          MACHINE TYPE
          The high-shear mixer is a system for mixing, granulation and sieving of pharmaceutical powders and granulated products. Moreover, it is suitable for a wide range of cosmetics and food products. A three-bladed mixing tool rotates in a vertical, cylindrical mixing vessel close to the wall and to the bottom of the vessel. The shape and peripheral speed of the mixing tool create a vortex-like circulation of the mix. This product movement ensures very short mixing times in conjunction with excellent mixing quality and permits build-up of granulated products. A separately driven chopper is used for breaking up any agglomerated products as well as for moistening and granulation. Liquid addition is either gravimetric or uses a pump to add liquid directly to the effective range of the chopper, so that the best possible distribution is ensured. The optional wet sieve on the discharge ensures a completely homogeneous distribution of the granulate size.

                      MACHINE TYPE
                      The high-shear mixer is a system for mixing, granulation and sieving of pharmaceutical powders and granulated products. Moreover, it is suitable for a wide range of cosmetics and food products. A three-bladed mixing tool rotates in a vertical, cylindrical mixing vessel close to the wall and to the bottom of the vessel. The shape and peripheral speed of the mixing tool create a vortex-like circulation of the mix. This product movement ensures very short mixing times in conjunction with excellent mixing quality and permits build-up of granulated products. A separately driven chopper is used for breaking up any agglomerated products as well as for moistening and granulation. Liquid addition is either gravimetric or uses a pump to add liquid directly to the effective range of the chopper, so that the best possible distribution is ensured. The optional wet sieve on the discharge ensures a completely homogeneous distribution of the granulate size.

                        Process-specific solutions for mixing, homogenization, compounding, granulation, encasing/coating, agglomeration, compacting, heating and cooling are used for the respective applications of the plastics industry.

                        Today’s plastics industry demands not just solutions for treatment of plastic melts, which are primarily characterised by high throughput volumes, but increasingly also requires specific applications for speciality products as well as treatment processes using highly sophisticated process systems.

                      • PROCESS ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS

                        The process engineering tasks in the chemical industry are highly diverse. Lödige solutions are used for the following main processes:

                        MECHANICAL PROCESSING OF PRODUCTS
                        MECHANICAL AND THERMAL TREATMENT OF PRODUCTS

                        It is possible to complete multiple process steps in one single Lödige machine. This is called the “all-in-one process”. In many cases, the Lödige machine is used within a production line, where it can perform several different process steps and complete different recipes in a reproducible manner due to the adapted control system.

                        Our customers contact us with an application and we verify its feasibility, develop and fine-tune it at our in-house test centre through realistic production trials. After completing and evaluating these trials, we can design a suitable, optimised machine and advise our customer with regard to purposeful process control.
