The new GMS Laboratory Mixer brings the superb mixing quality and speed of the GMS family to laboratory and R&D batch sizes, with useable volumes from 1 to 20 l. The GMS double shaft Mixers from Gericke are well known for fast and gentle mixing. The new GMS Laboratory Mixer brings the superb mixing quality and speed of the GMS family to laboratory and R&D batch sizes, with useable volumes from 1 to 20 l. Same mixing principle The GMS laboratory Mixers are based on the mixing principle used in the larger GMS Mixers (available in sizes up to 5’000 l). With two horizontally arranged, superimposed mixing tools, a fluidized zone is created. This allows fast and efficient but gentle mixing. It operates at the optimal Froude number of 1.1, helping to preserve your high-quality ingredients. Modular design, easy dismantling With its low minimal filling volume the GMS Laboratory Mixer reduces R&D costs. The modular design supports interchangeable mixing chambers and easy dismantling of the mixing tools giving additional flexibility and making the mixer very easy to clean. The mixing chamber can even be sterilized out of place. Direct

The comprehensive approach of hygienic design takes into account construction details as well as production peripherals and employee behaviour. Process technology machines and machine line parts in pharmaceutical production or food manufacturing, including those from Lödige Process Technology, are known to have to meet the highest hygienic standards. But how can these be implemented in practice? In other words: What are the potential risks and how can they be systematically avoided? Answers are provided by the comprehensive approach of hygienic design, which takes into account construction details as well as production peripherals and employee behaviour. Hygienic design in process technology The example of mixing shows what hygienic design in process technology means in concrete terms: Mixing is one of the elementary processes in the process industry. Mixers guarantee the quality of food products as well as the consistent dosage of ingredients or pharmaceutically active components. An important aspect of hygienic design is therefore the cleanable layout of the mixer, including all parts coming in contact

Mixing bulk goods Whether the material you need to process is powdered, granular or fibrous, when it comes to the preparation of bulk materials, FKM series Ploughshare® batch mixers from Gebr. Lödige Maschinenbau GmbH is the perfect equipment. The Paderborn-based mixing experts are presenting the FKM 600D at the POWTECH 2017 show. The machine allows excellent mixing results to be achieved in a very short time - with a high level of batch reproducibility. A low-maintenance mixer concept and easy access to the mixer’s inner parts guarantee maximum availability. The Ploughshare® mixer uses the mechanically generated fluid bed process developed by Lödige. Special mixing tools are arranged systematically on a shaft to achieve a three-dimensional movement of the mixing material. Thanks to this intensive yet gentle product movement, bulk products can be mixed extremely quickly and evenly. Depending on the mixing application, various equipment options are available for the mixers

A well-established all-rounder Lödige’s horizontal Ploughshare® Batch Mixers are excellently equipped to meet current production requirements in the food and pharmaceuticals industry. A FKM 1200 demonstrates the potential of these well-established mixers at Interpack. Lödige’s Ploughshare® mixers of the FKM series have been used for decades in the manufacture of high-quality foods and pharmaceutical products. The mixers are suitable for mixing all solid materials, and they also allow the addition of liquids. What is more, the Ploughshare® Batch Mixers provide a space-saving and cost-efficient alternative to vertical high-shear mixers for the moist granulation of tablet masses as part of the conventional production method for tablets. The horizontal Ploughshare® Batch Mixers of the FKM series are perfect for food and pharmaceuticals production because they combine short mixing times with a very high level of mixing precision and batch reproducibility. This is due to the mechanically

Less is more All in one – this Gebr. Lödige Maschinenbau GmbH understands to be the ability to carry out all steps of a complete process in a ”single-pot” process. Mixing, granulating, coating, drying and heating as well as cooling – all these steps can be performed in a single unit. This concept has been especially developped for the food industry. This machine was designed and built by company Lödige located in Paderborn/Germany upon request of a producer in the food industry: the machine - intended for use in the Research and Development – had to be as compact and as multifunctional as possible. The result is a real all-rounder. The ”single-pot” process achieves chemical reactions or mechanical product treatment in one single machine: several process steps can take place without having to isolate the intermediate products. Depending on the application, all reactants can be added into the machine right at the beginning of the process or one after the other as
