Continuous inline mixing for late product differentiation
In industries like food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, managing multiple minor ingredient streams in addition to main components can be complex. Ensuring consistent ingredient ratios and preventing cross-contamination, especially when dealing with allergens or highly sensitive materials, is crucial.
Compact mixing for up to 3 minor streams
The Turbo Compact Mixing (TCM) module by Gericke is a specialized inline mixing system developed for seamless integration upstream of filling, packaging, or processing equipment. This compact module enables continuous mixing of a main powder stream with up to three minor streams at flow rates between 1,000 and 20,000 l/h. Its advanced loss-in-weight feeder controllers guarantee precise ingredient ratios, thereby ensuring recipe trueness. The TCM’s design notably minimizes the equipment surface area, which significantly reduces cleaning time and the risk of cross-contamination. The system is useful in applications where frequent changeovers are necessary, such as in the addition of flavors, colorants, and other critical products in sectors like food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.
