STIRRER/BLENDER FOR SUGAR PREMIXES

RB2RC01500DD

The Challenge

For a leading manufacturer of instant beverage premixes, we were asked to supply a 4-way ribbon blender/stirrer to be installed beneath an MC² ploughshare mixer (included in the same supply).

The sugar-based mixture, containing flavours and additives, must be transferred to the packaging department via a dense phase pneumatic conveying system

However, due to the hygroscopic nature of sugars and their tendency to crystallize and agglomerate, a stirrer was required to prevent this process by keeping the premix under constant agitation.

The MC² Solution

  • Mixer model: RB2RC01500DD batch ribbon blender
  • Maximum working capacity: 2,400 litres
  • Material of construction: 304L stainless steel U-trough and end plates
  • 304L stainless steel rotor shaft, with air-purged seals and temperature sensors
  • Mixing tools: 4 concentric, counter-rotating ribbon flights in 304L stainless steel
  • 1 off. bolted lid
  • 1 off. flanged round inlet, custom-made
  • 1 off. round flanged vent port
  • 1 off. flanged round discharge outlet, with flush-fit trapdoor and electropneumatic actuation, flanged to a dense phase pneumatic conveying system installed below it
  • 2 off. frontal side-hinged inspection doors, horizontal opening, with interlocks
  • Finishing of parts in contact with the product: satin polishing to a Ra ≤0.8 μm
  • Direct drive, with supporting bracket directly flanged to end plate, complete with an 18.5 kW electric motor
  • All electric components rated ATEX zone 22 compliant (motor, interlocks, solenoids and coils)

Key Benefits

  • Gentle, constant and slow mixing action, ideal for fragile and light materials
  • Delicate agitation of premix to avoid agglomeration and crystallisation of materials without affecting the quality of the formulation
  • Low installed power, low energy consumption
  • Compact layout, minimum footprint
  • Quick and easy cleaning operations, thanks to the low roughness internal surfaces, the frontal inspection doors and the food-grade configuration
  • Outstanding return on investment
