DKT 2018: Mixing Room Solutions

Rather than the delivery of individual machinery for mixing applications, the market requires a concept for entire system solutions which not only include machines and modules, but also automation and all the auxiliary products. In addition to state-of-the-art mixers and up- and downstream equipment, the group provides with its Advise system a modular, scalable system for automating mixing rooms and intelligent process technology. All areas of the mixing room are included, starting with the inventory management of raw materials in the warehouse, going to the manual weighing of small chemicals, the fully automated weighing of bulk material, the control of the mixing process, downstream equipment such as open mills and single- or twin-screw discharge extruder, and all the way to the compound storage room. Depending on requirements, individual applications can be selected and combined to create a comprehensive automation solution. The Group also developed intelligent controllers for energy optimisation in the mixing room such as the intelligent dust seal controller IXSeal, the temperature controller ITC and the IRam, a special controller for ram control. Furthermore HF added to its portfolio the universal mixer, now marketed as Umix, based on the original Werner & Pfleiderer design.
