Processes
When the Cyclomix is used for intensive mixing of slurries, the powder/liquid ratio can vary from 20-80% to 99-1%. Especially the combination of viscous liquids and the addition of small amounts of powdery additives can cause great difficulties with the existing dissolver mixing systems. The mixing time can be long and the reproducibility between batches is mostly poor.
Ultra short batch times
As an example we can calculate with a process time in a 250 litre mixer of approximately 3 minutes. This process time is including a cleaning cycle after every batch, charging and discharging. The use of one single Cyclomix 250 litre results in a capacity of 5000 litres per hour. In this example the capacity of the Cyclomix was 5 times higher than a dissolver system.
Constant quality
Due to the unique flow pattern in the Cyclomix the complete content of the mixer is in intensive motion, i.e. no dead spots can be found. Therefore no solids will be deposited in dead zones in the vessel and a minimum of product will remain on the wall and cover. Result: a constant mixing quality and no disturbance by agglomerates which might be reintroduced in a certain stage of the mixing process.
Flexibility
An important goal of most of our customers is flexibility in serving their market, which results in many different recipes and various batch sizes. The Cyclomix is fully capable to fulfil these requirements. It can be used from 25% up to 100% filling rate resulting in a constant mixing quality.
