Fat coating of decorating sugar
Powder particles must be completely coated. The coating material should be used sparingly. The coating material must be liquefied for distribution. This improves the wetting properties in the mixer/ blender. The end product should be free-flowing as bulk material and the coating should be sufficiently abrasion-resistant.…
amixon® mixers for instant soups and sauces
The recipe of the mixture in this mixing task is very complex. The components consist of large, small, round, square, and rectangular particles, such as: dried vegetables, ground spices, natural aromas, liquid extracts, stabilizers, enzymes and many others.
Excursus: HM twin-shaft mixer for preparing baking powder powder
amixon® powder mixer with 2 m³ usable volume. Designed for particularly fast and gentle preparation of baking agents. The powders in a baking agent are usually dusty and finely dispersed. The powdery baking mix components have different affinities towards the liquid phase. Some powders absorb a present liquid very
Hygienic design and HACCP for mixing powdery or moist food and pharmaceutical products
If a production plant can empty itself, cleaning is easier. amixon ® mixers have a very good self-cleaning effect. All but a few grams of dust are discharged from the mixer. This makes dry and wet cleaning easier.
Wet cleaning of powder mixers; automatic or manual; Washing in Place (WIP)
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…
Rheology of liquids in the context of powder mixing
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…
