Lindor, Dordrecht, the Netherlands, states that it welcomes companies interested in acquiring one or more of its pre-owned gentle touch mixers.  These machines are available at short notice and, after reconditioning, are supplied under guarantee. A typical example is that a company's old Lindor mixer is still operating satisfactorily, but needs to be replaced owing to increasingly stringent food safety requirements. In such cases, the customer has the option of exchanging the old mixer for a new one. Lindor then reconditions the old mixer, making it suitable for many years of service in other applications. When a plant needs a mixer at very short notice, a reconditioned unit may provide the perfect solution. Depending on circumstances and requirements, a pre-owned mixer can be delivered within two to four weeks. The delivery time for a new mixer is usually 16 to 20 weeks or longer.

 

The very first mixer ever supplied by Lindor was recently given a new lease of life under these circumstances. This mixer had spent 26 years processing instant drinks powders for a company in the Netherlands. After reconditioning, it is now used daily in a detergent factory in Germany. Newer models of pre-owned mixers can also be given a second life in the food industry. Such machines may not meet requirements for mixing baby food, but are still perfectly suitable for use with many other, less critical products. Recently Lindor built a new test facility, where a 750-litre test mixer has been installed to carry out mixing tests in collaboration with customers. This enables the customer to experience, in practice, how a Lindor machine mixes its product. There are also test mixers with capacities of 10, 70 or 200 litres. Test mixers are replaced every two years. These fairly new, used test mixers are available for sale. Lindor mixers are robust and have a long service life. Apart from a rotating drum, they have very few moving parts. www.lindor.nl
