The ceramic refractory materials are produced with the highest mixing quality. A dosing system is available for each of the five different components. The entire plant stands on load cells that provide the control signals for the product flow.

In contrast to conventional continuous mixers, there is no product loss at the start of the mixing campaign, according to amixon®. During the mixing process, the dosing units orient themselves to the quantity of the main components. The system constantly corrects itself down to tolerable deviations that are not registered in the finished mixture. For mixing complex special formulations, the apparatus can also be operated in batches. A batch mixing process in the 10,000-liter vessel takes about four to six minutes. The ready-for-sale material can be filled directly into silo trucks. Ideal mixing qualities are achieved at permissible filling levels of 20% to 100%, so that even smaller mixing jobs can be produced with high quality and reproducibility.

In the case of frequently changing batches, complete emptying is particularly important in order to avoid carryover. The conical mixer discharges to within 0.001 percent. Installed air nozzles are actuated in pulses with 6 bar compressed air and remove dust residues.
