PRODUCTION OF BROTHS AND ICE-CREAM DRY PREMIXES

RB3RC03200DCD

The Challenge

A major global player in the production of gelato bases and broth mixes commissioned us to supply a mixer to expand their main production facility.

The double concentric, counter-rotating ribbon blender is designed to handle very high production volumes and must be mounted on an elevated supporting frame.

To match the facility's specific workflow, the unit is configured for forklift-operated big-bag loading. Additionally, it operates as a completely standalone system.

The MC² Solution

  • Mixer model: RB3RC03200DCD batch ribbon blender
  • Maximum working capacity: 5,000 litres
  • Material of construction: 316L stainless steel U-trough and end plates
  • 316L stainless steel rotor shaft, with air-purged seals
  • End supports completely made of 304L stainless steel
  • Mixing tools: 4 concentric, counter-rotating ribbon flights in 316L stainless steel
  • 2 off. lateral extra-large hinged lids, custom-made, with hinged safety grids, interlocks, gas-springs (for fork-lift loading operations)
  • 1 off. small hinged lid with bolted safety grid, with interlock (for manual loading)
  • 1 off. round flanged vent port
  • 1 off. flanged round discharge outlet, with flush-fit trapdoor and electropneumatic actuation
  • Finishing of parts in contact with the product: satin polishing to a Ra ≤1.6 μm
  • Separate drive with flexible pin coupling, in right-angle layout, 30 kW electric motor
  • 1 off. electric junction box in 304L stainless steel
  • 1 off. control panel, with PLC, main motor inverter, colour touchscreen, software to control all operations (main shaft, discharge doors) with programmable recipes and mixing times/offsets, integration with all safety devices, alarms, emergencies, in line with Industry 4.0 requirements
  • Supporting frame in 304L stainless steel, with adjustable feet
