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.

In this blog post, we will look at a key aspect of powder moistening: the influence of the rheological properties of different liquids on the mixing result. Rheology has a decisive influence on how a liquid flows, how it behaves under shear stress and how well it can wet powder particles. These…

Batch mixing and continuous mixing of powders requires specialised equipment. This particularly affects the product feed. An amixon® conical mixer can perform both processes.

The increasing demand for meat substitutes is prompting manufacturers to rethink their approach. Continuous production can be advantageous compared to batch production. The amixon continuous mixer works with a vertically mounted mixing shaft. It delivers equally good results as a continuous mixer…

We can also understand agglomeration built-up granulation without tools: We do dusty work and then vigorously rub our palms against each other. The small crumbs produced this way are the result of built-up agglomeration. The finest particles are compacted and roll up; in the presence of moisture…
