Mixers
USM
The stable and easy to operate Universal Quick Mixer USM type is used wherever pourable bulk materials must be quickly and economically mixed.
| Application | Precise blending of bulk materials. |
| Products | For example: granules, masterbatch, compounds, agglomerates, powder, flakes, cut / ground freight. |
| Form | The USM consists essentially of a cylindrical container with a cone and a centrally-oriented mixing screw. |
| Mixing screw | Mixing screw is located in a mixing tube |
| Function | The product is taken up by the mixing screw and is conveyed upwards through the mixing tube. At the top of the screw an ejector (distributes) casts the material downward, spreading it finely throughout the mixing bin. |
| Feeding | The mixer can be fed either through a filling device at the top or by the optional lower feed hopper. |
| Maintenance | The mixer is entirely accessible through a large cover flap and manholes in the cylinder and the cone. Since there are no dead areas, the machine can be quickly and thoroughly cleaned, then used with other products. |
| Emptying | Emptying can be adjusted to various aggregates, and to individual units. |
| Cylinder Ø | 25 in to 110 in (600 mm to 2,850 mm) |
| Height with direct drive | 70 in. to 395 in. (1,800 mm to 10,100 mm.) |
| Volume | Volumes from 35 ft³ to 1,410 ft³ (Volumes from 1 m³ to 40 m³) |
| Start | Mixer starts working even when filled. Interval-like flow possible. |
| Quiet operation | Runs almost noiselessly. |
| No Dust | No dust formation around the mixer during mixing operation. |
| Demixing | No demixing, even with long running times. |
| Emptying | Material can be diverted into a cone chute. |
| Cleaning | Can be accessed for cleaning through the large cover flap, as well as through manholes in the cylinder and cone. |
| Storage | Specially designed bearings with optimal seals. |
| Stable | A solidly constructed mixer. “Made in Germany”. |
| Economical | Short mixing times and low energy consumption. |
SFM
The stable and easy-to-operate SFM mixer is specially designed for light and sensitive solids, developed and used for products that need to be quickly and thoroughly, but gently mixed. It makes for optimal homogenization of products. The SFM also allows for quick and easy cleaning.
| Application | Precise, gentle and holistic blending of bulk materials which must be continuously and thoroughly mixed, or which tend to bridge. |
| Products | For example: granules, masterbatch, compounds, agglomerates, powder, flakes, cut / ground freight. |
| Form | The SFM consists essentially of a cylindrical container with a cone and a spiral, close-clearance mixing screw. |
| Mixing screw | Mixing screw spiraling and close-clearance mixing screw. |
| Function | The product is mixed homogeneously and permanently by the spiral and close-clearance mixing screw. No dead zones in the container. |
| Feeding | The mixer can be filled in various ways, for example, from above via a nozzle or through a side hopper. |
| Maintenance | The mixer is entirely accessible through a large cover flap and manholes in the cylinder and the cone. Since there are no dead areas, the machine can be quickly and thoroughly cleaned, then used with other products. |
| Emptying | Emptying can be adjusted to various aggregates, and to individual units |
| Cylinder Ø | 25 in to 110 in (600 mm to 2,850 mm) |

MBM
The stable and easy to operate Quick Mixer MBM type is specifically designed for sensitive bulk materials and is used where products need to be handled gently and quickly mixed. It makes for an optimal homogenization of products. The MBM allows a quick and easy cleaning.
| Application | Gentle and rapid mixing of bulk materials. |
| Products | For example: granules, masterbatch, compounds, agglomerates, powder, flakes, cut / ground freight. |
| Form | The Quick Mixer MBM type based on the well-proven principle of a vertical, centrally arranged screw. |
| Mixing screw | Mixing screw stay free inside the mixer. |
| Function | The product is continuously and gently mixed by mixing screw and it makes for a optimal homogenization of products. |
| Feeding | The mixer can be fed in various ways, for example, through a filling device at the top or by the optional lower feed hopper. |
| Emptying | The outlet pipe, which is located centrally below the cone, provides a very good emptying of residual material. |
| Maintenance | All places inside the mixer are freely accessible through a large cover flap and manholes in the cylinder and the cone. There are no dead areas, so the machine can be quickly and effectively cleaned and converted to other products. |
| Cylinder Ø | 35 in to 95 in (920 mm to 2,500 mm) |

Silos
Stock Silo
Stock Silos are used for interim storage of sophisticated and high-quality bulk solids, such as pellets, raw material or powder. We offer standard silo diameters up to 110 in (2,850 mm) but we will gladly add additional diameters for our customers.
| Products | For example: plastics, raw materials, pellets, agglomerates, flakes, cut / ground freight. |
| Feeding | Tangential feeding via pressure transport. |
| Manhole | Manhole with end switches for better maintenance of the silo. |
| Volume | Per demand. |
| Materials | Aluminum, standard- or stainless steel. |
| Railing/vertical ladder | Optional, with guard rails on top and vertical ladder, including back protection. |
| Options | Other options and sizes available on request. |
Fiber Silo
Due to their relatively low bulk density, flow properties, consistency, or static electricity, light-weight materials such as fibers tend easily to bridge when being stored and discharged. The purpose of the Fiber Silo is precisely to avoid this unwanted effect.
| Low bulk density | Specially for the processing of fibers with a low bulk density. Also suitable for various flakes and powder. |
| Bulk density | Bulk densities of 3 – 6 lbs/ft³ (50 to 100 kg/m³) |
| Agitator shaft | The agitator feeds the material continuously towards the discharge screw. |
| Material Size | Typical fiber lengths are 0.4 – 1.2 inches (10 to 30 mm) in length |
| Feeding | Tangential feeding via pressure transport. |
| Conical | The conical design ensures a sloughing of the material and prevents bridging of the material. |
| Outlet | Up to 3 controllable material outlets possible. |
| Discharge | Consistent and adjustable discharge by means of separate discharge/ screw. |
| Manhole | Manhole with limit switches for better maintenance of the silo. |
| Volume | Typical fiber lengths are 0.5 to 1 in (10 to 30 mm) in length. |
| Materials | Standard- or stainless steel. |
| Railing/vertical ladder | Optional, with guard rails on top and vertical ladder, including back protection. |
| Options | Other options and sizes available on request. |
Film Flake Silo
Due to their relatively low bulk density, flow properties, consistency, or static electricity, light-weight materials such as film flakes tend easily to bridge when being stored and discharged. The purpose of the Film Flake Silo is precisely to avoid this unwanted effect.
| Low bulk density | Specially for the processing of film flakes with low bulk density. |
| Bulk density | Bulk densities of 1.5 – 20 lbs/ft³ (20 to 300 kg/m³) |
| Mixing Screw | Three vertically-mounted mixing screws. |
| Homogenization | Constant movement of the material promotes homogenization of film flakes of variable thickness and size. |

| Discharge | The material sinks smoothly. A trough screw extending over the complete length of the silo ensures a uniform and adjustable discharge. |
| Manhole | Manhole with limit switches for better maintenance of the silo. |
| Volume | By default, block-type silos with a volume up to 2,100 ft³ (60 m³) are available. |
| Materials | Standard- or stainless steel. |
