Dinnissen launches new mixing technique
Press Release
Dinnissen Process Technology and K-Tron are introducing a new variant of Pandora End of Line Mixing especially suited for significantly reducing rework.
Accurate feeders from K-tron respond extremely quickly to the process controls, and the new variant of the Pandora End of Line Mixing concept is fitted with a special batch-start-up-setting, based on intelligent cut-off valves which close off the mixer during the initial start-up phase.
As a result, a new mixing process is carried out during the start-up phase in accordance with the principle of batch mixing, thereby reducing start-up losses.
Finally, Pandora End of Line Mixing is equipped with highly precise control technology, which manages the entire mixing process and significantly reduces rework. This reduction of rework offers users the benefit of being able to realise significant savings with regard to investments in the collection and recycling of rework and the cleaning costs during the production process.
The new mixing concept retains the original classic characteristics of the Pandora End of Line Mixing, and will be introduced to the market this summer.
