Vorteile
Da Getränke durch stetig neue Zutaten immer raffinierter werden, besteht die Herausforderung darin, den Produktionsprozess trotz dieser neuen Zutaten unkompliziert zu halten.
Der Tetra Pak® Mixer RJCI 4X kann alle Zutaten, die heute in der Getränkeindustrie verarbeitet werden, entleeren und mischen. Damit lassen sich unterschiedliche Verpackungsformate entleeren, etwa durch Ansauglanzen für Pulver oder Flüssigkeiten oder durch das Zuführen von Zutaten in einen Trichter oder die Dosierung an verschiedenen Punkten einer Rezirkulationsschleife. Der Tetra Pak Mixer RJCI 4X bietet eine effiziente und flexible Lösung in einer Branche, die durch die stark zunehmende Vielfalt von Zutaten immer komplexer wird. Ein Mixer für alles!

Merkmale
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 and radial jet mixer technology avoid clogging and enable fast in-feed of powder and liquids.
Radial jet mixer technology
Symmetrical mixing field for efficient, homogenous mixing
Radial jet technology works with the injector to minimize air incorporation and foaming thanks to calm, even mixing that enables instant wetting of powders. Powders dissolve fast without creating a vortex at the surface. 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.
Smart, ergonomic operator table
Add powder and liquid ingredients at floor level
The smart, ergonomic operator table lets operators work on the floor to add ingredients at floor level from sacks, Big Bags and various kinds of packaging formats quickly and easily – with an ergonomic and automated solution and a large operator-friendly HMI. It also enables easy water rinsing of the funnel and concentrate drums with a water gun, ensuring that no powder or concentrate goes to waste during addition. The floor level operation minimizes investment cost since no screw conveyor, pneumatic system or platform is required for adding ingredients.
Wet feeding
Easy handling of water-soluble powders
Powders with a tendency to form lumps can be a problem for operators. Crushing the lumps may require a manual intervention using physical force. This is how equipment can become damaged and scratched. But lumps are not a problem with our wet feeding solution. If required, the feeding hopper will automatically fill with liquid creating turbulence for mixing. This will help to separate lumps and start the dissolving process before lumps can clog the system.
Optionen
Extraction & Recovery System (ERS)
Full recovery of dust back into the product
Securing a safe working environment free of powder dust is important. An efficient dust extraction system is key to meeting this demand. Our unique dust Extraction and Recovery System (patent pending) is able to recover all the ingredient dust and pump it back into the product. This means there is no loss of ingredient through the release of dust. On top of this, unlike dust extractor fans, this system has no filter maintenance and is fully cleanable.
Auto Mixing Device (AMD)
For optimal high shear mixing in soft drinks
Within the soft drinks industry, the usual gum concentrations in the final beverage are within the range of 0.2 - 0.4%. Our AMD can handle concentrations up to 1% at an ambient dissolving temperature (20°C) without the need for an expensive and energy-consuming high shear mixing pump. This static mixing device can be enabled or disabled depending on the recipe or the ingredients to be dissolved.
Ingredients Loop Extension (ILE)
No need for separate lines for each ingredient
Our hydraulic conveying technology allows us to extend the recirculation loop with more than one dosing point. By doing this, we can include big bag discharge station such as Tetra Pak® Big Bag Liquefier and Tetra Pak® Big Bag Discharger, or additional feeding hoppers directly into our conveying loop. This gives our customers more layout flexibility for their line. What’s more, we can clean all the lines and thereby eliminate cross contamination and microbiological issues when using dry conveying lines.
Three lances to choose from
Choose the lance that fits your needs
We offer three optional lances for wet and dry intake: firstly, a powder lance for dry ingredients; secondly, a small liquid lance for low viscosity liquid ingredients and, thirdly, a large liquid lance for high viscosity liquid ingredients. This large lance works with water injection and has an outer diameter of 48.3 mm. Water injection technology liquefies highly viscous concentrates at the suction head of the lance to increase the flow rate.
