J-TEC MATERIAL HANDLING designs, installs and maintains systems for the handling of dry materials and liquids. Storage of raw materials, conveying, dosing and weighing, dedusting, screening, charging and discharging, automation…are all part of your production process. The mixing process in particular can be part of this production process. In some cases, this might even be the object, the heart of the installation.
In only a few quite exceptional cases, the end product is not a composition of various raw materials. As a result, mixing equipment is not included in these installations. But as stated before these cases tend to be rare.
Mixing processes are part of the majority of industrial installations. This goes for the food, pharmaceutical, chemical and plastics industry. Standards pertaining to safety, hygiene, accuracy and so on, vary from industry to industry. J-Tec takes into account all this varying standards during the development of the mixing device.
Within the science of mixing, three different forms can be distinguished: the mixing of two or more liquids, the mixing of two or more dry materials and the mixing of liquids and dry materials.
Depending on the situational factors, one can opt for either a continuous mixing process or batch mixing. However, the object of the two processes is the same: to bring together various ingredients, being dry materials or liquids, in order to create a qualitatively good end product. This end product is either immediately consumable, or it will be further processed. The choice of what mixer to use depends on several other elements For instance to prevent contamination. Certain types of mixers can be cleaned more easily (for instance the slow mixer will be emptied completely). Especially in the food industry, where product switches often take place within a mixer, the easy cleaning of the mixer is a decisive element.
Mixing devicesSince 1970, J-Tec designs, builds and maintains J-Tec installations in which all kinds of mixing devices are build in. A complete enumeration of the existing mixing devices would lead us to far. However, J-Tec engineers are at your entire disposal to help you choose the right mixing process and the right mixing device.

Description
The dissolving of solids into liquids is one
of the most critical process steps. Often
problems arise because companies have
to work with two different suppliers, who
each have their own specialty, either sol-
ids or liquids.
For that reason there was a strong market
demand for suppliers who could deliver
the entire package: solids handling,
the mixing and dissolving of solids into
liquids, and the liquids handling. This way
the critical separation of responsibilities
between solids and liquids suppliers is
lifted.
Because of J-Tec’s extensive knowledge
in the fields of solids and liquids
handling and control systems we were
able to develop an advanced system
for the inline dissolving of a high
concentration of powders into liquids.
Main Principle
By means of an intensive mixing sys-
tem, an accurately controlled flow of
powder is dissolved continuously into
an accurately controlled flow of liq-
uid. The concentration of powders in
the liquid is controllable and adjust-
able, through a combination of a
loss-in-weight feeder and an inline
mixer.
With this set-up the powders are
dosed directly into the liquids flow,
and dissolved into the liquid.
Advantages
• As opposed to conventional sys-
tems, there are no buffer tanks
and intermediate transport neces-
sary, resulting in fewer costs and a
reduction in space required for the
installation.
• It offers great flexibility, while still
allowing a reproducible process.
• Less air incorporation
• This combination makes it possible
to change the ingredients and the
concentration of the mix very easily.
• High accuracy and range of
dosing (0,5%)
• The solid/liquid ratio can be
changed throughout the entire pro-
cess.
• Powder ratio up to 80 %
• The entire process is easy to clean
because it can be cleaned inline:
more quickly and more efficiently.
• Limited number of components that
need cleaning
• It can be used for solids stored in
all kinds of storage systems: Bags,
Big Bags, silos, ...

J-Tec’s test facilities
In our test facilities, we can simulate
batch mixing as well as inline
mixing processes. A combination of
batch and inline mixing is also pos-
sible.
Industries
This type of mixing can be imple-
mented in several types of industries:
• Chemical industry
• Food industry
• Pharmaceutical industry
Options• The set-up that you require can be
tested in J-tec’s test facilities, where
we can simulate the conditions that
you need.
• Heating and cooling are possible.
• Dosing of additional liquids (other
than the main liquid) is also possible.
Product examples
The inline mixing system can be used
for several types of products. A few
examples:
• Soda
• Carbon black
• Al2O3
• Thickeners
• Silica
• Milk powder
• ...

Because of J-Tec’s extensive experience
and knowledge in the field of solids and
liquids handling, the Sanimix has some
advantages over others:
• Pneumatic conveying of powders
• Extensive mixing capacities
• Possibility of CIP cleaning
• Products have a longer shelf life
thanks to reduced oxidation

Vacuum mixer with CIP-cleanable powder
installation.
J-Tec’s vacuum mixer is a batch mixer
that pulls in powders into the mixing
tank below liquids level, by means of a
vacuum conveying system. Thanks to
J-Tec’s thorough knowledge in the field
of pneumatic conveying, very long
conveying distances can be achieved.
Because the powder enters the mixing
tank below liquids level, foam creation
and product deposits on the wall are
reduced to a minimum.
The mixing process is accelerated
because the powder immediately col-
lides with a high shear mixing element.
This way a high powder/liquid ratio can
be reached within a small period of
time.
The mixing tank has a double walled
design, enabling heating and cooling of
the mixtures.
Main principle
MixingSanimix vacuum mixer
Pneumatic conveying
With pneumatic conveying it is possible
to cover long distances between the
mixer and the powder pick-up points.
This gives you the considerable advan-
tage that you can implement your
mixer virtually anywhere in your (exist-
ing) plant.
Thanks to this innovation it is no longer
necessary to deal with the limitations
in distance between the mixer and the
powder installations, giving you much
more freedom in the lay-out of your
plant.
Size
The content of the Sanidis can go from
500 litres up to 20.000 litres.
