Intense continuous mixing with short residence times

The high-speed paddle mixer from Hosokawa Micron is a continuous horizontal paddle mixer with paddles located in a single helical or double helical pattern around the rotor shaft. This continuous paddle mixer has been developed for fine and cohesive powder applications. Capacities from 100 kg/h to 100 000 kg/h. Typical residence times range from 1 to 20 seconds. The system can be used for a wide range of applications, such as high-intensity mixing, coating, fine agglomeration or continuous reaction of powders with gases. It is capable of extremely high, heat transfer efficiency due to close contact between the material and the heated inside surface. Units can also be fitted with a heating or cooling jacket depending on the process requirements.

Compact high impact mixer for large volumes

The Schugi® Flexomix from Hosokawa Micron is a high-impact mixer developed to achieve a highly homogeneous mixture of powders and liquids. It is unlike any other continuous mixer with its vertical cylindrical chamber and vertical rotating shaft and is capable of handling high volumes of product. Its high rotational speed and turbulent mixing keep the mixer chamber clean; it provides accurate dosing of both liquid and solid components and is suitable for even the stickiest of media. Liquids of varying viscosity and steam can be added using atomizing nozzles mounted to the upper part of the chamber just above the upper mixing blades.

More control in your flash drying system

The Micron Dryer flash dryer, Drymeister® (DMR-H) from Hosokawa, can dry temperature-sensitive products, safely, even under increased temperatures, in a matter of seconds. Process parameters like classifier speed and outlet temperature can be adapted to control moisture content and particle size of the end product. The drying system is very flexible, handling moisture content fluctuations from a few % up to more than 80% in suspensions, slurries, pastes, dough, filter cakes and wet powders. The Drymeister® requires 75% less space and uses about 30-40% less energy per kilogram of evaporated water than conventional methods. The Flash combines drying system can be used in different industries such as the food industry, the chemical industry with applications in products such as pesticides, inorganic pigments and fish feed.
