In-line mixer for solid-liquid blending

Efficiently combine powdered and liquid ingredients in real-time with high-shear precision, optimizing production for seamless integration in continuous processing lines.

Mixes and Disperses Solids into Liquids

The ALVAK from Vak Kimsa is a robust in-line solid-liquid mixer designed to optimize the dispersion and grinding processes of solids directly into liquids. Engineered for industries such as food, chemical, cosmetics, and biotechnology, the ALVAK operates with precision to produce homogenous beverage emulsions, nutraceutical powders, and pharmaceutical suspensions. Its working principle involves the direct addition of solids to a mixer head using a TC or TCV hopper, equipped with ergonomic features for manual or automatic feeding. Capable of managing up to 15,000 kg/h of solid flow and 90,000 l/h of mix flow, this high-shear mixer ensures seamless integration with continuous processing lines, supported by PLC-based automation for efficient control. Crafted to high hygiene standards with options for varying material finishes, it offers versatility and durability, making it suitable for production demands. The system is compliant with stringent industry standards, reinforced by an easy-to-clean design that supports quick maintenance and reduces downtime, catering to complex production challenges with customized engineering support.
