Auxiliary equipment

The equipment around the main machines has as much say in line efficiency as the machines themselves. A worn blade stretches batch times, weak dust collection dirties the production area and damp raw material causes flow problems. This category gathers the equipment that rounds off a mixing, dosing and feeding line.

Products in this category

• Mixer blades: mixing blades and spare parts for heater and cooler mixers.
• Jet filters and auxiliary equipment: jet filters, air filters, vacuum systems, powder and granule sieves, air sets, blowers and dehumidifiers.
• Bag filling machines: 5–50 kg bag filling for powder, small-particle and mixed products, in linear and rotary designs.

Pinning down what you need

For spare parts, the mixer model and the dimensions of the existing part are what count. For auxiliary equipment, look at where dust is released, how far material travels and how sensitive the raw material is to moisture. For bag filling, product type, bag weight and daily bag count decide the number of nozzles and the machine design. If you are building a new line, planning this equipment alongside the main system gives a cleaner layout than adding it later. For an existing plant, describing the problem point is often enough to identify the right equipment.
