Turbo Compact Mixing TCM

Compact inline mixing for late product differentiation

Cleaning of powder mixing installations may become a time consuming and therefore costly exercise if, for example, flavours, aromas, cocoa or bacteria are contained in the recipe. The Turbo Compact Mixing module, TCM, has been developed as a compact inline mixing module to be installed directly upstream of filling, packaging or processing equipment. It minimises equipment surfaces and thus saves time for cleaning and massively increases productivity.
