Mixing Without the Disadvantages of Pneumatic Transport

The Lean Mixing concept offers a integrated solution for mixing powders, granules and granulates, including a system for transporting the raw ingredients as well as the finished product – without the disadvantages of pneumatic transport, like an increased risk of product damage, higher energy costs and contamination risks as well as extra handling.

Lean Mixing utilizes big bags in which the ingredients have to be lifted only once. Once the big bags are hoisted, they are transported via an automatic route guidance system to the proper unloading position on the transfer station and unloaded. The process operator then attaches the big bags to the discharging stations in a dust-free environment, connecting them to feeder valves specially developed by Dinnissen.

These valves ensure that the feeded ingredients are precisely weighed out when leaving the bag or entering the production process and can handle a wide range of capacities from 6 kg/h to as much as 50 t/h.

Cost-Efficient and Easy-to-Clean Mixing Method

The concept also integrates the double-shaft Pegasus Mixer, which gently suspends powders, granules and granulates in the air while mixing them. The unique fluidized zone that is created in the process makes this multifunctional processing a tool for mixing ingredients accurately, quickly and energy-efficiently.
