Mixing Infant Formula in Asia

Lindor has recently delivered a mixer for a new production line of infant formula powders in Asia. Mixing high-quality infant formula powder is a delicate process.

The manufacturer has based the selection of the Lindor L1000 mixer on the excellent mixing quality and the production capacity (batch size 400-500 kg, 5–7 batches/hour). The quality of the powder after mixing, the integrity of the spray dried particles, and the homogeneity of the blend determines the quality of the end product. Even with minor ingredient levels (< 1%) the homogeneity of the product is ensured. The retractable inlet and outlet, together with three large doors, provides ample access to the mixing drum, the inlet and outlet, and the manually replaceable seals for optimal dry cleaning.

The manufacturer has also purchased a Lindor L10 lab mixer for developing recipes and defining process parameters. This mixer has a maximum batch volume of 10 l, which is about 5–6 kg. Due to the transparent mixing drum, the actual mixing process can be observed.

The mixer can be easily disassembled by hand, and the three components can be cleaned/washed by hand or even be washed in a regular dishwasher.
