Machine homogenisation of sensitive, high-quality vegetable seeds on a large scale, without damaging the seeds. It seemed an ambitious project: homogenising large quantities of fragile, high-quality vegetable seeds by machine without causing any damage to the seeds. Nevertheless, in collaboration with Rijk Zwaan, a global player in vegetable breeding, Lindor successfully developed a mixer which homogenises and blends seeds and fruit crops while maintaining a consistent quality. “Cucumber seed is very fragile which, once damaged, you can’t sell. Lindor’s gentle touch technology is a perfect match for our products”, says René Hendriks, team leader of Operations Support at Rijk Zwaan. Homogenise shape and size Continuous innovation is essential if, as an international player, you want to deliver top quality and participate in the development of new varieties, a company philosophy that Rijk Zwaan embraces. However, it becomes a lot more challenging when you’re dealing with a delicate product that also has to be packed precisely to the gram. “We pack spinach seeds

Michael Kaiser, salesmanager Lindor Germany: Lindor will benefit from corona from 2021 onwards. Lindor is known for its innovative spirit, high-end technology, and responsiveness to new opportunities in a changing market. As a global supplier of powder and granular mixers, coolers and impregnation, coating and drying systems, Lindor is one of the main players in niche markets, which, despite the corona crisis, are facing a bright future. These are the words of Michael Kaiser, sales manager of Lindor Germany: ‘Lindor will benefit from corona from 2021 onwards. Innovative, high-quality companies will emerge from the crisis undiminished.’ The demand for food and drink will always be there. Even during the disruptive market crisis we are currently experiencing, the demand for food processing machinery will be unaffected. However, according to Kaiser, Lindor is being forced to innovate more than ever as the corona crisis means that the world will need to digitize at a rapid pace. But it is still mainly trends that, according to the sales manager, guide the company`s

Because of coronavirus, many trade fairs and events did not take place last year. A missed opportunity to meet and show you our latest developments. We have not been idle over the past year, and have been working on some special and challenging projects that we would like to share with you. Mixer-Cooler for battery powder Lindor has developed two large Mixer-Coolers for the production of battery powders for a large international project. Despite the corona pandemic, the project provided a rewarding international cooperation between the European customer, a Chinese engineering team and a Scandinavian installation team. The Mixer-Coolers feature a new technical innovation, in which a very thin, heat-conducting ceramic coating is applied to all contact parts. This ensures that no contact occurs between the battery powder and the metal of the drum wall. The drum itself has a double wall and double vanes through which cooling water flows as the drum rotates. Due to the

Did you know that our mixers can very gently mix brittle dried insects and even live matter, such as insect eggs? Our drum mixer with ‘gentle touch’ technology is located in the breeding grounds of a renowned insect breeder in Asia, and provides insect eggs with a nourishing shell. Once hatched, the little ones imagine themselves to be in the land of plenty, which stimulates them to transform faster. Billions of eggs When processing insect eggs, it’s more about volume and less about weight. Just one gram contains 40 - 50 thousand eggs. It’s a huge challenge to mix millions of eggs homogeneously with another solid, and to still keep them alive in the process. By applying our ‘gentle touch technology’, more than 97 percent of the eggs emerge from the mixing process undamaged. This is because our mixer works in batches for optimal mixing. Successful trials Extensive trials at the Lindor test centre show that the Gentle Touch drum mixer perfectly mixes a batch

For our recent client, manufacturer of special cosmetics, Lindor`s unique gentle-touch technology proves to be a perfect solution for mixing sensitive substances. “Gentle-touch technology is a huge improvement for a safer production process,” says the operations manager, talking about the purchase of the Lindor L1500 mixer. The mixing machine is at the heart of production. It ensures that different ingredients, such as fine powders, granulates and natural products, are well mixed and processed into the required end product. Very sensitive, fragile products require a different way of processing. To meet this demand, Lindor developed gentle-touch technology, an efficient way of mixing. This uses natural gravity without the risk of breakage, heat or smearing by friction. Explosive substances Thorough and quick mixing can be dangerous when working with sensitive or even explosive substances, as in this case. As there were doubts about the quality and safety of the

It is becoming increasingly important to mix cocoa very meticulously For consumers, price is not the most important aspect, it’s the quality of the chocolate. Our gentle touch mixing technology fully complies with this trend. Without any concessions to the quality, texture and flavour, Lindor mixers mix the cocoa powders and, where required, the beans, with batches of other products. Gravity does most of the work Fixed vanes in a rotating drum carry the beans around, while gravity does the work of mixing the product. Apart from gravity, no other force is exerted on the product in a Lindor mixer, as is usually the case with other mixers. There is no (frictional) heat, the powder particles and the beans remain intact, are not deformed and oils and fats are not forced out. This unique method also has animportant advantage: very low power consumption of less than 1kW for a batch of 500kg. The design also has its advantages. Because of the shape of the vanes, the mixing time is very short, it empties quickly and completely, and is
