Design

Designed in Denmark according to EHEDG, EC 1935 (food contact materials) and CE marked. The MixSing Pilot is designed to perform multiple processes from low to high viscosity recombined homogenous products with or without particles.
The mixer is equipped with jacket heating or cooling, with the option of direct steam injection and flash cooling.
A scrape agitator provides efficient cleaning of the tank wall as well as further mixing of the product. The scrape agitator system is designed without any loose parts inside the tank and is provided with quality PEEK materials for the scraper blades. The PEEK material can withstand high temperatures and is resistant to CIP chemicals. The blades can be supplied in blue colour material which is metal detectable.
The mixer is designed for pneumatical dosing of powders below the liquid surface by the vacuum system.
The vacuum system on the mixer lowers the amount of incorporated air in the final product
A nitrogen purge/blanket system is incorporated into the system.
Using the latest CFD technologies and 3D design tools, the mixer has been optimised to achieve low utility consumptions and noise emissions below 78 dB(a). A 160 mm diameter high shear unit tested on water at 2,600 rpm resulted in a 75 dB(a) noise emission. Further, material choice and strength have been evaluated and documented by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and PV Elite®. Designed for full vacuum to +0.5 bar(g) pressure according to EN 13445 part 3 as a non-certified pressure vessel.
To achieve a cost-effective service, the mixer is designed using globally available quality components from OEM suppliers. Brands can be adapted to local requirements.

Operation

Ingredients are manually filled into one of the hoppers or through the manway. From the hoppers, the ingredients are conveyed pneumatically into the mixer by opening the manual valves. Micro ingredients to be dosed through a small, dedicated funnel on top of the mixer.
In the high shear mixer, a stable emulsion is formed (homogenised) and particles will be reduced in size.
A scrape agitator keeps the walls free of build-ups. The scraper is used to keep the high-viscosity products in movement, the wall clean, and to reduces the risk of burnt particles.
Larger particles can be dosed through the manway. The particles are homogeneously distributed in the tank by the high shear mixer and the scrape agitator.
For temperature adjustment, of the product the tank jacket can operate using steam, hot and cold water for the adjustment. Further, a direct culinary steam injection allows for fast and high temperature heating of the product. A flash cooling system to cool the product inside the tank can be installed.
Nitrogen can be injected as purge to reduce oxygen levels and or as blanket to minimise oxidation.
The operation of the MixSing Pilot is performed from the skid mounted HMI touch panel. The system is controlled by a PLC and comes with frequency converters for all motors. All process steps are automatically controlled and monitored.
The MixSing Pilot is a batch system.

Customisation

Fully flexible in design – although the MixSing Pilot is designed based on industry-leading experience – your customisation requirements can be incorporated. To the extreme, we can customise everything to accommodate your specific requirements (brands, materials, dimensions etc).
