Which category of continuous agglomerators is suitable for improving instant products?
Suitable processes include pneumatically generated fluidised beds and flow-through mixers in a horizontal or vertical design. They enable uniform wetting and product movement. Homogeneous wetting is a basic prerequisite for good agglomeration and solubility.
Pneumatic fluidised beds are also well suited to drying. Flow-through mixers mix continuously and can be adapted well to different types of bulk material.
How amixon® improves the instant properties of bulk materials
The AMK mixing system improves the instant properties of bulk materials. With the help of the AMK mixing system, bulk materials can be wetted and agglomerated continuously. Controlled product movement and moistening are decisive here. Only in this way is a homogeneous distribution of liquids, binders or functional additives possible without unnecessarily compacting the product.
The AMK is particularly suitable where a gentle but at the same time precise mixing process is required. Dusts can be bound in this way. What matters here is that the particle structures have a high porosity, since this improves the wettability, solubility and dispersibility of the end product and thus also its instant properties.
Where gentle product preparation is the priority, the process characteristics of horizontally operating ring-layer systems are usually less suitable for this task.
amixon® supports its customers not only with the appropriate plant technology, but also with process trials in its own pilot plant and an application-related design. This produces a solution matched to the particular bulk material and the desired instant quality.
