Hybrid powder mixer for powder-liquid blending

Achieve consistent powder-liquid blends with reduced processing times and energy consumption, ensuring high product quality and reliable performance in demanding production environments.

Mixes and Disperses Powders into Liquids

The Alfa Laval Hybrid Powder Mixer is an innovative dual-stage induction and dispersion system designed to blend powders seamlessly into liquid streams for industries demanding strict hygiene, such as food, dairy, beverage, biotech, and personal care. This inline high-shear mixer enables efficient mixing and dispersion, ensuring homogeneous products with minimized energy consumption. By integrating into the circulation loop of your production line, it rapidly disperses and mixes powders with large tank volumes, utilizing a rotor-stator mechanism to achieve dynamic blending. Capable of processing various powder particle sizes and liquid viscosities, it ensures consistent, quality formulations across applications like beverage syrups, protein shakes, and skincare creams.

The mixer’s automation further enhances operational efficiency, offering continuous operation and integration with Alfa Laval Rotary Jet Mixers for an optimized Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) system. With low installation and maintenance costs, the Hybrid Powder Mixer supports sustainable production by promoting high resource use efficiency. Available in different material options suitable for various industrial requirements, its reliable performance and easy maintenance make it essential equipment for powder-liquid blending. Whether stationary or mobile, this mixer delivers flexibility and high throughput in demanding production environments.
