Hydratec - Blenders, Mixers, Vacuum Conveyors and Kettles

Hydratec specialises in the manufacturing of sanitary stainless-steel engineered process equipment for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industry. Hydratec's range includes ribbon blenders, twin shell, double cone, high shear mixers and customised mixers (planetary triple shaft, kettles bin, pressure and atmospheric vessels, and pneumatic conveying systems)

Double cone powder blenders incorporate a gentle and low energy consumption, ideal for blending fragile solids-solids and abrasive materials. Features include:

• Liquid-solids blending with intensifier bar for granulation
• Jacketed and vacuum for drying
• Capacities from 4L to 150ft³

The benefits are that they eliminate dead blending areas; are easy to clean; and are much faster, as less work is done on the particles, therefore eliminating their deterioration. The total discharge of the product is 56+64.

TWIN-SHELL BLENDERS

Twin-shell blenders are designed for blending free-flowing solids-solids and liquid-solids with intensifier bars for granulation. Jacketed and vacuum for drying of heat sensitive products with capacities from 4L to 150ft, our twin-shell blenders have an integrated dust-free vacuum conveyor to load materials.

RIBBON BLENDERS

Ribbon blenders have a capacity from 0.5ft³ to 515ft³. Double spiral ribbons produce a uniform mixture, and a stuffing box can be provided. This sanitary construction permits disassembly from the exterior. Optional features include:

• Vacuum
• Jacket for heating or cooling
• Spray pipe or nozzles for liquid addition

HIGH SHEAR MIXERS

Particle size reduction (high shear) vertical and inline mixers are used in tanks to get a homogeneous particle size for creams, dyestuffs, flavour emulsions, shampoos and pharmaceutical emulsions laboratory units of production sizes 1hp to 100hp.

Atmospheric, pressure vessels and reactors are manufactured under the same code and mirror finished if required, as is sanitary piping, controls and instrumentation.

SANITARY DUST-FREE VACUUM CONVEYORS

Sanitary dust-free vacuum conveyors for process system automation directly convey material from one process system to another. The vacuum transfer system improves sanitation since all air flow is into the system. Typical applications include:

• Loading of mixing tanks
• Direct charging of blenders
• Conveying through mills
• Loading of filling machines

CUSTOMISED KETTLES

We also produce a range of customisable kettles, which feature:

• Inner counter rotating agitator vacuum
• CIP outer anchor agitator
• High-speed homogeniser
• Heating and cooling system capacities from 4L to 4,000L
