Powder Mixers

The energy per kilogram of mixed product is usually less than 2 Watts per kilogram. Other powder mixer systems quickly reach a factor of 5. The energy is always transformed into something else, such as breakage, dust formation, heat. The less energy, the fewer negative effects. This means that the integrity of the individual particles is guaranteed by Lindor’s powder mixers.

Furthermore, liquids can simply be added to a powder in the mixer by liquid injection. In the rotating drum of the powder mixer, with the powder always moving, liquid can be distributed evenly and only over the powder, without the liquid contaminating the mixing drum.

Examples of powders mixed by Lindor powder mixers

• Detergents (agglomerates and liquid additives)
• Milk powders (solubility and no breakage and lumps from fatty milk powders)
• Instant powders such as cocoa, chocolate and coffee (maintaining ideal bulk density and good solubility)
• Coffee powders (no clumping)
• Ceramic powders (undamaged and easy application of liquids)
• Battery powders (100% purity and no contamination by metal powder due to wear)
• Sugar
• Silica (maintains adsorption and absorption, prevents wear)
• Metal powders and granules (prevents wear, good explosion suppression)
• Fertilizer (prevents breakage, suitable for coating)
• Synthetic materials, plastics, polymers (soaked in liquids, prevents breakage)
• Herbs and spices (prevents breakage)
