amixon® has developed an interesting innovation: a single-shaft powder mixing system with comparatively small dimensions. This precision powder mixer is characterized by particularly short mixing and discharging times, amongst other things.
Ideal mixing qualities and excellent particle protection are achieved in a new way with the KoneSlid® mixer. The mixing container consists of a silo-like container in whose center a large cone is inserted at the bottom. The powder mixer has a smooth, streamlined design and supports the flow process of the mixtures. Helical mixing tools convey the goods upwards in a spiral-like motion. This process takes place along the wall of the container.
Having arrived at the top, the goods slide downwards and are directed to the outside once again by the cone. The homogenization process takes place in the marginal area between the upward screwing and the downward movement. This process is gentle and effective.
After approximately 20 to 30 revolutions, an ideal mixing quality is obtained that cannot be further improved in practice. The displacer then lowers itself by a few centimeters, so that the emptying takes place quickly and without residues. The mixer usually discharges into containers, big bags or the storage tanks of a filling machine. If the discharged mixture would land in the middle of the collecting container, a cone of material would form, leading to two disadvantages.
On the one hand, the entire intake capacity cannot be used and on the other, bulk material slopes can cause segregation effects. The mixtures are discharged off-center and segregation-free from the powder mixer described here.
amixon® has test mixers in the most diverse sizes for process trials available. Good results are assured in advance.
