As specialist in powder processing technology Hosokawa Micron B.V. has developed a new powder mixing sensor. With this sensor the mixing of powders can be followed on-line. Operators are now able to see when the mixing process is complete and so the optimum mixing time for every batch can be obtained. In many cases this will result in a reduction of the mixing time. The other main advantage is the ability to let the sensor contribute to the quality control of your product. The sensor measures the reflection of light and from this signal a mixing index is calculated. For the same end product the end-level of the mixing index is the same. The sensor is not developed for quality assurance, but to give the operator insight into the quality control of the product. This quality information is available right at the end of the mixing process.

The sensor can be applied in all powder mixing industries including food and pharma. The sensor can also be delivered as an ATEX-version. As standard a local display is installed, which optionally can be connected to remote monitoring systems.
