Washing up is no chore for Greerco Mixers

Equipped with a variable speed drive that adjusts to actual production capacity, the in-line Greerco mixers first carry out the dilution (with deionised water) of FAES (fatty acid ester sulphonate) with 70 % active matter, which is taken directly from the storage tank.

As soon as contact is made with the water, a gel phase (70 –> 30 %) is formed, requiring the Greerco mixers to dilute the base product down to a required concentration of less than 30 %. At the same time, other surfactants and products needed for the basic formulation are added and mixed into the diluted material.
The Greerco mixers then process the base materials, which requires a temperature-sensitive perfume to be added, together with components such as a matting agent, pigment and preservatives. A Kenics Static Mixer from Chemineer can also be used for this process.
Requiring just one pass of the components through the mixer to make them ready for processes downstream, the in-line Greerco – among its numerous application capabilities is also efficient and effective for rapid blending in the preparation of coatings, the emulsification of mayonnaise and the de-lumping of pharmaceutical slurries.
