Gentle mixing, precise distribution: Mixing technology for muesli and cereal production
From a processing standpoint, muesli is more complex than its rustic image might suggest. The combination of rolled oats, seeds, nuts, chocolate chips, and dried fruit results in a mixture with widely varying particle sizes, bulk densities, and mechanical sensitivities—and that is precisely what makes the mixing process the…
The Invisible Ingredient: Why the Mixing Process Determines the Quality of Every Baking Product
The production of baking ingredients is more complex than it appears from the outside. Often involving over 50 components, liquid additives, avoiding allergens, and daily recipe changes. amixon® from Paderborn supplies the mixing systems that make this manageable.
amixon® mixer/dryer for lithium salts
Lithium hydroxide must be extremely pure and dry for use in lithium-ion batteries. amixon®-vacuum-mixer-dryer can dry lithium salts quickly and efficiently (despite the highest hydration enthalpy). The crystalline particle structure is retained, using amixon® blenders.
Hollow sphere mixer for bulk materials: SpherHelics®
The ball mixers and hollow ball mixers from amixon® carry the SpherHelics® brand. In the hollow ball mixer from amixon®, the mixing shaft rotates around a vertical or inclined axis. More than 30 different amixon® mixers are available for testing in the technical centre. All mixers achieve the highest mixing quality.
amixon® helps with the dimensioning of large vacuum mixer dryer systems
Successful tests in the pilot plant are the basic prerequisite for a well-functioning vacuum drying process. Thermodynamic calculations enable a safe scale-up of drying plants that are many times larger than the test plant. amixon® has 4 test plants (200 liters) in Paderborn. amixon® can safely design large dryers that are,…
Lithium-ion batteries: Recycling valuable materials
The increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries and the scarcity of the required raw materials call for action: Future lithium-ion batteries must be recyclable. The recycling process must be more efficient than primary extraction. amixon® makes two contributions to this: Thermal separation and homogenisation.
