Recommended Blending Equipment for Pet Food
One critical step in pet food production is the preparation of intermediates wherein powders, ground solids and other dry ingredients are blended together, sometimes along with minor liquid components.
Ultra-high shear mixers increase overall throughput and efficiency of homogenization processes
Ultra-high shear rotor/stator systems speed up cycle time by reducing the number of passes required through a high pressure homogenizer, an inherently low-throughput, high-energy device. Since homogenizers are also generally maintenance-intensive, an efficient ‘pre-mixer’ generates significant savings in the overall cost of production. In certain applications, ultra-high shear mixers even effectively replace homogenizers..
Recommended Mixing Equipment For Emulsion Adhesives
Water-based emulsion adhesives serve multi-purpose uses in packaging, construction, textile and other applications. They bond plastic, coated papers, wood, metal surfaces, ceramics, concrete, glass and other substrates. Typical chemistries are formulated with polyvinyl acetate (PVA), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), acrylics and styrene-butadiene (SB) latex. The mixing technologies utilized in the production of emulsion adhesives vary from one formulation to another. Mixer selection is based on a number of factors but primarily viscosity profile and shear input.
High Speed Mixing: Saw-tooth Dispersers vs. Rotor/stator Mixers
The saw-tooth disperser and rotor/stator mixer are two of the most widely used high speed mixers yet many are unaware of the differences in their utility and operating capacities. Knowing the unique attributes of these devices is important in mixer selection and process optimization.
High Shear Mixing and Single-Pass Emulsification
Consider an ultra-high shear mixer for your single-pass emulsification requirements. Advantages include simple operation, high throughput rates, consistent product quality, easy cleaning procedure and low maintenance.
