Dinnissen Process Technology, Sevenum, the Netherlands, is in the forefront of companies developing innovative mixing systems for feed, food, pharma and chemical applications. A key component here is the company’s recently developed smart mixing software tool developed in-house for automatic management of the complete mixing process. During SOLIDS Antwerp as well as at Anuga FoodTec, Dinnissen will present an important software update, Smart Mixing 8.0, which marks a further improvement in speed and energy efficiency as well as the prevention of sparking and ignition hazards. Starting this year, Smart Mixing 8.0 has become a standard component of all mixing solutions supplied by the company.
 

While ingredients are being added to the mixer, the software removes air and creates a partial vacuum. This allows ingredients to be added to the mixer much more quickly and also prevents problems in relation to pressure build-up and the emission of fine particles. The improved software tool also distributes the ingredients even more uniformly inside the mixer so that carrier substances and micro ingredients are spread more evenly over the contents of the mixer, thereby increasing the speed of the entire process. The newest Smart Mixing 8.0 software optimises the tip speed of paddle mixers to <1m/s in order to further minimise the risk of sparking and ignition when working with ingredients that present an explosion hazard. www.dinnissen.nl
