The Hybrid Powder Mixer M15 is an excellent choice for blending thickeners, stabilizers and emulsifiers into concentrations required in most hygienic applications in the dairy, beverage and food industries. It is also capable of producing recombined milk with more than 50% dry matter.
The Alfa Laval Hybrid Powder Mixer M15 is a mobile dual-stage inline powder dissolution unit that quickly and efficiently disperses powders, mixing them with liquids into a homogeneous blend. Using a single-motor pump, it then transfers the resulting solution at outlet pressures of up to 5 bar. Versatile, cost effective and easy to use, this mixer efficiently produces homogeneous products at high dry matter concentrations and high yields.
Benefits
• Fast and homogenous powder dissolving
• A combination of a mobile inline powder-liquid mixer and a pump
• High dynamic shear, gentle mixing
• Reduced installation, emissions, energy and maintenance costs
• Reduced total cost of ownership combining the functions of powder mixing and pumping into a single unit
Standard design
Hybrid Powder Mixer M15 is comprised mainly of a two-stage pump with a rotor-stator as the first stage and as the second stage. It is also equipped with a funnel and an injector. The funnel is used to introduction powder through an injector system, which can be isolated using a hygienic C-ball valve. The injector pre-blends the powder and the liquid, while at the same time creating underpressure in the funnel outlet. The unit is mounted on a stainless-steel frame. The table easily slides into position on the frame, making it easy to place bags of powder there during mixing. It also functions as a lid to cover the funnel when not in use. The liquid inlet is equipped with a sight glass and a butterfly valve.
