Mixing reactor / vacuum mixing-dryer (patented)

Very gentle vacuum-drying at fast reaction rate for dry, moist and viscous materials at variable filling levels

The spiral mixing blade initiates a three-dimensional flow of the mixing goods; creating a spiral upward movement on the periphery and downward flow in the centre. The reactor is vacuum and pressure tight and heatable by steam, thermal oil or water. Fully temperature controlled: the mixing vessel, the mixing arms, the spiral blade.

The mixer can be designed to conform with FDA standards to be used as a sterile mixer and reactor which also meets EHEDG requirements and the 3a-sanitary standards.

Further characteristics:

• This jacketed and vacuum rated version is an ideal mixer, dryer, and reactor.
• Spiral tools, arms, and shaft are jacketed and heated.
• The spiral mixing tool initiates a three-dimensional flow of the goods; creating a spiral upward movement on the periphery and downward flow in the centre.
• This dryer guarantees quick and gentle drying results.
• It can be used for moist powder, wet suspensions as well as liquids, paste and dough.
• If the drying process requires deagglomeration, high speed cutting rotors may be installed.
• The mixing device is driven from the top, using only a single top bearing.
• The single-shaft mixer-dryer meets all industry standards for surface finish, including sanitary and pharmaceutical requirements, and requires a very small space.
