VORTEX CHAMBER®

Efficiency of homogenization and reaction processes

VORTEX CHAMBER®

Process acceleration through high shear force introduction

The VORTEX CHAMBER® installed at the bottom of the mixing container significantly increases the efficiency of homogenization and reaction processes without protruding into the container. This means that the entire container surface is covered by the main mixing mechanism, and dead spaces are avoided due to the design – for resource-saving processes and better material utilization.

Typical Applications

  • Wetting powders with liquids without clumping
  • Dust-free and homogeneous powder distribution in viscous media
  • Surface enlargement of the product during drying and reaction processes
  • Melting and pasting organic products (e.g., conching chocolate)
  • Grinding and homogenizing lumpy products (e.g., chocolate rework with nuts, wafers, and cookies)

Features

High shearing forces in a very small space: The rotor sucks the product into the center and, after passing through the shearing zone with high turbulence, throws it back into the product chamber.

Advantages at a glance:

  • Continuous product feed through the main mixing unit with constant forced flow through the shearing zone
  • Short but intense action that prevents local overheating
  • A high degree of self-cleaning for virtually residue-free emptying
  • The system can be retrofitted and is compatible with many existing mixing systems.
  • The system is energy-efficient and offers high performance at reduced speed and lower wear compared to other models.

Design Features

Compact integration: The VORTEX CHAMBER® operates according to the rotor/stator principle and remains outside the periphery of the mixing vessel, ensuring dead space-free and hygienic use of space.

Advantages:

  • Dead space-free processing thanks to main mixing tools that cover the entire chamber surface
  • Energy-efficient direct drive that reduces mechanical effort
  • Precise shearing action due to minimal rotor-stator distance for resource-saving processes

Piston Valve

The VORTEX CHAMBER® is equipped with a shock valve that has been optimized using state-of-the-art 3D printing technology. This enables functional integration and the combination of different materials to form a high-performance unit. The shock valve has a heating/cooling jacket for precise temperature and pressure control.
The interior is designed for an operating pressure of up to 10 bar, while the outer jacket can withstand 6 bar and temperatures of up to 165°C (in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU).
Additive manufacturing enables the creation of complex, optimized flow channels.

The VORTEX CHAMBER® impresses with its extended service life, increased performance, and maximum energy efficiency, even under extreme conditions.
