Pharmaceutical free fall mixer for hygienic production processes
Convenient and gentle mixing at a high hygienic level - with the JEL RRM ”Pharma” drum hoop mixer. The mixing material is moved in the drum purely by gravity.
Particularly gentle mixing processes
An advantage for products that are sensitive to breakage. Free-fall mixers are also in no way inferior to compulsory mixers in terms of their range of applications: In addition to mixing, numerous tasks such as coloring, dispersing or dissolving liquids in solids can be implemented.
The JEL RRM drum hoop mixer is made up of a drum hoop frame with drum holder, a mixing container and a roller conveyor. The roller conveyor serves as the base frame for all other components, such as the drive that sets the rollers and thus the mixing drum in motion.
Depending on the product and mixing task, a free-fall mixer can also be equipped with additional mixing inserts to enhance the mixing effect.
Operation of the JEL RRM drum hoop mixer
The mixing container, often a stainless steel drum, is filled with the mixing material and inserted at an angle into the drum hoop frame. The drum is lashed down with a tension belt so that it cannot slip during operation.
Subsequently, the rack can either be placed on the roller conveyor using lifting tools, or the JEL RRM is extended with an additional ramp so that the rack with the mixing container can simply be rolled onto the conveyor by hand.
Once the rack with the barrel has been placed on the roller conveyor, the mixing process can be started. The wheel starts to rotate around its own axis, thus setting the barrel into a tumbling motion.
Due to the inclined barrel position, a 3D mixing movement is created which evenly circulates the mix inside the barrel. This ensures intensive mixing of all components, even if individual components are only present in small proportions in the overall mixture.
When the mixing process is finished, the rack with the mixing container is lifted or rolled out of the roller conveyor again, the retaining straps are released and the drum can be easily removed.
The entire drum change takes place without tools and without emissions, as the mixing container itself is tightly sealed.
