@Graillotion
Sorry for the double message, I still don’t know how to use this forum correctly, I’m not sure if I should have tagged you in the previous one.

Just to know, did you have problems melting varisoft EQ65? Days ago trying to make a cream it took an hour to melt. It is no longer economically convenient if this is the case, and it also did not emulsify well, perhaps due to the mixture of ions that you mention.

Hello graillotion! I’m back with some questions, I hope you can help me 🙂

I bought the mini pro homogenizer and a basic stirrer overhead.

The creams feel much more luxurious, the only thing I’m not sure how to resolve is the thickness, because I think that due to the loss of air and the size of the molecule, the cream is more liquid now with the same amount of emulsifier. I wonder if it is the blending time that can also affect it? How long do you use the homogenizer to feel sure that it is well homogenized and without breaking the cream?

What is the thickest thing you work with?

I would appreciate it if you could guide me with your experience! Thanks!

My budget is approximately $350 usd.

I thought about investing in the Minipro homogenizer since my biggest problem now is bubbles, but then I realized two things:

1. It is indicated for batches of 1lt or more specified in the technical sheet. I am just getting clients so I should start with a maximum of 500 gr.

2. A stirrer is necessary to complete the creams and my budget is not enough for both (the cheapest works in quantities less than 1lt).

I hope in 6 months to be making 1lt batches.

Have you made batches of 500g or less with the Minipro homogenizer?

Thank you.

Thanks for your reply! I’m looking for something simpler right now. I thought the homogenizer would be enough.

If you have any suggestions I would appreciate it.

Hi @graillotion
I have read different moments of your blender search through the forum.
It’s possible for you to guide me on the use of the two elements you mention of the MiniPro?
I´m a bit confused and need to make the investment for sure, sure you will understand 🙂
Thank you very much,
Nicole
