Bangkok-based J-Tec Thailand recently supplied an advanced blending line to one of the Indonesian plants of a major international manufacturer of baby foods. The vertical blending tower mainly consists of four different levels: bag discharging level, blending level, sieving/magnetic separation level and packaging level.

The heart of the production process is located at the blending level. In order to attain a perfect homogeneous mixture, a double-shaft paddle mixer has been installed. 

The blender is equipped with a weighing system that verifies if the discharged amount is correct. Another advantage of the blender is the short mixing time, allowing the customer comfortably to reach predetermined production targets. In addition product degradation and particle breakage is minimised. Two large bottom doors allow the mixture to be quickly discharged into an underneath hopper, further reducing batch times. J-Tec Material Handling has its head office in Belgium. www.j-tec.com
