Inline mixer for dispersing easily dissolved powders into a liquid, a simple and effective solution typically used for products such as for recombined dairy products, sugar solutions and brine.
Designed for dispersion of highly soluble powders at low total solids content. Powder is added to the mixer via a butterfly valve. The valve controls the flow of powder and prevents air entering the mixer.

How the Flex-Mix TPM+ Powder Mixer Works
The mixer is based on a centrifugal pump and operates on a Venturi method. An injector pipe is built coaxially into the pump inlet with a double pipe creating a Venturi. The liquid is added in the outer pipe section with the powder in the centre.
The powder hopper funnel is mounted above the mixer with a butterfly throttle valve regulating the powder quantity to the mixer. During operation the liquid is accelerated by means of the mixing head which creates a vacuum centrally in the injector pipe causing the powder to be sucked in and mixed with the liquid in the mixer housing.
In addition to the pump pressure the mixing head generates turbulence and shear forces in the mixture ensuring effective and homogeneous mixing.
