Celsius, Drunen, the Netherlands – which operates from the same address as its sister company Van Beek – has developed the Celsimix for certain applications in the food and chemical industry which are beyond the capabilities of standard mixers. The prototype design started as a project for mixing caramel and nuts, but in the meantime further applications have been found in the chemical industry. For example a carpet tile factory is using the Celsimix to mix limestone with polyolefins. Its secret lies in its hollow screws and hollow casing. A heating fluid circulates through them at the temperature at which the substances mix best.

 

Celsius supplies the Celsimix as standard in an easy-clean design. The unit is available in four different models for capacities of 700, 1200, 2450 and 3600 litres per hour. It is made as standard from stainless steel and can be supplemented with options to make it suitable for any specific application or situation, including ATEX compliance. www.van-beek.nl
