Application The Flex-Mix™ Liquiverter is specially designed for products with low to medium viscosity in order to obtain a fast mixing of powders and particles with liquids. The Flex-Mix™ Liquiverter is usable for mixing, dispersion, recombination and reestablishment of soluble products. It is also used for reconstitution of dairy products, manufacturing of fine foods, emulsions, preparation of starch and hydrocolloid solutions CA PAC I T Y Up to 3000 litre – batch production. All depending on the type of production plant, the capacity per hour can be up to 20,000 litre. F U N CT I O N The Flex-Mix™ Liquiverter is a square shaped tank with a bottom mounted high speed mixing impeller. The impeller generates an axial flow, which is re-circulated in the tank via the surrounding • Interior/exterior tank surfaces in 2B finish with polished welds. Other product contacting surfaces in: Ra< 1 μm • Available option with heating/cooling jacket on tank wall and/or with insulation on the outer jacket • Top mounted manway cover – optional with safety lock and safety grid • Two top mounted liquid inlets (more can be delivered) and a bottom mounted mixer outlet mixer chamber. The square shaped tank ensures that there will • In/outlet fittings in accordance with required standard: ISO, DIN, etc. be no forced rotation of liquids in the tank (forced vortex). On the contrary a free vortex will be created which sucks the liquid down • Available option with level sensors and/or load cells towards the mixing impeller (like in a bath tub outlet, a plug-hole). • Sanitary design for CIP cleaning This liquid whirl also sucks powders and particles being added • With one CIP inlet branch, ø25 mm with rotating spray ball through the manway placed in the top of the tank down into the • Three mixer unit sizes with standard mixing impellers, i.e. ø150, ø250, and ø350 mixing impeller. In both the impeller and the surrounding chamber, high shear forces and turbulence are created ensuring effective and homogeneous mixing. The product outlet is placed in the mixer chamber. Depending on the characteristics and viscosity of the product, a booster pump may be needed for emptying in order to ensure further transportation of the liquid. • Available with a special mixing impeller (high shear mixing unit) • Axial units: Inducer propeller, premix blades, serrated rotating knife • Directly coupled norm motor (closed coupled design) • Motor fully encapsulated in IEC or NEMA norm, IP55, covered by a stainless steel jacket, 1450 rpm • Double mechanical shaft seal for water flushing made of Silicon/Carbon alternatively of Silicon / Silicon seal ring material • Seal material in EPDM or FPM (Viton), FDA quality S TA N D A R D E X E C U T I O N • All products in touch with the end product are made of stainless steel AISI 316 / DIN1.4401 • Square shaped pressureless tank in the foll
