Powder Mixers

Alfa Laval powder mixers combine pumping and powder-dissolving technologies for homogeneous wet and dry ingredient blending, cutting energy costs by up to 75% compared to other powder mixers.

Cut energy costs by up to 75%

Combine pumping and powder-dissolving technologies for quick, efficient powder dispersion, wet and dry ingredient blending, and transfer of the homogeneous powder-liquid mixture for onward processing.
Single electric motor drive powers high-shear mixing across a wide variety of product formulations.
Handle formulations with different viscosities, densities and volumes, increasing process and product flexibility.
Draw powder into the unit while simultaneously pumping the resulting powder-liquid mixture.
Increase mixing efficiency, productivity, product quality and yield while reducing total cost of ownership.
Cut process time, emissions, and installation, energy, raw material and maintenance costs.
Combine mixing and cleaning capabilities in a single unit.
Provide fast return on investment and low total cost of ownership through less waste and more sustainable use of resources.
Available as stationary units and mobile units.
Can serve as a discharge pump after mixing, or as a Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) recirculation pump to clean the tank when used with a rotary jet mixer.

Specification	Value
Energy cost reduction compared to other powder mixers	up to 75%
Powder-liquid mixture pressures	more than 4 bar

The two-stage inline powder mixer comprises a two-stage pump with a rotor-stator, a funnel and an injector. It is typically integrated into a circulation loop and connected to a batch tank.
In the first stage, liquid ingredients circulate through the tank. Powdered ingredients enter through the funnel.
A valve under the funnel opens, and the injector beneath it creates vacuum conditions at the funnel outlet, drawing powder into the rotor-stator and pre-blending it with the liquid.
The rotor-stator (single rings) creates the main shear, blending powder and liquid into a homogeneous mixture.
In the second stage, the pump’s impeller creates the final shear and transfers the mixture into the tank under high pressure.
A portion of the mixture recirculates through the injector to the first phase. Liquid flow through the injector creates vacuum conditions at the funnel outlet for dynamic suction of powder into the liquid.
