VacuShear
provides the most ergonomic, accurate and fastest way
to convey and feed up to 400 pounds per minute of powder
to make up liquid slurries. With field installations ranging
from 20 to 1500 gallons, we have the expertise and experience
to assist you in designing a complete system whether you
are handling 50 lb. bags or 2,000 lb. Super Sacs.
- Vacuum convey, subsurface
feed, and mix in one step
- Eliminates entrained
air and foaming while mixing
- Reduce dusting while
feeding dry ingredients
- Provides more ergonomic
powder addition
- Supplied Rotosolver®
high shear mixer (complies with 3-A Standard #73-00)
- No bottom seals or
wearing parts in product zone
- Designed for full process
automation when integrated with flowmeters and gain-in-weight
controls on load cells. Also available as manually operated
pilot scale mixer.
- Stainless Steel Construction
How
It Works
Sanitary
Mixing Vacuum Liqui-Processor - VacuShearA. Liquid
materials are introduced into the mix tank to a level
of 1/2 to full batch height. The Rotosolver is turned
on from the mixer control panel.
B. The vacuum pump
is engaged whereby vacuum builds in the tank, providing
positive suction at the in-tank delivery tube.
C. Dry powders,
solids, semi-solids or liquids are introduced via the
vacuum delivery system directly from bags, drums, bag
dump stations or loss-in-weight feeders. A unique benefit
is the ability to store and convey all materials from
a remote, dry area and avoid messy clean-ups of typical
powder additions. Powder feed rates up to 400 lbs/min
will automatically occur as vacuum is maintained.
D. All dry materials
are introduced below the liquid level immediately at the
mixing head. Constant vacuum eliminates aeration, foaming
and dusting commonly generated by conventional processors.
E. Once charging
is complete and isolation valves are closed, the Rotosolver
can be shut off or slowed down, while vacuum is maintained
to allow complete deaeration and de-foaming to occur.
When all parameters are satisfied, the tank can be unloaded
under atmospheric conditions.
