Continuous Mixer for Chocolate Production

Solids handling equipment maker, Ajax Equipment, has supplied a leading manufacturing and services provider with a continuous mixer featuring Lynflow clog-resistant blades for mixing chocolate with inclusions. 

The single-screw paddle mixer will combine warm chocolate with free-flowing candy pieces. To ensure the liquid chocolate maintains the required temperature the mixer features a heated jacket and screw shaft. The contact parts of the mixer are constructed from 316L stainless steel with polished crack- and crevice-free welds for a hygienic finish.   

“Ajax’s Lynflow flights offer an effective means of mixing, while avoiding particle attrition and damage to sensitive products -- often part of food production -- are minimized. Ajax continuous mixers are ideal for homogenizing chocolate and other pastes, as well as incorporating inclusions including cereals, crispies, nuts, and fruits,” said Eddie McGee, managing director, Ajax Equipment.

Ajax also produce twin screw mixers for combining chocolate with other liquors and pastes, etc.
