MIXING SYSTEMS - POWDER MIXING AND PROCESSING PLANTS
John R. Boone have a long standing reputation for providing efficient, cost effective mixing systems and process plant to specification and on time.
One example is a recently completed Powders Granulation Detergent
Plant in South East Asia.
The plant was taken from initial concept to “Hand Over”, ready
for production within a 6 month programme.
The plant produces a range of detergents specifically designed to suit the
local conditions.
Drawing on many years of experience producing bulk storage, powder dosing, minor ingredient handling and Mixing systems J R Boone were able to provide a low Capital Cost plant which was simple to operate and quick to install.
J R Boone produced a design to maintain the low cost yet give flexibility for current production requirements and future development.
The final design provides for the powdered raw materials to be supplied in 25Kg and 50Kg sacks, using a Vacuum powered Sack Lifter into two manual Sack Tip Units. These in turn feed a Chain and Disc elevator to transfer the powders from ground level to a loadcell mounted Check Weigh Bin, situated directly above the mixer.
The primary process is carried out in a high shear Plough type
Mixer into which the powders and necessary liquid ingredients are metered
and / or pneumatically fed. On discharge from the Plough mixer, the product
is transferred via an Airlift, to elevate, prior to sieving and then onto
post dosing.
Any lumps are separated on the vibratory sieve then size reduced through a
Mill and returned to the Plough type Mixer by a transfer conveyor for re processing.
Accurate Post dosing of Perfume and delicate Minor ingredient’s
is achieved in a Rotary Drum Blender. The transfer from Rotary Drum Blender
to finished product fill point being via an Inclined Troughed Belt Conveyor.
Flexible finished Product storage capacity is provided using wheeled tote
bins. These are then queued to await elevation on to the Mezzanine Floor,
prior to final packaging into cartons or form fill and seal bags.
Some Other overseas Projects recently undertaken include:
