APV Flex-Mix™ Liquiverter

Product catalog summary
Application
The Flex-Mix™ Liquiverter is designed for fast mixing of powders and particles with liquids, suitable for products with low to medium viscosity. It is used for mixing, dispersion, recombination, and reconstitution of soluble products, including dairy products, fine foods, emulsions, and starch solutions.
Capacity
The system supports batch production up to 3000 liters, with a potential hourly capacity of up to 20,000 liters depending on the production plant.
Function
The Liquiverter features a square-shaped tank with a bottom-mounted high-speed mixing impeller that creates an axial flow. This design prevents forced rotation and instead creates a free vortex that draws liquids and added powders towards the impeller, ensuring effective and homogeneous mixing. A booster pump may be required for product outlet depending on product characteristics.
Standard Execution
  • All product-contacting parts are made of stainless steel AISI 316 / DIN1.4401.
  • Available in tank sizes of 250, 500, 1000, 2000, and 3000 liters.
  • Interior/exterior surfaces have a 2B finish with polished welds, with product-contacting surfaces having Ra< 1 μm.
  • Options for heating/cooling jackets and insulation.
  • Top-mounted manway cover with optional safety lock and grid.
  • Multiple liquid inlets and a bottom mixer outlet.
  • Fittings comply with ISO, DIN standards.
  • Sanitary design for CIP cleaning with a rotating spray ball.
  • Three mixer unit sizes with standard and high shear mixing impellers.
  • Directly coupled norm motor, fully encapsulated, with IP55 protection.
  • Double mechanical shaft seal for water flushing, with FDA quality seal materials.

APV Flex-Mix™ Liquiverter-1

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
