Floor Plan

With our small mixer (type MP 50, capacity approx. 35 liters), we perform free trials at the customer’s premise. The purpose is to give the customer the opportunity to test our mixer on site and with his own products.

How does it work?
The customer provides the power connection (socket 400 V, 16 A) and the products to be mixed for each batch. Minimum amount per batch: approx 5 liters, or approx 15 liters if refining or de-lumping of the mix is required (use of high-frequency knife head), the maximum is approx. 30 liters per batch for the trial mixer.

We travel by car. The mixer is dismountable and mobile and fits in the trunk. The mixer is assembled (approx. 15 min) and then wheeled to the desired location.

After discussion of the desired sequence, the tests begin. One test involves the entire process: Filling, mixing, emptying and cleaning. It is possible to perform several tests with different products, or to repeat the trials with the same products, but by changing the process. For example, process changes can be: The activation of the high-frequency knife-head to refine the mix or for a fast distribution of small components in liquid or grease form, the optimization of the tilt angle, a shorter or longer mixing time, adjustment of the speed of the mixing screw, the use of a pneumatic vibrator, etc. Tests are documented with pictures and videos, which we send to the customer after the trials.

A test takes about one hour. However, we don’t set any time limit and perform all the tests that are desired by the customer.

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.
