The Challenge
We were approached by a client requiring a unit to process large volumes of food waste. The challenge was to supply a continuous mixer capable of handling highly inconsistent input materials at a required throughput of approximately 20 m³/h.
The mixer receives highly non-homogenous products with a high moisture content. Given the varying characteristics of the ingredients—consisting of heavily expired food items in the initial stages of decomposition—the unit must maintain operational flexibility regarding throughput and retention time, despite operating within a continuous plant layout.
