amixon® vertical mixers for spice preparation
Scent, taste and effect - spices fascinate
The fascination of spices lies in the combination of essential oils, aromas, antioxidants, colorants, vitamins and minerals. They turn food into a sensory experience. A number of spices have been attributed with health benefits. Others have a preservative effect.
The journey from the producer to the consumer is long and a good aroma can quickly be lost. Therefore, the methods of transportation, sterilization, grinding, sieving, mixing, conveying and filling are adapted to the particular spices.
Fine particles, accurate dosing and mixing, intense flavor
Not all spices are grinded. Bay leaves - for example - remain completely intact. Sometimes parts of the plant are first cut and then rubbed, that is, the stem parts are removed. In contrast, seeds or fruit spices in particular are often ground.
The mix does not heat up in the amixon® mixer, even if oleoresins or stabilizers are mixed in. The spice blends remain natural, free-flowing and dust-free. With ComDisc® tools, the amixon® mixer can automatically discharge free-flowing products up to 99.98%.
Even small orders are ideally mixed
The amixon® powder mixer type EM produces ideal mixing qualities. It was developed for small orders. The mixer rotates at low speed and works gently. Even liquid additives (oleoresins, liquid flavors) are ideally and homogeneously distributed in the powder.
The mixer fills and discharges automatically:
1) Standard barrel is moved in with a hand pallet truck and fixed with a clamping ring.
2) + 3) System rotates. The mixing goods flow from the drum into the mixer.
4a) Mixing process takes place.
4b) Optional operation of the cutting rotor. After that, the entire system rotates to Pos. 1. The homogeneous mixing goods are in the standard drum.
5) Cleaning/Inspection: Mixing chamber floor is opened.
The drum (standardized stainless steel drum of 50, 100, 150 or 200 liters) of the mixer is transported to the mixer by a hand lift truck. It is automatically locked, lifted and forms a gas-tight unit with the mixer. Filling of the mixer is automatic.
