Powder and liquid mixing system for food and life sciences
Achieve rapid and homogeneous dissolution of large quantities of powders into liquids, optimizing your production process with streamlined integration and minimal maintenance.
Mixes and Disperses Powders into Liquids
The POLYMEL® blending system from Equans – Pierre Guerin is engineered to streamline the blending of powders into liquids for the food, life sciences, and personal care industries. It features a mixing chamber with a centrifugal pump casing and impeller, facilitating thorough mixing via a vortex-induced pressure drop. This allows for efficient incorporation of powders from a horizontally mounted hopper. Designed for continuous or recycled batch processes, it can handle up to 9,500 Kg/h, making it ideal for applications such as dissolving sugar solutions, reconstituting milk products, and combining active pharmaceutical ingredients. Its robust design ensures easy integration into existing lines with minimal maintenance due to its compact and reliable construction. Enhanced by its low manpower requirements and improved working conditions, the POLYMEL® system offers smooth operation with a focus on user efficiency and product quality.
