A Prodima Mixer goes to school

A Prodima Mixer goes to school in a technical university in Switzerland that develops processes and techniques for industrial partners. For a very specific project a suitable mixer had to be found. After many tests with different types of mixing systems the Prodima mixer type was chosen as the optimal solution. During the trials a very fine plastic powder (eg, polyamide) was mixed with a small amount of liquids. The mix was refined thanks to the built in high frequency shear head.

The most appreciate features of the Prodima mixer:

Very short mixing time (90 seconds).
Very high and uniform mixing quality
High flexibility in use and set-up
Easy operation, cleaning and maintenance.
The possibility to tilt the mixing hopper. Thus, the tilt angle can be optimally adapted to the flow behavior of the mix. (Angle for mixing cycle from 0 ° to +45 °)
For easy and complete emptying the mixing hopper can be tipped into a negative angle. (Angle for emptying 0 ° to -5 °)
Gas springs assist the operator so that the tilt angle, even at full mixing hopper, can be changed without effort at any time.
As an option, it is also possible to equip the smaller Prodima mixers with push button controlled tilting system.

The Prodima mixer is available in 5 sizes: 50, 150, 500, 1200 and 2500 types, also in ATEX version.

Prodima high performance mixer: a different philosophy in mixing.

The Prodima mixer has proven its versatility and efficiency in virtually all industries, where it is necessary to mix quickly and accurately powders, granules, flakes, etc. Just a small list of products to be mixed successfully: spices of all kinds, tea, herbs, coffee, cereals, instant drinks, flour, instant soups and sauces as well as bath salts, vitamins, pigments and many others. Wetting of the mix and the addition of fats is possible too as well as the production of emulsions. Thanks to the mixing tools, i.e. the particular shape of the mixing hopper, the mixing screw and the possibility to adjust the tilt angle of the mixing hopper, the same mixer grants gentle or forceful mixing.

Easy cleaning for a quick product change thanks to the removable mixing screw, high mixing quality, even when mixing small components and short mixing times are among the important features of our mixing system. Other advantages are low power consumption and flexibility (batch of min. 10% max. 90% of the mixing hopper’s volume and mobile plant). The Prodima mixer finds its use in laboratory, production and creates pre-mixes and end mixes.

To increase the efficiency and operator comfort, all Prodima mixers are available with tilting frame. This tilting frame allows tilting the mixing hopper in the most appropriate angle adapted to the products to be mixed. The same frame also makes the processes of filling, emptying and cleaning even easier. Thus, it is for example possible to tilt the mixing hopper to a negative position of nearly 90° for a quick and easy cleaning

Depending on the required mixing process and the products to be mixed, the following options can optimize the mixing process:

High frequency knife-head to refine the mix (e.g. when adding liquids or fat), to shorten the mixing time or to reduce lumps in the mix.
An opening in the lid of the mixing hopper for the addition of fluids (or other small components in powder form) during the mixing process. The advantage is that the liquid is directly entering the mix and immediately distributed.
Available Prodima Mixers types, with standard chassis or tilting frame: 50, 150, 500, 1200 and 2500.

Our small laboratory mixer (MP-50, 35 l) serves as a demonstration unit with which we perform free trials all around Europe at the customer’s premises.

In order to bridge production bottlenecks, we also offer the possibility to rent a Prodima mixer.

In close cooperation with our partner Mecatex S.A., we also offer complete solutions for example for filling, conveying, dosing, storage, screening and other production processes.
