Applications
Beside simple agitating and mixing of liquid components shear flow mixers can be used for intensive mixing and smooth homogenizing of dry materials with liquids. Thereby, the raw materials’ characteristics are not destroyed and can develop in the mixture. In baking operations, e.g. flour is mixed with water, oil, yeast and cultures to liquid sponge and sourdough. After less than two minutes a homogenous product is generated which can be perfectly processed. For a better hydration a dough yield of TA 200 is recommendable. For example, dough for muffins, wafers and pancakes can be produced with the ShearDos. This mixing task can be realized batchwise or continuously in combination with other systems.
Design characteristics
Compact, stable and low-vibration stainless-steel construction. Cylindrical mixing hopper with stators on the hopper wall. The
vertical mixing cylinder has a cone shaped bottom in which the product is discharged. A rotor rotates in the hopper which is driven from above by a geared motor. The mixing process is based on the rotor-stator principle.
Cylindrical mixing hopper (stator) in stainless steel (inside ground, outside glass pearl blasted)
A hinged door in the hopper wall allows easy inspection and cleaning
60° discharge cone with discharge and connection stud to determine the filling height by a pressure transmitter
Additional design features of the ShearDos
Drive on top, angle and height adjustable
The removable lid allows cleaning from the top
Additional design features for the WIP variant (washing in place)
Removable filling stud
Cleaning heads (target jet cleaner) can manually used from outside
