The thousandth mixer – Krones Contiflow
After ten years the Contiflow series of mixers has received the thousandth order.
The continuously operating Contiflow mixer is a harmonised blending system for the soft-drinks sector. It is used for continuous production of highly disparate beverages. New output ranges, a higher maximum output, stepless output regulation, maintenance-friendlier design thanks to an easy-access pump configuration and the use of flanged connections, a revised deaeration philosophy are said to be the main features of the Krones Contiflow mixer.
It is available in five different sizes, delivering up to 90m3 per hour. Each Contiflow can be steplessly adjusted from 33 to 100% of rated output, these limits is matched automatically to the speed of the filler. It is available in three different deaeration processes: 1-stage vacuum deaeration, 2-stage vacuum deaeration, and 2-stage pressure deaeration. The Contiflow consists of the deaeration, dosing and carbonating modules, thus uniting three processes in a single machine. Thanks to its modularised construction, the product family includes a two-component system, a multi-component system with up to eight dosed-in individual components, a carbonating system as a stand-alone machine directly upstream of the filler, and a dedicated water deaeration system.
