Weighing and Mixing

Dispensing and mixing:

Controlled addition of liquid or granular ingredients according to a certain formulae or recipe. Refitting of existing machinery with up-to-date controls.

Chocolate and Sweet mixing:

Dispensing and mixing with temperature control of granular (powder), viscous (dense flowing) and liquid ingredients. Addition of small amounts (milligrams and grams) of emulsions.

The 1'000 Kg capacity mixing bin is suspended on 3 strain gauges which are measured directly by the controller, giving a resolution of 100 grams, even when stirring. The operator interface runs on a standard PC connected to the office network.

New recipes from the laboratory are available online for the operator to use and the production records are sent automatically to the supervisor.

Shampoo and washing products:

With 6 generic ingredients and a number of manual colour and scent additions up to 200 different products are mixed. Some fluids are measured by flow, some by weight.

Automatic washing between products. Parallel dispensing into 8 bins. Automated mixing with vario-speed propeller.

Production demand, scheduling and log is exchanged automatically over the office network.

Online acid mixing for copper refinement:

Dual channel mixing system for online acid spraying inside revolving drums. This process is used for copper refinement. Capacity: 400 tons/hour.

The pebble size copper ore is delivered at a fixed rate into the revolving cylinders at the top end. Cylinder rotation and acid addition according to throughput weight. The resulting mixture is delivered to one of 12 basins for deposit until reaction time is completed (couple of days).

The system controls the ore transport (belts), the fluid pumps and mixing cylinders and the book keeping of the deposits. Overnight shift runs with one single operator.
