INDAG Maschinenbau GmbH products

INDAG dynamic inline mixer type DLM/M is used for gentle mixing of shear sensitive products. Examples for applications are: to mix fruit concentrate into yoghurt or quark and chocolate into ice cream. A mousse au chocolat is produced by gently fold chocolate into egg white foam. Sensitive foam will not be destroyed. Other examples are to mix caustic lye into vegetable oil for neutralization or to mix aroma into a fat mass.

INDAG intensive inline mixer type DLM/P is used to homogeneously mixing shear sensitive liquids. For example aroma, color or emulsifier is mixed into fat mass or chocolate. Even if concentration of additive (i.e. 0,01%) is very small, mixing result will be absolutely homogeneous. Introduced mixing energy will not increase temperature of product more than 1°C. Especially shear sensitive products like aerated foams will not be destroyed by INDAG intensive inline mixer DLM/P.

INDAG intensive inline mixer type DLM/S is used for effective mixing, emulsifying, dispersing and aerating of fluids, solids and gases. Examples of applications are: mixing of egg yolk, oil and vinegar solution to create a premixture for mayonnaise production. Another example is aeration of marshmallows. In this case egg white, a sugar syrup and air is mixed to achieve a fine-pore foam. DLM/S mixers homogenously mix caramel sugar syrup of glucose-fructose syrup with very small quantities of aroma and color. Process cheese is produced with DLM/S mixers by boiling up cheese with high pressure steam.

INDAG homogenizer type DLM/H is used for effective emulsifying, dispersing, shearing and mixing of fluids and solids. Applications are: for production of cosmetics oil, water and emulsifier are combined to stable emulsion. DLM/H produces mayonnaise from oil, vinegar solution and egg. Droplet sizes of smaller 1 µm are achieved by rotor tip speeds of >20 m/s and smallest clearance. Another application is mixing of phosphoric acid or citric acid into vegetable oil for degumming. With DLM/H homogenizer solids in liquids like onion pieces or corn pieces are sheared to very small pieces.

INDAG dynamic inline mixer type DLM/M is used to mix homogeneously a diversity of liquids. Even shear sensitive liquids or liquids with high solid content can be mixed. Only DLM/M rotor is equipped with mixing elements. Stator is without mixing elements. Therefore even fibrous particles will not lead to blockage of mixer. A small selection of examples for applications are: Mixing of sewage sludge + polymer solution; mixing of paper sludge + polymer solution; mixing of sewage sludge + high pressure steam; mixing of caustic lye + water; mixing of lubricant + additive; mixing wax + additive; mixing of aerated foams + additive without reducing quality of foam.

INDAG intensive inline mixer type DLM/P is used to mix homogeneously mixer shear sensitive liquids with additives. Even if concentration of additive (i.e. 0,01%) is very small, mixing result will be absolutely homogeneous. Introduced mixing energy will not increase temperature of product more than 1°C. Especially shear sensitive products like aerated foams will not be destroyed by INDAG intensive inline mixer DLM/P. A small selection of examples for applications are: mixing of reactive additives into adhesive; mixing of pre emulsions with solvents; mixing of polybutadiene with water; mixing of collagen with colour; …

INDAG intensive inline mixer type DLM/S is used for effective mixing, emulsifying, dispersing and aerating of fluids, solids and gases. Shear rate of DLM/S is of medium level compared to DLM/H homogenizer. A small selection of examples for applications are: continuous production of emulsion of oil + water + emulsifier; dispersion of oil + acid; emulsion of silicon-oil + water + emulsifier; dispersion of polymer + high pressure steam; foam of latex + vulcanizer + gelling agent; mixture of bitumen + polymer modified bitumen + acid + adhesive; mixture of plastic melts (PET, PA, PE, PMMA) + additives; mixture of vegetable oil + methanol + methylate.

INDAG homogenizer type DLM/H is used for effective mixing, emulsifying, dispersing and aerating of fluids, solids. Shear rate of DLM/H is very high. A small selection of examples for applications are: continuous production of stable emulsion of oil + water + emulsifier; dilution of Natriumlaurylethersulfat (SELS) + water. DLM/H homogenizers are used in production of colour, varnish, detergent, adhesive. INDAG DLM/H homogenizer for continuous process reduces process time and increases product quality compared to a batch mixing system.

INDAG dynamic inline mixers are used in polymerisation and extrusion/compounding applications. Requirements on mixing technology for mixing of additives or master batches into high viscous polymer (hot melt of plastic) are: pressures up to 160 bar (2500 psig), viscosities up to 10,000 Pas and temperatures of up to 330°C (626°F). Examples of products to mix: Polyethylen PE, Polyamide PA, Polyethylelene terephtalate PET, TPU Thermoplastic Polyure-tane, PS-Polystyrene, Polybutylene teraphtalate PBT or Poly-carbonate PC. The High pressure mixer type DLM/S HP adapts to a wide range of capacities (kg/h) and to a wide range of additive concentrations just by changing the mixer rotational speed.
