PSS SM mixers are designed for food industry operations and allow fast mixing of any type of product. They guarantee homogeneous, gentle mixing whatever the product structure. Thanks to their special design, these mixers achieve optimum mixing times. The product is mixed by maximally overlapping paddles in an almost square two-level hopper. The rotation of the paddles ensures gentle agitation of the product.
Moving the product in all directions produces the desired final structure. The minimal clearance between the paddles and the hopper prevents any compression or crushing of the product. PSS SM mixers also optimise fast emptying thanks to their two-level hopper, minimise final product residue and thus considerably shorten the running time between batches. They also eliminate the risk of cross-contamination.
Advantages
- Mixing of any type of product
- Homogeneous distribution and high-quality mixing, whatever the product structure
- Shortest mixing times
- Maximally overlapping paddles in an almost square two-level hopper
- Paddles move the product gently in all directions
- No compression or crushing of the product
- Fast emptying and minimal final product residue
- 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 SM units are operated from the PSS CCP central control panel, whose ergonomic design allows 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. With the optional N2 or CO2 cooling system, cooling can be adjusted by pulses and intervals.
Safety and handling
PSS SM mixers comply with European standards. All electrical and moving parts are housed inside 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 SM 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 simple, fast cleaning. The mechanical seal, located 150 mm behind the hopper, makes dismantling and cleaning easier.
PSS cooling system (N2 or CO2)
PSS SM 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.
