J-TEC MATERIAL HANDLING designs, installs and maintains systems for the handling of dry materials and liquids. Storage of raw materials, conveying, dosing and weighing, dedusting, screening, charging and discharging, automation…are all part of your production process. The mixing process in particular can be part of this production process. In some cases, this might even be the object, the heart of the installation.

In only a few quite exceptional cases, the end product is not a composition of various raw materials. As a result, mixing equipment is not included in these installations. But as stated before these cases tend to be rare.

Mixing processes are part of the majority of industrial installations. This goes for the food, pharmaceutical, chemical and plastics industry. Standards pertaining to safety, hygiene, accuracy and so on, vary from industry to industry. J-Tec takes into account all this varying standards during the development of the mixing device.

Within the science of mixing, three different forms can be distinguished: the mixing of two or more liquids, the mixing of two or more dry materials and the mixing of liquids and dry materials.

Depending on the situational factors, one can opt for either a continuous mixing process or batch mixing. However, the object of the two processes is the same: to bring together various ingredients, being dry materials or liquids, in order to create a qualitatively good end product. This end product is either immediately consumable, or it will be further processed. The choice of what mixer to use depends on several other elements For instance to prevent contamination. Certain types of mixers can be cleaned more easily (for instance the slow mixer will be emptied completely). Especially in the food industry, where product switches often take place within a mixer, the easy cleaning of the mixer is a decisive element.

Mixing devicesSince 1970, J-Tec designs, builds and maintains J-Tec installations in which all kinds of mixing devices are build in. A complete enumeration of the existing mixing devices would lead us to far. However, J-Tec engineers are at your entire disposal to help you choose the right mixing process and the right mixing device.

Description

The dissolving of solids into liquids is one

of the most critical process steps. Often

problems arise because companies have

to work with two different suppliers, who

each have their own specialty, either sol-

ids or liquids.

For that reason there was a strong market

demand for suppliers who could deliver

the entire package: solids handling,

the mixing and dissolving of solids into

liquids, and the liquids handling. This way

the critical separation of responsibilities

between solids and liquids suppliers is

lifted.

Because of J-Tec’s extensive knowledge

in the fields of solids and liquids

handling and control systems we were

able to develop an advanced system

for the inline dissolving of a high

concentration of powders into liquids.

Main Principle

By means of an intensive mixing sys-

tem, an accurately controlled flow of

powder is dissolved continuously into

an accurately controlled flow of liq-

uid. The concentration of powders in

the liquid is controllable and adjust-

able, through a combination of a

loss-in-weight feeder and an inline

mixer.

With this set-up the powders are

dosed directly into the liquids flow,

and dissolved into the liquid.

Advantages

• As opposed to conventional sys-

tems, there are no buffer tanks

and intermediate transport neces-

sary, resulting in fewer costs and a

reduction in space required for the

installation.

• It offers great flexibility, while still

allowing a reproducible process.

• Less air incorporation

• This combination makes it possible

to change the ingredients and the

concentration of the mix very easily.

• High accuracy and range of

dosing (0,5%)

• The solid/liquid ratio can be

changed throughout the entire pro-

cess.

• Powder ratio up to 80 %

• The entire process is easy to clean

because it can be cleaned inline:

more quickly and more efficiently.

• Limited number of components that

need cleaning

• It can be used for solids stored in

all kinds of storage systems: Bags,

Big Bags, silos, ...

J-Tec’s test facilities

In our test facilities, we can simulate

batch mixing as well as inline

mixing processes. A combination of

batch and inline mixing is also pos-

sible.

Industries

This type of mixing can be imple-

mented in several types of industries:

• Chemical industry

• Food industry

• Pharmaceutical industry

Options• The set-up that you require can be

tested in J-tec’s test facilities, where

we can simulate the conditions that

you need.

• Heating and cooling are possible.

• Dosing of additional liquids (other

than the main liquid) is also possible.

Product examples

The inline mixing system can be used

for several types of products. A few

examples:

• Soda

• Carbon black

• Al2O3

• Thickeners

• Silica

• Milk powder

• ...

Because of J-Tec’s extensive experience

and knowledge in the field of solids and

liquids handling, the Sanimix has some

advantages over others:

• Pneumatic conveying of powders

• Extensive mixing capacities

• Possibility of CIP cleaning

• Products have a longer shelf life

thanks to reduced oxidation

Vacuum mixer with CIP-cleanable powder

installation.

J-Tec’s vacuum mixer is a batch mixer

that pulls in powders into the mixing

tank below liquids level, by means of a

vacuum conveying system. Thanks to

J-Tec’s thorough knowledge in the field

of pneumatic conveying, very long

conveying distances can be achieved.

Because the powder enters the mixing

tank below liquids level, foam creation

and product deposits on the wall are

reduced to a minimum.

The mixing process is accelerated

because the powder immediately col-

lides with a high shear mixing element.

This way a high powder/liquid ratio can

be reached within a small period of

time.

The mixing tank has a double walled

design, enabling heating and cooling of

the mixtures.

Main principle

MixingSanimix vacuum mixer

Pneumatic conveying

With pneumatic conveying it is possible

to cover long distances between the

mixer and the powder pick-up points.

This gives you the considerable advan-

tage that you can implement your

mixer virtually anywhere in your (exist-

ing) plant.

Thanks to this innovation it is no longer

necessary to deal with the limitations

in distance between the mixer and the

powder installations, giving you much

more freedom in the lay-out of your

plant.

Size

The content of the Sanidis can go from

500 litres up to 20.000 litres.
