OptiMix paddle mixer
PRODUCT FOCUS JULY 2015 In every edition of Milling and Grain, we take a look at the products that will be saving you time and money in the milling process.
International technology Group Andritz has launched a new paddle mixer for feed compounds. The main benefit of the innovative Andritz OptiMix mixer is the high speed, mixing up to 30 batches per hour, which is three times faster than the previous generation of mixers. Further advantages are the unique design features, making the mixer as clean and easy to maintain as possible. The OptiMix paddle mixer has a special self-cleaning feature: The rotor changes direction between each batch, ensuring that all surfaces are kept clean by the material being mixed. Furthermore, placing the nozzles directly in the inlet ensures that they are wiped clean as well while each batch is loaded. The paddle mixer was tested and verified by TI (Technological Institute) and MTSE (Micro Tracer Services Europe) and achieved the highest scores possible for mixing quality (mixing probability of > 25 percent within 75 seconds, equivalent to a coefficient of variation of < 5 percent).
