You spin me right round

Bran + Luebbe's Centrisol mixer is designed to create solutions and suspensions on a continuous basis. Combining precise metering of solids with blending, the single-unit device avoids production bottlenecks that can affect process efficiency.
The Centrisol system disperses solids into liquid while maintaining optimum mixing of the components, according to Bran + Luebbe. This allows even multi-component mixtures to be processed continuously - something which, up to now, has been all but impossible.
The device meters solids into the mixing chamber via a screw feeder, while liquids are introduced at the same time. The cylindrical mixing housing contains an externally driven rotor disc that propels the liquid inside against the walls. The solid particles fall directly onto the rotor, which flings them into the liquid.
The company believes that the Centrisol mixer is ideal for applications in the food and drugs industries.
