Contisolv®-C cold dissolving unit
If powders or granulates need to be completely dissolved in liquids using a cold dissolving process, mixing and dissolving technology play an important role. Contisolv®-C works using a combination of Coaxial Injector® and Radial Jet Mixer® and dissolves continuously at temperatures close to saturation. Contisolv®-C can manufacture sugar solutions of 60 oBrix at just 20oC. Compared to other ‘cold’ dissolving processes, the working temperature is significantly lower which means reduced energy and investment costs.
- Radial Jet Mixer, an exclusive technology from Miteco The core focal points of Miteco plant technology are blending, dissolving and concentrating. One of our key technologies for these processes is the Radial Jet Mixer, which differs fundamentally from other processes to blend liquid and solid starter materials. The Radial Jet Mixer has a very simple and exceptionally reliable design which ensures increased homogeneity of the mix compared to other techniques. It is a quick technique, has shorter mixing times and places low mechanical stress on the mix.
- Coaxial Injector, an exclusive technology from Miteco To introduce hard-to-wet powders into liquids is technically very demanding. This is exactly where the strengths of the Miteco Coaxial Injector lie. Even with tricky combinations of materials, the injector can eliminate unwanted agglomeration that can be difficult to remove. Wetting with the Coaxial Injector is an ideal pre-mixing process for the Radial Jet Mixer.
