Flexomix FX,FXD
The Flexomix is a compact, continuous high-shear mixer/agglomerator for mixing powders with liquids to form uniform, porous granules.
Principle of Operation
The Flexomix agglomeration system is a powerful combination of two proven Hosokawa technologies: the Flexomix continuous mixer / agglomerator and the Schugi fluid bed dryer and cooler. This combined design provides optimal process control and makes it the ultimate powder processing solution.
With this system, porous agglomerates can be made in a range of from 100 to 1,500 microns with a typical D50 value between 200 and 700 microns. This technology is also often referred to as Instant Agglomeration, since the Flexomix is extensively used for the production of instantly soluble agglomerates for food, chemical and pharmaceutical applications.
Base powders can be fed as a mixture or as multiple powders in parallel. An accurate, gravimetrical powder feeding subsystem ensures a constant powder/liquid ratio and a liquid dosing skid ensures accurate flow control and a constant powder/liquid ratio in the agglomerator. The liquid skid can be equipped with a stirrer or a heated tank for example, or in the case of solution binders, a preparation tank.
