The Challenge
We were contacted by a prestigious overseas company to manufacture a mixer for processing potato waste. The purpose of the requested 'back-mixer' is to homogenise 20 m³/h of both dry and damp/wet products, reducing the overall moisture content of the blended material before it is transferred to the dryer. The process operates on a continuous basis.
The unit, configured as a continuous mixer, strictly required a large custom-positioned rectangular inlet built to drawing, a rectangular discharge outlet, and two inspection doors. Three side refiners and a pneumatic sampling port complete the system's configuration.
