Powder and liquid dispersion hand sanitizer making machine

Operating principle

The mixer is an integrated, skid mounted inline powder induction and dispersion system using a specially designed powder suction pump and proven high shear mixing technology for rapid incorporation and wetting out of difficult powders.

How it works

The mixer combines the suction capability of a "vacuum pump" with the wetting out and shearing capabilities of a high speed emulsifier, all within a user friendly, ergonomic package.

Powder is fed into the hopper from bags or can be directly conveyed from the source though a bag dump or even a bulk delivery system.

Powder bridging or rat holing is eliminated by the combination of the suction pump creating a constant vacuum within the flow stream.

Once the powder is sucked in through the pump, instantaneous fluidization of the powder begins, and this slurry is quickly pumped through our inline emulsifier, providing droplet and soft particle size reduction down to 4 to 5 microns upon exiting the unit.

Powder feed rate is controlled through regulating valves on the inlet, insuring that sticky gums, as well as free flowing granules, disperse quickly and at the proper concentrations to prevent product slugs or premature hydration.
