Dinnissen provides solution for homogeneous mixing of sticky ingredients

New mixing technique during Anuga Foodtec in Köln

In cooperation with its clients, Dinnissen Process Technology has developed a new variant of the well-known Pegasus® Continuous Mixer. The Pegasus mixes sticky liquids with a high sugar content ( syrups ) with dry powders such as flakes, flour and wheatmeal. It can even mix sugar-containing liquids with dry ingredients in a ratio of up to 75% by weight of the dry material. The new Pegasus® Continuous Mixer primarily prevents ingredients from becoming extremely sticky, from caking or lumping.

Flexible easy-to-clean continuous mixer

Mixing dry basic ingredients with a high percentage of sticky liquids presents a challenge for various companies in the food, feed, pharmaceutical and chemicals sectors. This is particularly true when other complex aspects also play a role such as hygiene, food safety, capacity, quality and efficiency. Especially for such situations, Dinnissen developed a customized Pegasus® Continuous Mixer which makes it possible to mix sticky mixtures quickly, efficiently and without any caking or lump formation. The mixing system complies with the criteria for hygiene and food safety and can be quickly and easily cleaned. The end result is a flexible mixer which also makes it easy to quickly and efficiently switch to other recipes. The system can homogeneously mix a large number of dry basic ingredients, after which the mixture can be mixed in with a roughly similar quantity of sugar-containing sticky liquid in a second stage. The system still functions effectively even if the dry basic ingredients vary in terms of particle size, bulk density and flow characteristics. The new Pegasus® Continuous Mixer was developed completely in accordance with the practical needs and requirements of our clients. The fact that the mixing shafts can be detached quite simply from the rest of the system ensures that all parts can easily be accessed for cleaning purposes. Switching to a new recipe can be accomplished quickly and easily, as the system does not need to be cleaned in between.

The new Pegasus® Mixer can be found at the Dinnissen Process Technology stand F-064 (hall 10.1) during Anuga Foodtec in Köln.

Dinnissen introduces XS4 Sifting during Anuga Foodtec in Köln

New technique for high capacity powder monitoring

Specially designed for the effective and reliable monitoring of powdered substances for contamination such as residual packaging materials, metal particles, stones, grains and chunks, Dinnissen Process Technology will be introducing XS4 Sifting at Anuga Foodtec in Köln. A new technique that allows even large quantities of powders to be monitored quickly and reliably.

From the finest powders to the highest demands for reliability

Dinnissen's XS4 Sifting is a new method for high capacity powder control that can be integrated with practically any new or existing (pneumatic) transport system for, for example, bulk transporters, silos, unloading installations and processing techniques. The basis of XS4 Sifting is a centrifugal sieve. A specially fitted feeding system is used to introduce material to the sieving chamber, where it is spun around by rotating blades. Just like in a centrifuge, fine powder particles pass through the sieve while larger particles are immediately transferred to the back of the chamber. With the right combination of rotor speed, sieve size and length, practically any sieve result can be accomplished. Enormous capacities, ranging from 15 up to as much as 70 tonnes per hour, can be achieved and even the very finest of powders (between 5 and 200 m) can be processed at extreme speed.

Extra tough sieves with cleverly designed sieve protector

Dinnissen's XS4 Sifting is available in various sieve cylinder sizes (up to approximately 1500 mm), making this technique suitable for (compact) application in existing production lines. The diverse applicability of XS4 Sifting also means that an extra large sieve surface area can be chosen for even greater certainty. Dinnissen's XS4 Sifting spreads the substance to be sieved very uniformly over the sieve so that the sieve is evenly loaded and damage due to wear and tear is kept to a minimum. Due to a special construction, the sieves within this new powder control system are extremely tough. They are also protected against heavy objects such as stones by extra fitted sieve protectors. Finally, the inspection system devised for XS4 Sifting ensures that checking the sieve meshes is quick and very easy to do.

More information about XS4 Sifting can be found at the Dinnissen Process Technology stand F-064 (hall 10.1) during Anuga Foodtec in Köln.
