GEA Flocmix® FLD-FLM and FLD-COM
The Flocmix® FLD-FLM and FLD-COM are continuously operating preparation and dosing systems for emulsion and dispersion polymers. The fully automated systems prepare the ready-to-use polymer solution according to process demand and dose it precisely into the process. Operation requires only electricity, polymer concentrate, water and an input signal for the sludge flow rate. A signal from the dry solids measurement can also be integrated as an option.
At the heart of each system is a Flocmix® high-intensity mixer specifically developed for dissolving polymer concentrates. The systems are equipped with the required pumps and complete measurement and control technology. The controller allows the concentration of the ready-to-use solution and the polymer dosage to be set precisely. Its automatic dynamic control function adjusts dosing during operation according to process demand and changing conditions.
Available configurations
- Flocmix® FLD-FLM: Equipped with the Flocmix® FLM high-intensity mixer, a polymer concentrate pump and a dilution water pump
- Flocmix® FLD-COM: Equipped with the Flocmix® FLM-IME high-intensity mixer and a polymer concentrate pump
Key effects and benefits

- Continuous, fully automated operation
- Demand-based dosing through automatic dynamic control
- Precise adjustment of polymer concentration and dosage
- Reduced polymer consumption and prevention of polymer losses
- Lower operating costs and fast return on investment
- Compact, space-saving design

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.
