Ideal for the densification of several powders. Typical Ideal for the densification of several powders. Typical retention time of common products is 15 to 20 seconds. During that retention time of common products is 15 to 20 seconds. During that time the product is subjected to intense mechanical shear, causing time the product is subjected to intense mechanical shear, causing the fragile spray dried granules to break up and densify. Increases the fragile spray dried granules to break up and densify. Increases in product density of up to 50% in product density of up to 50% If further densification is required, If further densification is required, product is then transferred to a KM product is then transferred to a KM series continuous mixer, delivering series continuous mixer, delivering up to 100% density increase. up to 100% density increase. To an optional KM Continuous Mixer, for up to 100% Densification Littleford Day Inc.
The “Fluidized Bed” Operation for Mixing & Drying: Mixing elements are designed to force the product into appro- priate components of axial & radial motion. The unique mixing action of the FKM series mixers is accomplished by a horizontal shaft which revolves at a high rate of speed rapidly projecting and hurling the mix materials away from the vessel wall into free space, filling the entire vessel. The mixing action causes the materials to crisscross in the direction of the vessel walls and inversely back again, providing a high volume rate of material transfer. The mechanically fluidized bed of particles is the basis of it´s mixing efficiency and accuracy, including mixtures with diverse specific gravities as well as other problems such as liquid incorporation and heat transfer. heat transfer. The unique action created by the movement of the mixing elements produce intense but gentle intermingling of the materials of the mix in a mechanically fluidized bed. Liquid dispersion is done by spraying liquids against fluidized powder, by Top and / or Bottom Mounted Nozzles. INCREASES PRODUCT DENSITY UP TO 50%
