the Instrument High precision optics completely sealed. Automatic diluting system. Flow cell. Electronics and software. Containers for diluting and cleaning. Output port for printer.
Globulyzer Adjustments for daily operations are minimised Automatic adjustment of light source intensity. Syringe is outside instrument accessible and easy to change without adjustment afterwards. Automatic cleaning of flow cell. Automatic product diluting independent of fat percentage. Automatic zero measurement. Software protected by codes. Measurement precision independent of personal skills.
Globulyzer Royal has ordered an initial number of ten units, which has been delivered and put into operation in the course of 2005 / 2006 Placed 5/5 unit 2008/2009
Globulyzer Hopefully we will get a lot of orders from your customers too. This instruments can be a good door opener for us into several dairy food industries Success !
