Liquid Addition During Blending
Liquid Addition During Blending
A revolutionary development to expand the range of IBC powder blending to increase efficiency and reduce risks.
Automatically inject liquids directly into a powder mix, enclosed within an Intermediate Bulk Container during its blender rotation cycle, without manual intervention or the need to open the blending vessel.
Description
Add liquid during blending
As consumer demand is continually changing, manufacturers must have flexible and efficient production processes to stay ahead of their competition. Until now, if a powder blend required liquid addition, it was necessary to use a Fixed Powder Blender or Mixer, which can be difficult and time-consuming to clean between recipe changeovers.
Invented and developed by Matcon, our innovative Liquid Addition System expands the range of the IBC tumble blender and is well suited to industries that need the flexibility to mix a wide range of powder recipes in a contained and efficient manner.
Advantages
Reduce manual handling and contamination risk
This flexible and hygienic system will reduce manual handling and improve containment, further enhancing the benefits of IBC Blending.
- Rapid integration of liquid through high shear mixing
- Remove the need for two-stage blending
- Maintain containment as liquids are injected during blending
- Control the amount of liquid injected for accurate dispersion
- Reduce ‘live’ manual handling - the liquid tank is filled offline ready for mixing
- Deliver pre-programmed recipes for ease of use
- Change out parts can be cleaned ‘offline’ to keep the blender in production
Applications
Automated, even dispersion of liquids
- Rapid integration of liquid through high shear mixing.
- Injection directly into powder mass at Intensifier blade tip while tumble blending via rotary union.
- Deliver additions of liquids in the range of 5-150 litres. 200-800g typical injected amount per revolution.
- Loss-in-weight monitoring on liquid tank.
