Better Blending In Less Time
What is the Powder Mixer?
The Powder Mixer is a high-performance, compact system designed to quickly and efficiently blend wet and dry ingredients into a fluid stream. It delivers consistent, reliable mixing even as product viscosity increases, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. The Powder Mixer combines the powder induction capabilities of Fristam’s FZX liquid ring pump or FDS twin screw pump with the thorough blending action of the FS Shear Blender, providing a powerful, all-in-one solution for complex mixing tasks.
Where is the Powder Mixer Used?
Powder Mixer is used across various industries where precise blending of dry powders and viscous liquids is required, including food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and cosmetics. It’s ideal for products like sauces, creams, beverages, gels, hand sanitizers, nutritional powders, and more.
How Does the Powder Mixer Work?
The Powder Mixer operates in-line, providing continuous blending without the need for time-consuming batch processes. The system first uses the Fristam FZX 2100 pump to draw in dry powders, then mixes them thoroughly with liquids in the FS 3521 Shear Blender. This combined action results in highly efficient, consistent dispersion. The powder is wetted and fully dispersed on the first pass through the system, significantly reducing the time and energy typically required for traditional batch mixing methods. The ability to handle high viscosities up to 1 million centipoise ensures that even the most challenging mixtures are processed effectively.
Key Advantages of the Powder Mixer:
• Dramatically reduces process times: The in-line mixing process reduces blending times by up to 90% compared to traditional methods.
• Produces consistent batches: With precise control over the mixing process, the Powder Mixer ensures uniformity across all batches.
• Devours lumps, clumps, and fisheyes: The powerful blending action eliminates agglomerations and ensures smooth, homogenous results.
• Cleans in place: The Powder Mixer is designed for easy cleaning, allowing for quick and efficient sanitation between batches.
• Is fully customizable: The system is available in various sizes, configurations, and options to meet specific production needs.
Key Benefits of the Powder Mixer:
• Floor-Level Operation: With its compact design, the Powder Mixer operates at floor level, eliminating the need for dangerous ladder climbing or heavy lifting of equipment. All models are portable with locking wheels, allowing easy relocation to different processes throughout the production facility.
