LÖDIGE'S RINGLAYER MIXER CORIMIX® FOR CONTINUOUS OPERATION

The CoriMix® is a high-speed, continuous mixer for high throughputs, especially developed for homogeneous mixing of liquid and pasty components into dry substances.The system is based on the high peripheral speed of the mixing shaft tools of up to 50 m/s. The resulting centrifugal force forms a concentric ringlayer of product along the drum wall. The product is moved through the mixing chamber in a plug-flow manner. The retention time depends on the filling level, speed, geometry and mixing tool adjustment as well as the throughputs but is extremely short compared with a continuous Ploughshare Mixer. The mixing chamber is divided into zones with different mixing tools enabling different shear intensity by selecting and adjusting the mixing tools according to each application. The friction of the product is increased through the high speed of the mixing tools but is still gentle enough due to the short residence time during the process.
