Cyclomix line extended Hosokawa Micron is launching a new concept for mid-size Cyclomix high shear powder mixing systems with exchangeable product bowls of 5 litres and 15 litres. Based on the successful Cyclomix technology, this concept will provide even more versatility for customers. The systems will be available with a range of options allowing users to select the optimal configuration. Thanks to exchangeable 5-litre and 15-litre product bowls, customers can use a single drive unit with ancillaries and only need to adjust the product bowl to suit their needs. The modular design includes options for: * Cooling by tap water or water chiller * Standard or pharma control system * Lip seal or mechanical seal for the rotor * Standalone or 'through the wall' design * Lift to support bowl changing This system will fit into the Cyclomix range in between the Mini Cyclomix for R&D purposes and the larger Cyclomix concept which is suitable for bowls of 50 litres, 75 litres and 100 litres.

with the AVA HVW series Modern mixing processes in the food industry place high demands on the machine equipment to achieve maximum economy and optimum product quality. Precision is a decisive criterion for an effective production process and a high-quality, safe end product. For this purpose, AVA has consistently optimized its vertical mixer series HVW for precision at every point. The main task of the mixer is to realize an absolutely homogeneous mixing result in the shortest possible time. The most valuable and sensitive raw materials must not be impaired. The precise and comfortable mixing control of the AVA HVW series makes it possible to individually adjust all parameters of the mixing process to the respective product requirements. Present formulations require the addition and mixing of even small amounts of additives. These can be precisely metered in the AVA mixer. A product-compatible addition of the different solids and liquids supports the mixing process right from the start and

New order for sinter dust mixer The heavy-duty applications inside the steelwork industry fit perfectly to the AVA horizontal mixing technology. Last month another order could be won. For the Czech steel plant, AVA will deliver a humidification mixer for sinter dust. The task: Sinter dust collected in filters will be treated with water. The final product is an easy transportable, fully dust free bulk product. The AVA mixer will replace an existing double shaft mixer with poor performance. The customer was impressed from the wide experiences AVA has in that field and finally decided after a test run with his product in the AVA labs. AVA is included in other improvement budgets as well, such as a new intensive mixer for sinter raw material (replacing a drum mixer) and a coal mixer in the coke plant. If there are any steel plants in your sales region, please get in touch with us. We will tell you in which parts AVA machines could be used as well as our advantages against other,

amixon® Conical mixer Type AM The real innovation of the amixon® AM-type mixer does not only lie in the conical floor, but also in the patented SinConvex®-mixing tool. The design allows ideal mixture qualities to be achieved even from a filling level of just 5 percent. The upward screwing of the mixture takes place forcibly by means of the helical spring mixing tool, while the downward flow takes place naturally due to the effect of gravity. The changing of places within the particle system takes place at the interfaces in between. The flow effect takes place in the same way, independently of the filling level. All amixon® mixers bear superb hygiene characteristics: the machines can be used as sterile mixers in compliance with FDA regulations. They also fulfil EHEDG requirements and the 3a Sanitary Standards. amixon® ensures comfortable accessibility and a view inside the mixing chamber by means of its generously sized inspection doors. Hence, manual dry cleaning can be carried out quickly

Mid-intensity mixing The Vitomix: Fast and Compact Hosokawa Micron B.V. has developed a new mixer under the name Vitomix. This mixer bridges the gap between low shear and high shear mixing. Striking aspect is its extremely compact design. Thanks to a partly cylindrical structure, an adapted conical shape and bottom, the same volume is achieved with a considerably reduced structural height. The Vitomix has a double ribbon screw. Linear screw speeds of 4.5 m/s can be achieved. Thanks to the higher speed and mixing intensity, Vitomix mixers can achieve higher output, power consumptions of up to 30 kW are common. The construction of the drive arm is designed in such a way that blind angles and dead zones are almost completely eliminated, resulting in minimal residue formation. The construction of the access door has been adapted. The door and opening are cut under an angle of 45° with the aid of water-jet cutting Technology which guarantees an optimal dust- and watertight sealing. Two
