The Extrud-O-Mix® is a unique product line that eliminates typical boundaries between mixing / blending and agglomeration equipment. This efficient low pressure mixing and forming extruder can generate uniform, free flowing, dust free pellets or particles. The Extrud-O-Mix® is primarily designed for combining dry powders with liquid streams to produce a paste or dough suitable for extrusion. However, with efficient continuous mixing, adjustable shear input, and heat transfer available in the housing and the rotor the application list becomes very diverse.
Compacted products, including those extruded in high-pressure systems, generally have poor mechanical dispersion and/or dissolving rates. The Bepex International Extrud-O-Mix® uses the minimum force necessary to obtain a dust free particle with good particle integrity while maintaining excellent dispersibility.
One common application for the Extrud-O-Mix® is back mixing or simply forming wet cake products to improve drying efficiency. A more specialized approach is using the Extrud-O-Mix® as a product conditioner before spheronization and drying. The Extrud-O-Mix® is available in several arrangements and sizes from the lab scale Model EM-2 to high production units with 200 hp drives.
