Hands-on design offered by Chemineer for optimum mixing results

Chemineer is offering food and pharmaceutical processors unprecedented access to its 3D CAD design tool, enabling its customers to have a virtual model of the mixer. This visual aid means that a design can be easily appraised and then modified pre-production, to give the ultimate bespoke service and optimum results, first time.

“There’s always a mixer out there that can do a bit of mixing for somebody”, said Chemineer’s Sales Manager, Neil Cathie, “But the complexity of today’s applications and expectations for top quality from manufacturers and consumers requires proper expertise and experience to achieve top quality mixing”.

Cathie explained that increasingly specialised designs to meet the food and pharmaceutical industry’s hygienic process applications convinced Chemineer that by offering a hands-on approach to its mixing knowledge, food and pharmaceutical process engineers could explore every angle for enhancing their processes.

In keeping with ASME BPE 2002 design guides, Chemineer’s mixer design options feature
a comprehensive range of cost-effective and long-life and benefits for food and pharmaceutical manufacturing, including suitable polish grade to minimise the risk bacteria from scratches on the surface finish.

Choice and advice on the most suitable mixer impeller also forms part of Chemineer’s detailed design service, including All Welded impellers for the cleanest design that requires the least maintenance to Chemineer’s Smoothline impeller that allows larger impellers to be passed through manways and fitted in vessel.
