Dinnissen brings Pegasus Mixer and Pegasus Vacuum Coater to Asia
Press Release
Netherlands-based Dinnissen Process Technology is introducing its Pegasus？？ Mixer, a single mixer widely used to replace traditional mixers in the Europe for the animal feed, pet food and aquafeed industry, to the Asian market.
The Pegasus？？ Mixer has been specially developed and modernised to produce a wide range of animal feed, pet food and aquafeed quickly, homogenously and energy efficiently.
The new mixer consists of a unique twin-shaft mixing mechanism which uses the flow of air to swirl around powders, pellets and granules in order to mix them quickly (in 25-30 seconds) and extremely homogenously with low energy use.
Thanks to the special dosing unit, the right amount of fluid is sprayed into the mixer during this mixing process so as to create the right ingredients for the feed.
When powders, pellets or granules are thrown up by the airflow, up to 18 functional fluids such as proteins, vitamins, minerals, fats and oils are sprayed onto the ingredient particles and mixed. Each product particle is completely coated.
The quantities involved can range from very small- 0.01-2% per batch weight - right the way up to extra high percentages of 30-220% per batch weight.
The optional automatic operation of the Pegasus？？ allows a wide range of recipes to be automatically processedThe mixer is fast and easy to clean, making switching to a new feed recipe quick and hygienic.
At the same time, Dinnissen is also launching its modernised Pegasus？？ Mixer with vacuum function onto the Asian market.
In the Pegasus？？ Vacuum Coater, each pellet can be sprayed with the exact quantity of powder or fluid, which is then absorbed deep into the pellet.
This phase in the production process is specially designed to homogeneously add large to extremely small quantities of powder or fluid, depending on needs. The coater offers that possibility by quickly and flexibly applying multiple layers in pelleted and extruded products in a vacuum environment.
Additionally, it enables a robust protective coating to be applied around each pellet to prevent breaking, crumbling and loss of valuable ingredients, saving the costs of cleaning transport systems.
For cases in which any risk of contamination with salmonella or harmful micro-organisms must be avoided, a range of hygienic custom options for the Pegasus？？ Vacuum Coater, such as hot air treatment and CIP cleaning, are also available.
