Modular system solution for efficient mixing, conveying, and filling
Modular system combining a Prodima mixer, hopper, and conveyor optimizes powder processing. It boosts efficiency, cuts downtime, and maintains high mixing quality for food, pharma, and chemical industries in a compact footprint. How can mixing quality, productivity, and flexibility be optimally combined in a compact production plant? This question was posed by a manufacturer of powder products across all industrial sectors as part of modernizing their production.
After extensive mixing trials, the decision was made in favor of a modular system combination consisting of a mobile Prodima mixer MP-150 (mixing volume approx. 130 liters), an intermediate hopper, a flexible mechanical conveyor, and an existing filling system.
The main factors influencing this system configuration were, in particular, the high mixing accuracy, short mixing times, the flexible useful volume of min. 10%, max. 90% of the mixer, as well as low energy consumption. Additionally, the mobility of the mobile mixer allows the same mixer to be used on multiple production lines if required.
After the mixing process, the product is discharged into an intermediate hopper. While the flexible screw conveyor continuously transports…
