Description
The Admixer is an all-stainless sanitary static mixer and blender ideal for processing miscible fluids regardless of flow rates, viscosity or density. This mixer is perfect for the instant dilution of juice concentrates, flavors or colorants in prepared foods; tomato paste cutting; or the gentle heating of chocolate syrups. Its low shear characteristics also gently blend fruit into yogurt and evenly distribute jelly within molten peanut butter.
The concept behind a static mixer is simple: fluid flowing through a pipe is channeled through a geometric arrangement of mixing elements. The element geometry within the housing causes the flow to divide, mix, divide again and mix again until complete.
The flow then continues in a pipe as if it had gone through conventional batch mixing in tanks, with the distinct difference that the degree of homogeneity can be precisely controlled within the sanitary static blender.
Benefits of the Admixer static mixer
