Powder blending for allergen control and cleaning efficiency
Powder mixing is a critical process in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries, where precision, efficiency, and hygiene are paramount. To meet these requirements, Gericke has launched the GMS Multiflux mixer and innovative AirCIP system, aimed at improving allergen control and cleaning efficiency.
The GMS Multiflux mixer ensures short mixing times, excellent homogeneity, and gentle product handling. Its counter-rotating rotors create a fluidized bed, allowing particles to mix freely without excessive force. This prevents density changes and preserves ingredient integrity, making it ideal for applications requiring minimal concentrations of ingredients.
When it comes to cleaning, Gericke’s AirCIP system offers an automated solution. Air pulses dislodge residues from the mixer’s interior, while a targeted airflow efficiently removes remaining powder. This not only eliminates cross-contamination risks but also significantly reduces product loss and manual cleaning time. The system is fully customizable and compatible with Gericke’s GMS Multiflux and GBM batch mixers, as well as retrofittable to existing setups.
