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
