amixon® large-scale mixers for baby food ensure the highest quality standards.

amixon® offers three mixing technologies for baby, infant and premature baby food: In addition to quasi-continuous batch mixing and mixing in a continuous kettle stream, amixon® offers a third method of powder mixing.

In the best case, the baby food is ready when it is discharged from the spray tower/fluidised bed agglomerator in an agglomerated state. It is a powder that dissolves quickly in water, tastes good and has a high nutritional value.

Some vitamins and trace elements are broken down during drying in the spray tower. This is due to the high drying temperatures. Therefore, they are added to the powder afterwards. This is done particularly conveniently with the help of amixon® mixers. They are characterised by high mixing quality and excellent hygienic properties. In addition, they mix particularly gently and quickly.

Encapsulated omega-3 fatty acids and probiotics such as lactobacilli or bifidobacteria can also be incorporated into baby food using the amixon® mixer. These are obtained from yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi or miso.

Spray-dried instant powders: particle retention versus mixing intensity

Amixon® solves conflicting goals: On the one hand, micro-ingredients such as probiotics or prebiotics, vitamins, minerals and trace elements such as zinc, copper, selenium or chromium should be precisely distributed in baby food. On the other hand, the typical instant properties and dust-free flow behaviour of the powders should be retained. This means that the sensitive agglomerates must be retained during mixing.

This is only possible if the mixing tools of the mixer rotate slowly and still mix well. amixon® offers an excellent solution for large batches with this twin-shaft mixer.

Modern filling machines can fill baby food at high speed. Up to 20 m³ per hour, which corresponds to about 10 tons per hour. amixon® double shaft mixers are designed for such and higher production capacities. A mixing spiral is designed to convey about a quarter of the batch volume per revolution.

The bulk material flows upwards in a spiral. Once there, it flows back down along the mixing shafts due to gravity. The mixing effect takes place three-dimensionally in the boundary areas between the two macro-flows. This leads to a three-dimensional distribution of the particles. The entire volume of the mixer is covered.

Due to the dead space-free flow, a technically ideal mixing quality is achieved after approx. 20 to 90 revolutions. This mixing quality (ideal random distribution) cannot be improved in practice. The amixon® mixing process is uniquely energy efficient. The circumferential speed of the mixing tool is usually between 0.5 m/s and 2 m/s and is adjustable.

Due to the design of the amixon® powder mixers, ideal mixing qualities are achieved even at a filling level of approx. 10-15 %.

Every new purchase is preceded by a thorough test

Mixing machines have a long service life. This makes it all the more important to be equipped for the challenges of the future.
