The Challenge
For a prestigious client, a world leader in dry food products, we manufactured a flour paddle mixer to replace an old ribbon blender on a production line at one of their overseas facilities.
The products to be processed consist of various types of flour used to manufacture biscuits and bread premixes.
The client's primary requirement was to upgrade to a high-performance production system with an increased hourly throughput, while keeping the existing plant infrastructure interface with the mixer completely unaltered.
We therefore engineered a 'bespoke' 304L stainless steel mixer featuring lowered end plates and a modified central discharge outlet with electropneumatic actuation. To ensure superior and faster cleaning of the drum interior, we equipped the machine with paddle mixing tools welded directly to the rotor shaft, a full-length inspection door, and a high-grade internal drum surface finish.
