Lindor, Dordrecht, the Netherlands, recently supplied a purpose-designed mixer to the KÜTTNER Group, a leading global specialist builder of turnkey plants for metal producing and metal treating industries. For blending alloy pellets required in a downstream reactor, KÜTTNER was looking for a suitable mixer which would treat the products especially gently. After scale up tests at Lindor, this company’s gentle touch mixing technology was shown to provide the perfect solution. The mixer designed and built for KÜTTNER, which is fabricated from AISI 316L stainless steel, allows mixing of various products with powders and micro-granules.

 

At a completely new plant in China, alloys are produced which are used as aggregates for further high-value alloys. The product is applied for components in the aerospace industry and also for other hi-tech applications. Various materials are dosed in sequence, according to their specific weight in the mixer, and are subsequently fed into a reactor. Tests confirmed that a very homogeneous mix is achieved within a short time without damaging the sensitive pellets. Powders, granulate and pellets of different sizes are mixed together. Owing to the abrasive properties of the products, gland seals were integrated at both the inlet and the outlet. The mixer is equipped with an injection device for later introduction of a 3% emulsion. www.lindor.nl
