Blender for reproducible trial batches
The new Lindor 10-litre 'gentle-touch' blender from Orthos is a table-top mixing machine with the same internal blending drum design as full-size Lindor machines of 70 to 14,000 litres
The gentle blender gives mixing results which can be extrapolated and applied to the larger units This makes it an ideal pilot plant and laboratory machine for producing small, trial batches and special orders as well as performing experimental work, particularly in the food and pharmaceutical industries

Effective cleaning aid for tumbler screens
A combination of ultrasonic and air mesh-cleaning techniques introduced for Allgaier reciprocating tumbler screens in ultra-fine screening applications is available in the UK from Orthos.
The 'unique' horizontally-mounted rotating drum design is entirely free of separately moving parts, such as mixing blades and impellers that apply shear forces to the product and cause deterioration both mechanically and as a result of friction-induced heating.
Blending is achieved instead by tapered scoops that are an integral part of the inner surface of the drum.
Running the full length of the drum, these scoops induce a non-degrading, 3-dimensional figure-of-eight flow pattern in the product.
The mixing drum is absolutely free of 'dead' spaces, so that all material is equally blended, and the machines are self-emptying with virtually 100% discharge.
Mixing times are typically between just 1 and 4 minutes, which also protects the product.
Energy savings on all Lindor machines apply because of no external mixing mechanisms being required. Request a free brochure from Orthos (Engineering) ...
