Mixers for powders and granulates are an integral element of many industrial production processes, influencing the quality of the final product and the efficiency of the production itself. Mixing is one of the basic processes in bulk materials technology. At the same time, it is the most difficult, especially for heterogeneous materials and for the requirement of a continuous process. Choosing the right mixer is crucial, and the variety of solutions available on the market may make it difficult to decide which device to choose.
Fluidal mixers are simple and effective devices used for mixing loose materials, mainly in the food and construction industries.
BKFM series devices are recommended for mixing materials: powders and flours with low to medium density (≤800 kg / m3).
Biko Tech BKFM series fluidized bed mixers do not have moving parts and achieve extremely low operating costs due to the lack of the need to prepare portions of material/raw material for mixing.
As a manufacturer of mixers for bulk materials, we adapt each solution to the needs of various industrial industries. Biko Tech is always looking for the most economical solutions, which is why – whenever possible – we fluidize the material. BKFM mixers operate on the fluidization principle, using a stream of air or gas to keep the powders in a fluidized state. This allows for efficient mixing of materials because the powder particles are freely carried and mixed in the stream.
The use of fluidization in the mixing process also results in less abrasion than other stirred mixers, which, combined with extremely short mixing times, results in less product degradation as well as lower temperatures. This is important for materials sensitive to heat generated by the friction of material particles.
By using the discrete element method (DEM) to simulate the homogenization process of bulk materials, we can analyze the degree of mixing of various materials – exactly those that will be used in your production line.
