amixon® powder mixer with wear protection
Wear is always unwanted and sometimes the mixture is devalued if it is contaminated with abrasion. If a mixing tool rotates particularly fast, then wear increases almost with the square of the relative speed. Slow rotating amixon® mixers are advantageous in this respect when mixing goods are abrasive!
Container mixer for bulk materials
Most IBC mixing systems/ Container-Blenders are 'free fall mixers/tumblers'. Their mixing chamber is the intermediate bulk container (IBC), which is rotated or shaken. The advantages and disadvantages of 'free fall mixers' and 'precision mixers' are explained. Precision blenders have room-dominating, dynamically moving…
Excursus container mixer: amixon® conical mixer size AM 1500, filled and discharged by means of Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC)
What are typical advantages of a container-based mixing facility? A powder blending plant, which works with standard containers, can decouple its production steps 1 to 7 in terms of time and space:
Composition and weighing of the raw materials in the container (charging).
KoneSlid® mixer for the formulation of active ingredients using the example of pesticides
Homogenizing large volume flows with amixon® mixers: Modern crop protection chemicals are the results of many successive synthesis stages. In the mixer, the final preparation takes place before the powders are packaged. Then wet cleaning takes place. The claim is 0 contamination!
Powder mixing and accompanying procedures
The "powder mixing" process technology is always coupled with a wide variety of side effects. This can be seen if you look at individual mix particles microscopically. Sometimes the side effects are desired, sometimes undesired. The accompanying operations/side effects are called different names in some industries, although…
Interview with Dr. Samir Charrak

Toast flours; deactivate enzymes
In principle, enzymes are indispensable for the production of high-quality baked goods. Flours such as amaranth flour, buckwheat flour, barley flour, oat flour, millet flour, corn flour, quinoa flour, rye flour and wheat flour can be made low-germ by thermal action. The enzymes in the flour are then largely deactivated.
