More than just a mixer – the KS Mixing Centre 600 V

KARL SCHNELL GmbH & Co. KG

Description

High-end solution for modern production processes

The KS Mixing Centre 600 V from KARL SCHNELL is far more than just a conventional mixer – it is an innovative process centre for the flexible, efficient, and high-quality processing of a wide variety of food products. Developed for the demanding requirements of the food industry, this system combines the advantages of a low-shear mixer with an integrated high-shear emulsifier, fed by a pump directly below the mixing vessel. This opens up completely new process possibilities – from gentle premixing to precise emulsification under high vacuum.

Innovative functionality meets maximum flexibility

The KS Mixing Centre 600 V is specially designed for the processing of highly viscous and shear-sensitive products under vacuum. The combination of low-shear mixing and high-shear emulsifying enables products to be processed particularly homogeneously, gently, and efficiently. Dry substances can be effectively dispersed in liquids – without clumping and with high uniformity.

Flexibly selectable process paths:

  • Conventional further processing: The mixture is transferred to a connected buffer tank and continuously fed to the downstream production unit.
  • Direct emulsification: The integrated product pump conveys the premix directly under vacuum to the emulsifier, which processes the product into a homogeneous emulsion using the high-shear process.
  • Recirculation and combination: After emulsification, the product can be pumped back into the mixing tank to be refined with coarse additives. The product is then discharged directly via a bypass.

This system architecture combines the advantages of a process automat with the strengths of a mixer, offering unprecedented process control. Thanks to the controlled pump feed to the emulsifier, precise temperature control is guaranteed – under vacuum conditions, which is crucial for product quality. This allows even sensitive formulations to be implemented reliably and reproducibly.

Benefits at a glance:

  • Combination of mixing and grinding technology in one system
  • Modular design for maximum adaptability to individual process requirements
  • High-vacuum process control that improves product quality and shelf life
  • Flexible further processing depending on requirements
  • Efficient emulsification and homogenisation, even for complex products
  • Precise control of temperature, mixing intensity and product flow

Complementary aspects of the KS mixer portfolio

The KS Mixing Centre is part of a comprehensive portfolio from KARL SCHNELL, which includes mixing systems in a wide range of sizes and configurations – from 30 to over 7,000 liters. Thanks to intelligent PLC control, separate motor control, vacuum intake for powder components, and precise temperature control, all production requirements can be reliably met. Its reproducibility and integration into continuous production lines make the system an ideal solution for the highest demands on quality and efficiency.

Conclusion

The KS Mixing Centre 600 V offers a unique combination of flexibility, process reliability, and efficiency. It is ideal for producers who demand the highest quality while simultaneously producing complex products economally – a true centre of innovative food processing.

KS Diaphragm Koex - The solution for filled products!

The KS Diaphragm Koex is a multifunctional portioning device in the food sector for processing all pasty and dimensionally stable products with internal filling.

Equipped with a modern drive concept based on a highly dynamic servo motor, a wide variety of food products can be portioned. And this in many sizes and individually configurable ratios of outer shell and filling.

The range of applications is enormous:

  • From mini meat or cheese balls to large potato dough and bread dumplings
  • Sweets in many shapes and types
  • Moreover long products such as filled croquettes or cevapcici, and many more…

The type of filling as well as its consistency can vary - from low viscous sauces to highly viscous emulsions with chunky fillings - everything is possible.

The integrated filling flow divider ensures exact weight accuracy per lane and product. This enables the best possible efficiency in the use of raw materials with consistently high product quality.

We offer two systems tailored to the customer's area of application:

  • Control piston system - for use in continuously operating, high-capacity production lines
  • Vane cell system - for flexibility in the downstream production process

Product injection - so-called coextrusion - thus allows a wide range of design possibilities, not only in terms of the specification and consistency of the two starting materials, but also their filling ratio to each other.

There are several options for dispensing the product:

  • Dispensing onto a belt conveyor, for example, for further processing in a breading line or laminating system or for transfer to subsequent conveyors
  • Direct dispensing into a water bath or oil bath system
  • Dispensing onto a rolling belt for defined ball shaping for a variety of dumpling products.

Centrally controlled via KS Vacuum Fillers of the P-Series, the filling machines, portioning device and output conveyor form a single unit. In addition, the electromotive height adjustment of the complete diaphragm module offers easy and convenient positioning via the downstream production line.

The central servo concept for all drives ensures precise conveying and portioning with gram accuracy. All functions can be visualized and easily operated on the clearly arranged, swiveling operator terminal.

The specification and size of the product to be manufactured can be modified with just a few quick-change parts. This guarantees easy cleanability and best hygiene.

The modular design and the flexible combination options of the individual modules ensure efficient, ergonomic work with optimum production capacity utilisation.
