Manufacturing explosives demands a really gentle mixing process, and the Lindor mixer has filled the bill precisely for Blastexpol of Poland, who supplies half of the country's industrial explosives and has praised the machine for a range of benefits "A major advantage of the Lindor mixer for use in our industry is that in the mixing drum itself, the system has no internal moving parts, making it extremely easy to clean," says Blastexpol

"At the same time, the excellent processing by the mixer has been extremely positively received".
The mixers, available in the UK from Orthos, proved their potential in testing by the Blastexpol parent company Westspreng in Germany.
The system was installed to mix ammonium nitrate fluid oil explosives and also to blend 'premix' mixtures of various solids used as components for further processing.
Because of the nature of explosives, it is essential not to bring shear forces or frictional heat into the product during the mixing of ingredients.
The Lindor mixers have been shown to mix the products gently and homogeneously, but at a very fast rate of just a minute or two for 500kg batches.
Not only have the mixing results fully met the required expectations, but over the first six months the mixer has operated absolutely problem-free.
"Based on our experience," adds Blastexpol, "we have no hesitation in fully recommending Lindor mixers.
One further particular point in favour of the Lindor system is the extremely low energy consumption of the mixer".
The Lindor mixing and blending system was originally developed to provide gentle and thorough processing of delicate and temperature-sensitive materials.
Its unique rotating drum design uses internal tapered scoops to induce a 3-dimensional figure-of-eight flow pattern that gently but completely blends the media, without 'dead' spaces or unmixed product.
The machines are self-discharging, with virtually no product left in the drum.
The absence of any internal moving parts such as rakes and ploughs gives operating advantages and avoids product degradation by eliminating shear forces and friction-induced heating.
The Lindor range comprises 12 production scale models of 70 to 14,000 litre capacity and a 10-litre laboratory/pilot plant unit. Request a free brochure from Orthos (Engineering) ...
