Solution for Complete Discharge of Mixers to be Displayed at POWTECH

If creating the ideal mixed product is the sole objective, almost all kinds of mixers on the market are able to achieve this. However, if complete discharge of the mixed product is also required, the choice of mixers is a lot more limited.

amixon has developed a patented solution known as ComDisc, an abbreviation of ‘complete discharge’. It is a new system applied to flat bottom mixers, providing up to 99.997% carry out of the mixed product.

The lower mixing arm is fitted with ComDisc tools. During the mixing process, the tools float through the mixing goods. As they move in the shadow of the product flow, they do not touch the bottom of the mixer. As the filling level decreases, the ComDisc tools move down and wipe out the residues of the mixing goods towards the outlet. This process takes place without de-mixing.

ComDisc patented tools are made of very durable, FDA approved plastic that is largely non-adhesive and suffers minimal wear. They are installed in such a way that they will not get lost. The design of the tools is approved for dry and wet cleaning.

Together with the SinConvex helical mixing tool, ComDisc is able to achieve a nearly complete discharge of the mixed goods. This way, cleaning times can be reduced and raw material is saved. The whole mixing process is more hygienic and almost without cross contamination.

The advantages that ComDisc can provide are not only available for new amixon mixers, as these tools can also be retrofitted to existing flat bottom mixing machines.

amixon will be exhibiting at POWTECH 2013, 23–25 April, Nuremberg, Germany, Hall 1, Stand 304.
