High-temperature reactors in the new amixon® pilot plant II

This technical pilot plant II was newly built by amixon for our customers. This is where we carry out demanding vacuum mix drying and synthesis reactions for our customers.

In test center II, amixon® has 3 new mixer-vacuum dryer-synthesis reactors. The development of new material and processes sometimes requires process equipment with special qualities. amixon® offers the possibility for piloting with your original goods. If gauge pressure or vacuum is required in the process chamber, then gas-tight shaft seals and closure fittings are needed. Sometimes there are even further requirements:

• free of dead space and hygienically

• suitable also suitable for abrasive bulk materials

• also suitable for chemically aggressive materials

• operable up to 350°C

• ceramic coating protects the mixed material

amixon® has reliable solutions for precisely such requirements. We will be happy to demonstrate these to you in our pilot plant II!

Oxygen is present in our ambient air at a level of 21%. Many unwanted reactions only take place when oxygen is present. The oxygen can be effectively banished from the mixing chamber by evacuating the ambient air from the mixing chamber. This is done when the mixing chamber is purged several times with an inert gas.

Bulk goods susceptible to oxidation, especially spices, instant food of high-quality or baby food will keep much longer if oxidizing atmospheric oxygen is eliminated. Oxygen in the air is eliminated. The mixed goods can be vacuumed in the mixer and then and then pressurized with an inert gas to ambient pressure before packaging/ filling takes place.

amixon® will participate in two trade fairs in March. At the trade fairs, amixon® experts will be available for consultations on all aspects of mixing technology and hygiene standards!

The Gentle Powder Processing of Instant Ready Meals

A mixer for instant food has to solve complex tasks in a field of conflicting challenges. We have taken up and answered typical, recurring questions from our customers below.

How can heterogeneous mixtures be protected against segregation? Depending on the type of instant dish, 40 or more individual components may be involved in the recipe. Most of the components are bulk materials (lumpy or powdery). Other components are liquid (thin or highly viscous). You can add all components to the mixer at the same time and then start the mixing proc...

Hygienic features in amixon® mixers

The amixon® mixing systems depicted have different areas of application. But they have the same hygiene features. One of the distinguishing features of a hygienic precision mixer is that it mixes the ingredients particularly gently.

amixon®has realised many pioneering developments to improve the hygiene standards of powder mixers. Some of these are described below. ComDisc® tools for complete discharging ComDisc® tools are capable of completely discharging mixers with a flat bottom. During the mixing process, the ComDisc® elements float in the flow shadow through the mix. In the final phase of em...
