PMS MIXER^®

High Speed Mixer/Granulator

 

PMS Mixer^® combines mixing, dispersing, and high-shear granulating into single operation with an optimal cycle time.  Dry mixing can be accomplished as rapid as about 1 – 3 minutes while wet granulation can be performed within 3 - 6 minutes.

 

Conical mixing bowl completely separates product contact parts from driving components. All parts in contact with product are stainless steel SUS 316.  The mixing bowl, bowl cover, agitator blade and chopper blade are mirror polished.  A pneumatically operated seal between the bowl and lid, and air purge labyrinth seals between the bowl and shafts ensure dust-tight operation.

 

Raw material feeding to PMS Mixer^® can be manual through the fully open lid, or completely automatic through suitable inlets on the lid.  Conical mixing bowl structure helps preventing an adhesion of raw material and providing a smoother flow of materials inside the bowl. Main agitator at the base works in conjunction with high shear chopper laterally located in the mixer wall.  The incorporation of rotating elements force product to move intensively in both vertical and horizontal planes and homogenously mixed in a short period of time.

 

Feeding binder through lid hopper makes pre-mixed materials become moistened and agglomerated. Chopper would break the material agglomeration into fine and uniform granules. For process reproducibility, mixing time or mixing power consumption, characterized by main agitator and chopper motor current, can be set to determine process end-point. 

 

Finished product is discharged by centrifugal force through pneumatic discharge valve into product container or directly to Fluid Bed Dryer bowl.
