Industrial mixer for moisture conditioning
Ensure precise moisture levels and homogeneous mixtures for complex extrusion processes, optimizing product quality and enhancing operational efficiency during preconditioning and processing phases.
Adjusts and Homogenizes Moisture Levels in Mixes
The Pegasus® Conditioner from Dinnissen BV is a dual-axis mixer designed to precisely adjust and homogenize moisture levels in various mixtures. This equipment combines steam or hot air for effective mixing and moisture control, making it ideal for applications across food, pharma, pet food, feed, aquafeed, chemicals, and minerals industries. The conditioner plays a critical role in preconditioning processes, especially before extrusion, by ensuring the mixture’s humidity is at desired levels.
It’s adept at handling powders, water, and fats, creating a consistent, homogenous mix suitable for infant formula, animal feed pellets, vitamin supplements, and more. With a manually controllable production capacity, it supports both batch and continuous operations. Integration into production lines is streamlined with PLC control and options for remote monitoring.
A standout feature is its energy efficiency, utilizing a double-axis mechanism that reduces processing times and energy use. Constructed with hygienic design elements, the conditioner can come with extra-large inspection hatches and drive-out paddle shafts for easy maintenance. Compliance with relevant industry standards ensures it meets stringent hygiene and safety requirements, supported by Dinnissen’s customizable solutions and engineering support.
