Vertical Ribbon Mixer with CIP

S&L vertical mixers are able to achieve optimal performance for hygienic production by implementing a Clean-in-Place (CIP) system. This feature can be added to all of our models. CIP is an efficient cleaning process that requires some manual preparation steps, such as installing a washing device. Once installed, the system performs a complete cleaning in fully automatic mode through PLC technology. Drying with air is necessary after wet cleaning. With no cross-contamination between batches, you can be assured of the quality of your finished products.

• Two 360-degree rotating spray nozzles are symmetrically arranged on the top of the vessel, forming a 3-meter diameter spherical rotating water curtain under a water pressure of 5 bar. The dual spray nozzles can provide full coverage of the inner surface of the vessel.
• The rotating spray nozzles rotate at a fixed speed, ensuring full coverage of the inner surface of the tank using different atomized fan shapes.
• The spray nozzles are hydraulically driven and do not require external power. They are equipped with ceramic bearings.
• The spray nozzles are designed to be externally mounted through the vessel, facilitating replacement and maintenance.

Vertical Ribbon Mixer with Jacket

The conventional jacket is a popular choice for dryer mixers. It consists of a second shell placed over a portion of the vessel, with cooling or heating medium flowing through the annular space, including internal baffles. As material processing advances, the mixer is increasingly utilized for multi-functional mixing. The dryer mixer can handle materials with a maximum water content of 70% and dry them using a combination of heating jacket and vacuum. In some cases, the drying effect can reduce the water content to as low as 0.05%. The basic design of the dryer is a stationary horizontal cylinder, loaded from the top and discharged from the bottom. The standard mixing tools are plow-shaped and radiate from a horizontal shaft supported by outboard bearings. Other mixing tool designs are also optional.

This dryer operates based on the well-established principle of 'fluidized bed' mixing. It maintains the materials being reacted in a mechanically fluidized suspended state, allowing intimate contact between the reacting mediums (gas-solid or liquid-solid) and the heat transfer surfaces. A heating jacket and vacuum design are essential for this process. During the mixing and drying process, the material is dried by transferring heat from the heating jacket to the vessel. Subsequently, steam pressure builds up inside the vessel, which is then removed by a vacuum pump. Different types of mixers and mixing agitators can be used depending on the specific application. We design our dryer mixers to comply with pressure vessel codes to ensure safety and quality.
