Integra-Mix™ 
True, Multi-level Optimization
  Today's advanced recipes may contain many sub-components or kibbles each which carry their own specification in terms of claims and other characteristics.  The attributes of the complete product are also defined in terms of nutrition, moisture, ingredients and many other parameters.  The challenge is to specify and to optimize the whole product simultaneously with all its sub-components.

Integra-Mix™ does just that.  It is a multi-component optimization package which formulates multiple sub-components both within products and when they are shared across products.

Integra-Mix™ facilitates the design and construction of the Master product and its hierarchy of sub-components.  It provides easy-to-use tools which display the component levels and allows the Recipe Designer to fine-tune constraints and attributes at any level of the product.

 


Ideal for multi-particle products

Close collaboration with nutritional specialists, laboratory managers, computing experts and universities ensures that leading edge research and techniques can be incorporated rapidly where relevance is proven..

Integra-Mix™  is specifically designed to –
  • Optimize products containing other recipes as sub-components.
  • Optimize the sub-component recipe based on its inclusion in the final product.
  • Optimize the sub-component recipe where it is included in more than one final product.
  • Provide recipe management utilities for multi-level products.

Integra-Mix™  

Benefits
  • Streamlines the recipe development and re-optimization process
  • Minimizes overall costs of recipes with shared sub-components
  • Balances sub-component variations against manufacturing requirements
  • Manages the recipes through the manufacturing process with moisture yielding

Features 

  • Master products can contain numerous sub-components specifications, free ingredients and fixed formulae, all with varying inclusion levels.
  • Sub-components are specifications that contain free ingredient and fixed formula restrictions, all with varying inclusion levels.
  • The Master level defines the nutrient composition and overall ingredient restrictions (global ingredients) and provides final product moisture limits.
  • Sub-components have nutrient and ingredient constraints for moisture control and to ensure any legal claims are met.
  • The Optimization Process can be used for a single Master product or to Group together Master components that share common sub-components.
  • The Multi-component hierarchy allows the user to view the multi-level products graphically
  • The Integra-Mix™ nutrient Editor has built in facility to define nutrients with a simplified script equation.
  • Integra-Mix™ has an enhanced user interface which enables ingredient data to be viewed and edited from inside a specification or formula.
