HIGH-QUALITY BAKING POWDER PREMIXES

The Challenge

For a new plant producing premium-quality leavening agents, we were approached to supply a 1,300-litre batch stainless steel ploughshare mixer.

The unit must be equipped with circular inlets and vent ports, side refiners to maximise micro-ingredient homogenisation, and injection wands for liquid and oil additions.

Furthermore, due to the characteristics of certain ingredients, the mixer required full compliance certification for ATEX Zone 20 (internal) and Zone 22 (external) hazardous areas.
