Liquid Mixers

Subject to increasingly complex cost and time demands in ever-faster innovation cycles, liquid mixing systems have to be economic, reproducible, flexible and robust. Mixing is an integral part of various process industries, such as beverage and home & personal care, in which the reliable production of homogenous, clump-free products is paramount. The process is used in the production of beverages such as juice, carbonated water and soft drinks as well as personal care products such as creams and shampoos and cleaning products

Effective mixing ensures that products are both of the highest and most consistent quality, and that they are produced cost-efficiently. In mixing, it is important to understand both the materials and processes in use, including factors such as the solubility index and wetting ability.

Process Options

Mixing can be done with either a conventional batch mixer or a continuous mixing system. For companies with frequent changeovers or with many products that have to be prepared using dry substances and ingredients in small containers (bags, bottles, etc.), it may be sensible to use a batch mixing plant; in many cases, though, a combination of batch mixing and continuous blending is advantageous.

GEA Insights

The breakthrough that changed spray drying

In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.

Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance

An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.

How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made

In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
