Mixing
Mixing, stirring and blending of products are fundamental operations in liquid processing. Often a fluid consists of components that are either dissolved or contain a dispersion of particles of different sizes such as milk, which consists of fat, protein, carbohydrates, minerals and water.
Whether you need a standalone mixer or a complete mixing and blending system, SPX offers market-leading brands including:
- APV’s Flex-Mix Family
- Bran+Luebbe’s PENTAX Line
- LIGHTNIN’s SanStar Line
- Waukesha Cherry-Burrell S-Series Mixer Line
While some manufacturers may consider mixing and blending a ‘commoditized process’, we know that there is a good deal of engineering that goes into fi nding the right solution. We have more decades of experience and the broadest line of mixing options in the industry to back it up. We help you determine the best solution for your mixing and blending needs to achieve the results you want.
Common applications include: dairy products, orange juice, beer, tomato sauces, salad dressing, margarine and peanut butter.
You can be confi dent in SPX mixers and blenders for:
- Flexibility – rapid product changeover
- Versatility – recipe changes/new product formulations
- Consistency – predictable production of complex mixtures
- Higher output – advanced technology, precision control
- Increased mixing times – high shear for better dispersion
- Reduced product loss – minimum rejects and waste
- Increased production – easy to clean, low maintenance
- Food safety – comply with 3A, FDA, CE standards
- Ease of operation – designed for operator comfort, safety
- Rapid pay-back –low maintenance results in higher throughput
But don’t take our word for it. At our Process Technology Lab, we’ll evaluate your existing mixer design and process goals to determine opportunities for improvement. We’ll team with your technical group to reduce the time and expense of developing new mixing applications. Importantly, we have extensive experience in scaling up lab designs and achieving full-scale performance.
You can choose to work with us in three ways:
- Scaled-down tests using your actual product
- Process, material simulation (computational fluid dynamics modeling)
- Full-scale performance tests, on- or off-site
Through our state-of-the-art testing facility, our broad product line, and our highly-qualified network of sales engineers, you’re sure to find the mixing option that solves your problem and improves your processes.
