Shanghai EasyReal has completed the installation, commissioning, and acceptance of a Pilot Water Bath Mixing & Fermentation Plant at INTERNATIONAL FOOD AND BEVERAGE JOINT STOCK COMPANY (INTERBOS) in Vietnam.
The project provides INTERBOS with a stable pilot platform for developing yogurt, plant-based beverages, and other fermented products under controlled conditions that are close to industrial production.
The system supplied to INTERBOS is based on Configuration 6, the most complete setup in EasyReal’s Water Bath Mixing & Fermentation series.
It combines water bath heating and cooling, automatic temperature control, pH monitoring, and programmable mixing functions.
During on-site installation and testing, the plant:
• Was installed and brought into operation within a few days.
• Reached temperature stability within ±1°C in continuous operation.
• Ran automated cycles for 72 hours without process interruption.
This gives the INTERBOS R&D team a reliable tool to run repeated trials, compare formulas, and record process data before moving new products to larger-scale production.
Explore the system: Water Bath Blending Vessel
The plant is designed for food, beverage, and basic biotech R&D tasks that require precise temperature and mixing control. Typical applications include:
• Fermentation Trials
Yogurt, kefir, plant-based drinks, probiotic products, and other fermented liquids.
• Mixing and Blending Tests
Liquid–liquid and liquid–solid mixing, such as emulsions, flavored beverages, and sauce prototypes.
• Process Parameter Studies
Systematic comparison of temperature, pH, agitation speed, and holding time to understand their impact on product texture, stability, and flavor.
Main Features
1. Temperature and Mixing Control
o Water bath heating and cooling for gentle and uniform temperature control.
o Programmable agitation (continuous or intermittent) with time settings.
o Option for single-vessel or unified temperature control, depending on the selected configuration.
2. Automation and Monitoring
o Real-time pH measurement using Mettler Toledo sensors.
o Siemens-based control for process adjustment, data logging, and basic remote support.
3. Flexible Configuration Options
o Six configurations (1–6) from basic water bath mixing to fully equipped fermentation systems.
o Choice of control level (semi-automatic or PLC-based), allowing users to match investment with current R&D needs.
Main Components
• Water bath vessel(s)
• Agitator with paddle
• Plate heat exchanger and chiller (depending on configuration)
• Mettler Toledo pH sensors
• Semi-automatic or Siemens PLC control system
The Water Bath Mixing & Fermentation Plant series is divided into several configurations to fit different R&D requirements:
• Configuration 1 – Entry Level
Basic water bath mixing with unified heating, suitable for simple tests and temperature holding applications.
• Configuration 3 – Intermediate Level
Automated temperature control and time-based stirring functions, ideal for more structured experiments that require repeatable profiles.
• Configuration 6 – Advanced Fermentation Setup
Full fermentation capability with heating and cooling, pH monitoring, and flexible control logic. This is the configuration delivered to INTERBOS Vietnam.
All configurations can be upgraded step by step. Users can start with a simpler setup and add chillers, heat exchangers, or advanced control modules when projects become more complex.
EasyReal designs pilot plants to help food and beverage companies reduce risk and cost in product development. With the INTERBOS project, the pilot water bath plant supports:
• Lower Development Risk
New formulas and process conditions can be tested at pilot scale before investment in full-scale production.
• Lower Material Consumption
Small-batch trials help save ingredients when screening multiple recipes or process settings.
• Better Data for Scale-Up
Stable and recorded process conditions make it easier for engineers to transfer successful pilot recipes to industrial lines.
The INTERBOS installation shows how a pilot water bath mixing and fermentation plant can support structured R&D work for fermented and functional beverages.
For manufacturers and R&D teams looking to build or upgrade a pilot facility, EasyReal can provide standard systems as well as customized solutions based on existing processes and product plans.
