Mixer dryer synthesis reactors for active pharmaceutical ingredients (API)
Active pharmaceutical ingredients are produced either by chemical synthesis or by biotechnological processes using a ‘wet method’. The fluids behave differently, ... like a solution, like an emulsion, like a suspension or like a plastic mass. The rheological properties of the reaction partners often change as the…
amixon® mixers for "seafood" instant products
More and more people are choosing to follow a "pesco-vegetarian" diet. This means that meat is avoided for various reasons. In addition to the vegetarian diet, all types of seafood are also accepted. amixon® mixers/ blenders are used for the production of high-quality instant ready meals.
Feed mixer for milk replacement feed, milk replacer
A milk replacer must be easily digestible for the young animal. Its formula is therefore adapted to the age and the stage of development of the digestive organs. The mixing task is ambitious. The powdered milk derivatives must be gently homogenized so that they can be quickly dissolved in water by the user - as instant…
Fermentation in the amixon® fermenter reactor
Bacteria, fungi and enzymes help produce pharmaceuticals, for example penicillin. Fermentation is used to modify starch, preserve food, polymerize environmentally friendly plastics, purify rare earths, produce alcohol, biogas, cheese, yogurt, yeast, baking dough or vinegar.
Mixers, reactors for powdered thickeners, binders, stabilisers
Thickeners optimise the viscosity of liquids. They must be chemically neutral and have no effect on colour and taste. In addition, thickeners can stabilise emulsions and suspensions. amixon® mixers homogenise and improve the properties of powdered thickeners.
Evaporation, crystallization, thermal thickening and drying of liquids in one apparatus
The aim of evaporation is to increase the concentration of solids in the liquid by evaporation. Evaporation is strongest when the liquid is boiling. The boiling temperature drops when a vacuum is applied. In the amixon® apparatus you can evaporate, thicken, mix, apply vacuum and also dry solids.
Distribution of flow aid, anti-caking aid, pouring aid into powder by mixing
The quality of a powder or a powder mixture is first determined by the purity and effectiveness of the ingredients. A powder is more effective the more specific surface area it has; that is, the finer it is ground. This means that the finer it is ground. For example, small quantities of a color pigment should be sufficient…
Blending bulk materials, maintaining particle structures and avoiding dust
Wherever powdery goods are processed, dusts occur. Their unpleasant property is that they can escape through the smallest of leaks. For example, from big bags, mixers, silos, pipelines or from filling/ packing plants. Dust can remain suspended in the air for a long time and be deposited everywhere.
