PSS AS single-level mixers are designed for food industry operations and allow fast, efficient and gentle mixing of any type of product. Thanks to their modern, specific design, these mixers achieve short mixing times. The product is mixed by paddles in an almost square single-level hopper.
The mixing paddles gently move the product in all directions to obtain the desired final structure. The clearance between the paddles and the hopper is minimal, which prevents any compression or crushing of the product. PSS AS machines also optimise fast emptying thanks to their single-level hopper and two drain openings, which minimises final product residue, considerably shortens the running time between batches and eliminates cross-contamination.
Advantages
- Mixing of any type of product
- Homogeneous distribution and high-quality mixing, whatever the product structure
- Mixing paddles in an almost square single-level hopper
- The mixing paddles move the product gently in all directions
- No compression or crushing of the product
- Fast emptying and minimal final product residue thanks to two drain openings
- Setting of the required programmes and process steps
- N2 or CO2 connections placed behind covers
- Mirror-polished surfaces; easy and fast sanitation
- The cooling system considerably extends product shelf life and reduces bacterial growth
Control
PSS AS machines are operated from the PSS CCP central control panel, whose ergonomics allow an optimum working position. The colour touch screen makes it easy to set up programmes and process steps. Paddle speed, mixing time and emptying time are adjustable. The optional nitrogen (N2) or carbon dioxide (CO2) cooling system allows the cooling, pulses and intervals to be adjusted. In the START configuration, the push-button control panel is located on the side of the machine.
Safety and handling
PSS AS mixers comply with European standards. All electrical and moving parts are integrated into the frame and are therefore protected. With the optional cooling system, the N2 or CO2 connections are placed behind covers, ensuring the safety of operating staff.
Hygiene and sanitation
PSS bowls are made of AISI 304 stainless steel and all internal and external surfaces in contact with the product are polished. Their hygienic design aims to minimise bacterial growth. The absence of overlapping surfaces and perfect sealing allow easy, fast cleaning and disinfection.
PSS cooling system (N2 or CO2)
PSS AS mixers can be supplied with a top-injection N2 cooling system and a top- or bottom-injection CO2 cooling system. The cooling system considerably extends product shelf life and limits bacterial growth. The required crystallisation is achieved and the product keeps its optimum structure during subsequent processing steps.
