Various industrial processes, including those used to create polymers, chemical intermediates, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), fertilizers, and consumer products made from them (paints, adhesives, sealants, lubricants, etc.), rely on mixing technology.

Oils and margarine, sweets and juice concentrates, honey, cocoa and chocolate, sauces, dairy products and sugar must be mixed at some point in the production process. Various requirements regarding mixing tasks in the food industry, the mixing process and especially hygiene standards (such as construction material, surface quality, cleanliness, sterile design) must be taken into account and included in the design of an economical mixer. Additionally, the food industry has specific requirements regarding fermentation, crystallization and hydrogenation procedures. During fermentation, viscosity can increase significantly, as can the production of thickening agents such as Xanthan. The design, selection and placement of the impeller has a significant impact on efficiency and productivity at the high viscosities and relatively high ventilation rates typically used.

Yield, purity and most importantly particle properties determine the quality of the final product during crystallization. The use of appropriate mixing technology and crystallization strategy can significantly improve and increase the effectiveness of the process, especially when additives or products such as sugar are used. Numerous sugar substitutes, such as Sorbitol and Xylitol, are produced by hydrogenating the corresponding sugar. By using the latest mixing technology Mechanimix REK series, the volume-time efficiency can be significantly increased while the amount of catalyst can be reduced.

Mechanimix REK series products are advantageous for the production of both sugar substitutes and hydrogenated lipids such as margarine. Thanks to superior mass transfer, Mecahnimix REK series products can significantly reduce the time required to reach the required iodine level in this case. In processes such as mixing, blending, dissolving, heating, cooling, fermentation or hydrogenation, Mecahnimix solutions can be your first choice to achieve the desired product quality and properties.
