M15 Hybrid Powder Mixer

M15 Hybrid Powder Mixer Overview

The Alfa Laval Hybrid Powder Mixer M15 is a mobile dual-stage inline powder dissolution unit that disperses and mixes powders into liquids to create homogeneous blends quickly and efficiently. Using a single motor, it then transfers the resulting solution at outlet pressures of up to 5 bar. Versatile, cost-effective and easy to use, this mobile mixer produces products at high dry matter concentrations and generates high yields, while managing large particles with ease. 

The Hybrid Powder Mixer M15 is an excellent choice for blending thickeners, stabilisers and emulsifiers into concentrations required in most hygienic applications in the dairy, beverage and food industries. It is also capable of producing recombined milk with more than 50% dry matter.

Alfa Laval M15 Hybrid Powder Mixer Benefits

The Alfa Laval Hybrid Powder Mixer M15 is comprised mainly of a two-stage pump with a rotor-stator as the first stage and a pump as the second stage. It is also equipped with a funnel and an injector. The funnel is used to introduce powder through an injector system, which can be isolated using a hygienic C-ball valve. The injector pre-blends the powder and the liquid, while at the same time drawing additional powder in through the funnel.

M15 Hybrid Industrial Powder Mixer Working Principle

The two-stage inline Alfa Laval Hybrid Powder Mixer M15 is typically integrated into a circulation loop connected to a batch tank. After liquid ingredients are added to the tank, the Hybrid Powder Mixer circulates these contents through the loop and back into the vessel. To provide additional high-efficiency mixing in tanks with volumes larger than 1 – 2 m3, it is highly recommended to install an Alfa Laval Rotary Jet Mixer.

M15 Hybrid Powder Mixer FAQs

The Alfa Laval Hybrid Powder Mixer M15 is a hygienic, dual-stage inline mixer designed to efficiently disperse and dissolve powders into liquids. It combines a rotor-stator and a pump stage, driven by a single motor, to produce homogeneous products with high dry matter concentrations.

The M15 is ideal for industries requiring hygienic processing, such as food, dairy, beverage, and pharmaceuticals. It’s particularly effective for applications like incorporating thickeners, stabilisers, and emulsifiers, as well as producing recombined milk with high dry matter content.

The M15 utilises a two-stage pump system: the first stage features a rotor-stator that provides high shear for effective powder dispersion, while the second stage functions as a pump to convey the homogeneous mixture. This design ensures complete dissolution of powders into liquids.

Yes, the M15 is designed with hygiene in mind, featuring a construction that facilitates easy cleaning and maintenance, complying with industry standards for sanitary processing equipment.

The M15 Hybrid Powder Mixer features a two-stage pumping system, combining a rotor-stator stage for high shear mixing and a pump stage for effective fluid movement. It is powered by a single motor, controlled by a frequency converter for precise operation. The mixer includes a funnel for powder introduction, which is fed through an injector system and can be isolated with a hygienic C-Ball valve for easy maintenance. The entire unit is mounted on a durable stainless steel frame, and the liquid inlet is equipped with a sight glass and a butterfly valve for efficient flow control and monitoring.
