PerMix has responded by introducing PFBS Single Shaft Fluidized Zone Mixers, which reduce mixing times while maintaining energy efficiency and increasing the performance of the mixers, Steven asserts.
He explains that PFBS Single Shaft Fluidized Zone Mixers are designed to replace old and inefficient ribbon mixers, cutting batch times by up to 75% and using the same footprint, allowing them to be installed with ease and in minimal time. Various drive system configurations are available, ranging from a single motor/gearbox with a chain to a single motor with a dual gearbox or a dual motor/gearbox.
‘What used to take 20 minutes to mix in a ribbon mixer can now take three minutes in PerMix’s PFBS mixer,’ Steven reports. ‘The PFBS also minimises maintenance time and confined space entry by using a cantilever-designed end plate, which allows the operator to open and access the entire end of the mixer.’
