General Features
APPLICATIONS Fast mixing of granular or powdered components and relative dispersion of pigments and liquid/solid additives. Mixing of liquids with equal or different viscosity. Residence time, rotation speed, temperature and configuration of mixing elements are varying working parameters that make the mixer the ideal compounder in different processing fields.
LICO technology is successfully applied to those fields requiring ready to pack mixes as detergents, foods, fertilizers, feed -and to produce mixes subject to further processing- extrusion, reaction, melting, grinding, compacting.
ADVANTAGES With same production parameters, the continuous mixer has smaller dimensions than the standard discontinuous mixer. Thanks to a continuous process the volume of materials to be mixed is diluted in time, meaning simpler operation, power savings and shortened intervals in formulation changing.
The continuous mixer is uniformly fed by LICO's loss-in-weight system, ensuring the excellent homogenization of the components. The mixer's output corresponds exactly to what is packed afterwards or processed downstream. Intermediate storage - where mixed components tend to separate - is eliminated. No more composition differences in the end product.
SPECIAL FEATURES all metal parts in direct contact with product made of stainless steel AISI 304 (AISI 316 upon request). Heating/cooling unit available for special applications.
