In mixing plants that process dry materials, water is reluctant to tolerate. Water or high humidity in the ambient air can negatively influence the powder quality; especially if bulk materials are hygroscopic. Quality assurance goes out of control when microbiological processes are unintentionally triggered in the mix that…

The powder mixer is equipped with the intelligent DosiFlap® closure fitting. Bags or bulk containers can be connected directly to the mixer for filling.

We address our questions to a successful wholesale baker who runs his business in the 4th generation as a family business. He has around 150 employees (f/m/d). His baking business is located in Germany, on the periphery of a city with a population of about 170,000.

In this blog post, we will look at a key aspect of powder moistening: the influence of the rheological properties of different liquids on the mixing result. Rheology has a decisive influence on how a liquid flows, how it behaves under shear stress and how well it can wet powder particles. These relationships have a direct…

80 experts in bulk solids process engineering met at amixon GmbH in Paderborn on 18 September. The topic was bulk solids in dry, moist or wet conditions.

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.

In almost all industries where substances are refined or modified, bulk materials are conveyed, mixed and packaged. The 8th Paderborn Mixing Technology Symposium, held on 30 and 31 October 2018, offered numerous users from the food industry a two-day lecture programme covering a wide range of topics related to bulk…

amixon® twin-shaft mixers for baking agents, decors, fat coatings and snack products have a wide range of applications. Depending on the mode of operation of the amixon® powder mixer, the end product is a bulk material, a doughy mass or "moist flaky".

Fruits, tea leaves, air-dried or freeze-dried spices of widely differing sizes and weights should be blended gently and homogenously.

What do you recommend when powdery substances are modified or newly developed? ... or  if a powdery product should be produced with a new process technology? How can you pilot the transition from laboratory scale to industrial scale? We are approached with these questions from a wide variety of industries.

The product spectrum of spice factories extends far beyond spices, spice mixtures and spice preparations. It actually concerns everything that the nutrient industry needs. This even includes powdered starter cultures. amixon® mixers can homogenise gently and deagglomerate intensively with high energy input.

The use of optical scanning systems and articulated-arm measuring systems accelerates our manufacturing processes. As part of our quality assurance, we collect highly precise measurement data from the finished machines. We can also measure the free-form surfaces of our mixing tools to an accuracy of a tenth of a millimetre.
