The Hotmix technologies, designed by S.C. Costruzioni Meccaniche, optimize the mixing (and even the dosage) of numerous chemical substances such as fluids of different viscosity, powders of many granule size to dilute in liquids, and pastes of varying consistency.
The machine is made up of a tank in which all the ingredients are placed before being mixed and heated so as to homogenize them and get the desired mixture.
The potential configurations are limitless, from a simple, manually loaded container to a fully atomized, PLC managed system.
Main characteristics
-The size ranges from a minimum of 500 to a maximum of 8000 liters.
-The tank can be positioned on the ground or on an overhead platform to facilitate emptying of the desired mixture without the use of pumps.
-The tank can be positioned on load cells, to check weight in real time.
-To speed up and facilitate mixing, the container tank can be heated either electrically or through hot fluids, according to the customer’s needs.
-The system can also be provided with suction vents for product exhalation/ fumes and with a specific abatement system meeting current legislations.
-Inside the tank, the rotor device known as the “mixer” may be fitted with blades of different shapes or with an “anchor mixer” with scrapers on the bottom and on the side wall.
-The ingredients can be put in manually or through pipes equipped with electrically or hydraulically powered stop valves. Upstream, electric and/or pneumatic pumps are installed to withdraw the ingredients from the storage silos and feed them to the mixing system.
-The most advanced equipment, featuring load cells, feeding of the ingredients through pipes, stop valves and feed pumps, lets the process be fully automatic, releasing employees from the risks of handling chemical substances.
-The system can even be set up in environments subject to ATEX regulation.
S.C. Costruzioni Meccaniche also manufactures AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel silos for the storage of chemical products, in the shape and size required by the customer. The company can supply and install the system at the customer’s premises complete with pipes, electrical equipment and the software needed to manage the whole mixing cycle.
