Anyone working in the process industry recognises the challenge: powders need to be dissolved quickly, safely, and without lumps in a liquid. However, traditional dosing by pouring onto the liquid surface often leads to problems, such as dust formation, lumps, or product loss. There is, fortunately, a more efficient method. Discover why more companies are switching to inline powder induction.
What Is Inline Powder Induction?
Inline powder induction is a process technology where powders are directly drawn into the liquid stream within a closed system and homogeneously mixed. This is achieved with specialised equipment such as inline powder dissolvers. Unlike manual surface addition, powders are introduced directly at the point of rapid dispersion and mixing. This method avoids many of the well-known drawbacks of surface dosing—without the need for immediate intensive mixing or dispersing in an open tank.
Why Switch from Pouring to Powder Induction?
Pouring powder onto the liquid surface seems straightforward but quickly introduces several issues:
- Significant dust in the production environment
- Incomplete mixing, resulting in lumps remaining in the product
- Unnecessary product loss due to dusting and buildup above the liquid level
The Rmixx RMC Inline Powder Dissolver effectively addresses these concerns. Powder can be added in a controlled, dust-free, and lump-free manner. Mixing and dispersion occur immediately and efficiently, ensuring consistent product quality. The working environment also becomes safer and cleaner.
Key Advantages at a Glance
- High reproducibility, independent of operator skill
- Cleaner process with less dust formation
- Faster and more complete powder dissolution
- Save raw materials and process time
Practice: Tips and Examples
- Always use a suitable inline powder dissolver tailored to your specific liquid and powder types
- Ensure proper system setup after installation for optimal results
- Test with small batches first to experience the faster, cleaner process
