Features
Powder handling
Less dust when pouring powders
When you add powders manually into the hopper or at floor level through the suction spear, the powder is drawn into the mixer via a vacuum. The patented injector design allows us to create pressure due to the Venturi effect and to aspirate ingredients directly into the circulation stream. The powder is sucked into the mixer, minimizing the release of dust into the air.
Injector technology
Immediate wetting at point of entry
Wetting of powders begins immediately in the injector. The unique design allows us to create a vacuum due to the Venturi effect, so ingredients are sucked into the mixer at the point of entry. When powder is poured into the top of a tank, undissolved powder can sink to the bottom and lead to clogging over time. Our innovative injector technology and radial jet mixing avoid clogging and enable fast in-feed of powder and liquids.
Wide flexibility
Large variety of ingredient applications
This mixer is the ideal size for a variety of preparatory steps in beverage production such as dissolving a stabiliser like citric acid to prepare a stock solution for a bigger batch, pre-dissolving an aspartame slurry for a diet drink or pre-homogenizing fruit concentrates and flavours as a beverage base. What’s more, you can dissolve challenging stabilisers, thickeners and gums at ambient temperatures thanks to our advanced mixing technologies.
Low shear
Save energy for dissolving and mixing
With our mixer, you can dissolve and mix challenging ingredients like gums, thickeners and stabilisers with less energy and lower investment costs compared to a shear mixing device. These ingredients tend to form ‘fisheyes’ and dry powder capsules when not wetted properly. However, there is no need for an expensive shear mixing device when Tetra Pak® Mixer RJCI B does the same job of dissolving gums and stabilisers while using less energy.
Radial jet mixer technology
No foaming, splashing or sinking
The radial jet mixer nozzle forces liquid at high speed into the tank and creates turbulence for agitation. This avoids the disadvantages of a mechanical agitator, which increases air incorporation to create foaming. Particles do not sink and collect at the bottom because of the turbulence created by the nozzle. It’s also reassuring to know that the nozzle does not create high shear. This helps to preserve product quality.
Options
Spray gun
For easy rinsing of containers
An optional spray gun enables product residues in canisters or other containers to be completely rinsed out. You can also use the spray gun to rinse away any residues left in the hopper. The amount of water added is monitored with a flow meter so you can keep to the specifications of a recipe.
Suction spear
Why lift when you can use the spear?
The optional suction spear allows you to aspirate dry or liquid ingredients from any packaging format without lifting. This is the ideal solution for bigger formats such as super bags that are too heavy to lift. When you choose the popular suction spear, you can empty ingredient containers of all shapes and sizes from floor level quickly. Just plug the spear into the hole in the hopper that leads into the mixer tank. No need to use any tools.
