Lindor Advances Bulk Solids Processing with Gentle Mixing Technology

Lindor is a manufacturer of special mixers, coaters, impregnators and dryers which use gentle touch technology for processing powders, granulate and natural products. Each machine is customized for its specific application and client requirements. Our machines are used around the world for manufacturing food, fine chemicals & special plastics as well as pharmaceuticals. The unique mixing concept stands alone in that the design is entirely free of internal agitators. The outstandingly gentle but thorough mixing and blending effect is achieved by means of internally fixed, aerodynamically –shaped scoops. Lindor mixers, because of their unique mixing principle, are especially suitable for processing even the most sensitive, delicate, and/or fragile particles, granulates and powders. There is a range of available options: * liquid injection, * cryogenic mixing, * air drying and cooling * vacuum drying * CIP systems, * fully automatic controls. These mixers come in a range sizes , with volumetric capacities ranging from 10 to 25,000 litres.

Did you know that Lindor’s rotary drum mixer can be configured with an advanced coating system that makes it an ideal solution for sizing delicate fibers? This has now been proven in practice, following the successful commissioning of a 1000-liter Lindor coating mixer at a carbon fiber production facility in Europe. After an in-depth trial at Lindor’s Mixing Test Center in the Netherlands, the carbon fiber manufacturer selected the Lindor rotary drum coating mixer as the optimal solution for their processing line. The machine is now fully operational at their site and plays an integral role in their carbon fiber sizing process. This is a critical step in ensuring the fibers bond correctly with composite matrices in end-use applications like aerospace, civic constructions and automotive goods. Ideal for Fiber Sizing In the fiber production industry, applying a sizing layer is essential. Sizing improves handling, protects the fiber during processing, and enhances the adhesion between the fiber and resin in composite materials. Common methods such as dip baths or kiss rollers are widely used, but each comes with…

Later this month, Lindor will proudly showcase a shiny new 750-liter capacity mixer at the International Powder & Bulk Solids show in Rosemont, Illinois. Known around the world for our proprietary gentle mixing technology for dry bulk processing industry—this exhibition promises to be a particularly exciting one as it is our first time with an exhibitor booth on US soil. At the center of the Lindor booth will be a brand-new exhibition mixer, designed specifically to give visitors a close-up experience of the company’s unique mixing capabilities. This new unit features extra-large gull wing doors, allowing attendees to see the inside of the machine and examine the mechanics behind Lindor’s gentle mixing process. These wide openings provide a view of the internals, making it easier than ever to understand how the mixing drum, scoops, and fluid-like motion handle powders and granules with exceptional care. Lindor’s gentle touch technology is especially beneficial for fragile, heat-sensitive, or sensitive materials. From food ingredients and pharmaceuticals to specialty chemicals and detergents, producers worldwide…

At its new home in Germany, a custom-designed mixing installation is driving efficiency in a nutritional powder processing line. Our latest client installation has been designed around a 3000-liter batch capacity rotary drum, which homogenizes nutritional powders while spraying the batches with sunflower oil. As with all Lindor machines, the mixer-coater at the core of the installation is designed for gentle processing. Our gentle mixing technology ensures the product is homogenized and coated without experiencing any degradation. Custom Engineered Vacuum Transport System The installation boasts an advanced vacuum transport system, which conveys the product into the mixing drum. The raw, bagged product is loaded into a sieve to remove lumps, and from there, a flexible pipe pumps the sieved product into a 40-liter receiving hopper, which then drops it into the mixing drum. When designing the installation, Lindor engineers set out to create a perfect flow of product through the vacuum transport system—like water flowing unobstructed. An air pump, which makes the vacuum effect and adds air…

A 1500-liter capacity Lindor post-extrusion mixer for the production of semicon compound is now on its way to a satisfied repeat client in South Korea. As leaders in mixing technology, we understand the importance of high-quality equipment that meets production needs. After multiple successful mixer installations in Saudi Arabia & in South Korea, our client, a renown polymer producer, knows they can rely on Lindor equipment. That’s why they have chosen another Lindor mixer. Temperature control The key features are what sets the Lindor mixer apart. The drum is equipped with a jacket, which uses warm water to maintain precise temperature control. And with gentle touch technology, a homogeneous blend is achieved while keeping the particles intact. Due to the high-quality output, our clients will be able to continue to produce high-quality products such as extra high-voltage cable compound. Hyper-clean design Cleanliness standards are met with ease due to the hyper-clean design. And with emptying capabilities of up to 99.9%, cross contamination is prevented, standstill times are minimized, and production standards…
