Batch mixer for soft drinks ingredients
Effectively manage diverse ingredient formats with a high-performance mixing system that ensures seamless integration, optimal ingredient distribution, and minimal waste, addressing the challenges of modern soft drink formulations.
Mixes and Discharges Diverse Ingredients Efficiently
The Tetra Pak Mixer RJCI 4X is an industrial batch mixer specifically designed for a wide range of ingredients and end-products in the food and beverage industry. Employing patented injection and radial jet technologies, this mixer allows for the rapid in-feed and thorough homogenization of powders and liquids, reducing air incorporation and foaming. It adeptly manages processes such as mixing, aspiration, dosing, and recirculation, ensuring consistent product quality.
Applications span from soft drinks and dairy to sauces and spreads, producing items such as cola beverages, flavored milk, and mayonnaise. With automated batch operations, the RJCI 4X supports seamless integration into existing production lines, offering features like a smart ergonomic operator table and a wet feeding solution to prevent clumping and minimize waste. With optional elements like an Auto Mixing Device (AMD) for high shear mixing without additional energy costs, and an Ingredients Loop Extension (ILE) to optimize line layout, it provides flexibility for diverse production requirements.
The mixer is built for durability and ease of maintenance, featuring a dust extraction and recovery system that keeps the working environment clean. Made with robust material choices, it meets stringent industry standards while providing the engineering support necessary for customization and troubleshooting.
