Production activities

Our blending facility (site 1) is fully equipped to handle powders in a controlled way. From sampling to blending, everything is performed under controlled atmosphere. Temperature, humidity and relative pressure are regulated. Dust aspiration units are available everywhere.

The different blending units allow us to provide a solution for the most complex powder blends.

Nauta

The NAUTA blending unit of 1500 l is a conical  screw blender and is extremely reliable for powder blending and especially for adding liquid substances to the blend. Cleaning is facilitated by easy access doors.

Gladiator

The GLADIATOR blending unit (1200 l) is a powerful  ribbon blender. The blending process is very fast, and larger conglomerates of product are easily broken.

Planetary

The PLANETARY  blender (90 l) is perfect to run smaller quantities or to make premixes for ingredients with low dosage.

Several blending units for liquids are also available.
