Dinnissen Process Technology delivers 500th double-shaft Pegasus Mixer to Cehave van den Berge

 

Press release
 

 

Dinnissen Process Technology recently celebrated the delivery of its 500th double-shaft Pegasus Mixer to Cehave van den Berge in Grobbendonk, Belgium.

 

Cehave will use the new mixer to significantly speed up mixing times for formulating a wide range of compound feeds from a wide variety of ingredients. The company aims to use the Pegasus Mixer to increase the flexibility of its production processes to respond more quickly and effectively to customers' requirements.

                                 

In recent years, double-shaft Pegasus Mixers have been made for companies in a wide range of industries, including feed, food, pharmaceuticals and chemicals, with the mixers continually being modified to meet the specific demands of each situation.

 

For example, Dinnissen has developed and built mixers for the special purpose of mixing ingredients very carefully, thereby preventing damage. Dinnissen has also built mixers that reduce the particle size of difficult products during the mixing process.

 

The newest generation of Pegasus Mixers will be fitted with functionalities intended to prevent the slightest degree of contamination due to product changes. Models are also expected which, within a single batch, are able to add 10 to 15 different liquids in the form of a spray and mix them homogeneously.

 

Meanwhile, Dinnissen sees excellent opportunities to greatly reduce energy consumption involved in mixing. The company's special Energy Control Program makes it possible to reduce energy consumption by 60 percent compared with traditional ribbon mixers.

 

Finally, mixers that help realise capacity increases of 20 or 30 percent compared with traditional ribbon mixtures, will be an important development for the future, according to Dinnissen.
