The continuous in-line blending procedure is mainly used to blend the finished products or to blend product differentiators (perfume, colours, etc) to a base product stream.
With the GEA system, liquid components are mixed in the pipeline in a constant ratio using digitally working controllers keep the mixing ratio constant even in case of a deviating flow rate or in-feed pressure.
The construction of the continuous in-line blending system with its short pipelines guarantees that product losses are reduced to a minimum. Mixers (static or dynamic) are integrated into the system for a homogenous blending of products with different or high viscosities.
The GEA system has many special features:
- Mixing in the pipeline (low space required)
- High mixing accuracy by using precise flow meters and digitally working controllers
- Low product quantities remaining in the system
- Large range of capacities and turn down ratios (1:10)
