🛠️ Core Technology & Performance

The SBG Ring Layer Mixer is engineered for ultra-efficient continuous mixing, granulating, and coating—offering high throughput from a compact footprint. Its defining feature is the creation of a concentric ring layer of product inside the cylindrical mixing chamber, driven by centrifugal force at extremely high peripheral speeds (up to 50 m/s).

🔄 Plug Flow Mixing with Precise Control

  • Plug flow behavior ensures minimal back-mixing and a narrow residence time distribution, key for continuous granulation and uniform product quality.

  • The mixing chamber is zoned with various mixing tools, allowing tailored shear and dispersion levels across the process stages.


⚙️ Functional Highlights

🔹 Agglomeration & Granulation

  • Moistening of powders leads to controlled granulation via bridging effects.

  • Granule size typically ranges from 100 μm to 1.5 mm, adjustable through:

    • Liquid quantity

    • Tool design

    • Shaft speed and geometry

  • Produces free-flowing granules with higher bulk density upon drying.

🔹 High-Speed Dispersing & Decomposition

  • Ideal for fiber decomposition (e.g., pulp slurry for staple fiber production).

  • Micro-granulation of poorly flowing powders (e.g., detergent base powders).

  • Handles viscous pastes, wet mass, and suspensions with short residence time.

🔹 Coating

  • Effective for molten fat or oil-based coatings.

  • Liquids added via hollow shaft or tangential injectors avoid nozzle clogging.

  • Coating occurs in-situ; cooling or crystallization handled downstream.

🔹 Liquid Injection System

  • Non-clogging liquid addition directly into the ring layer.

  • Via:

    • Hollow agitator shaft with perforated tools

    • Tangential injectors in the drum wall

  • Delivers fine, even moistening or binding without wetting shaft/drum.
