Alphie 20 Liter 3D Powder Mixer


Alphie 3D mixers are ideal for homogeneous mixing of powder – be it with different bulk density or different proportion of mixing or different shape and particle size. The best part is, separate and detachable mixing drums / containers / bins are loaded inside the mixing cage, meaning no cross contamination and exposure to work environment.

Our 20 liter model uses identical principals as the smaller R & D scale models. It means the machine shall rotate in similar three dimensional motion and shall yield same results.

Typical applications

It is ideal for use in medium to large batch production industries like food / nutrition, pharmaceuticals, metal powder, resin and plastic powder, bakery, spices, concentrates, nuclear fuel and many more applications.

Please see this video showing how to use smaller containers down to 2.0 liters.

Description

Standard mixers are built with structure made from Carbon steel. They are powder coated material after surface preparation.


We also offer GMP design where all exposed parts are made from Stainless Steel AISI 304 material.

The best feature of the Alphie mixer is that – the mixing drum is removable. So, the powder does not go to the mixer. But the powder filled and sealed container goes to the mixer. And hence, there is no chance of powder being exposed to the atmosphere while using the mixer.


Another advantage is, the mixing container material can be supplied to suit your application – Stainless steel / Plastic / Glass / Gun Metal / Aluminium etc.

Ability to fit any smaller shape / size / material of container:


All the mixers are designed in such a way, that smaller size / shape of container can be accommodated. Even, one can fit more than one containers also in the space.

Suitable container holders can be supplied along with the mixer, so the drum is held firmly in the mixer and does not shift / move.

Mixing drums can be inserted in the mixer either manually or using Electric hoist or Hydraulic Lifter. Other loading options available as per application

All mixers are built with a safety rail guard to protect human from moving parts. The mixer shall stop, if the guard is opened and mixer can not start unless the guard is closed.


Various guard designs are offered like – fully covered plexi glass construction, guard on wheels etc as per customer requirements.

After cycle completion, mixer stops at predefined position on its own for easy drum loading and unloading.

Alphie mixers are built with HMI / PLC panel and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) as standard supply. User can set the Container Speed, Mixing time and Mixing direction.


Mixer panel is programmed with the ability to set mixing in forward direction for some part of mixing cycle and in reverse direction in other part of cycle time. This is especially beneficial for mixing diverse density material.


Mixer has Recipe mode, where speed and time can be set with password protection.


Our control panels are built accordance to CE certification.

Choose from varieties of mixing containers from stainless steel, Aluminum, Plastic, Glass, Gun Metal etc.


Stainless steel containers are offered in AISI 304 as well as AISI 316L material with silicone gasket.


We offer holders where multiple containers can be fitted.

As an optional feature, Alphie 10 can be constructed to have provision to inject liquid in the mixing chamber while mixer is running. A pre defined quantity of liquid at required interval can be inserted in mixing container without stopping the mixer.

Option of mixing in controlled atmosphere using glove box / isolator (+ve or -ve pressure) mixer stand


Alphie mixers can be designed and manufactured so the mixing drum can remain in the Glove box / Isolator and drive part remain outside.
