Boldt 1500Litre

• Blending various food ingredients such as sauces, doughs, and confectionery.
• Mixing pharmaceutical compounds and cosmetic formulations.
• Homogenising chemical solutions and industrial slurries.
• Processing dairy products like yoghurts and creams.
• Preparing animal feed and pet food mixtures.

Typical capacity

This unit is specified at 1500 litres, which is a substantial capacity for industrial applications. For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from several hundred to several thousand litres.

Power supply

Industrial mixers of this size typically require a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK and Europe, to handle the motor demands for mixing viscous materials.

Construction material

As stated, this unit is all stainless steel food grade, which is standard for equipment intended for food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Mixing mechanism

Boldt mixers commonly feature robust agitator designs, such as anchor, paddle, or propeller types, suitable for a range of viscosities and product types.

Vacuum capability

The inclusion of vacuum capability is common for processes requiring de-aeration, solvent recovery, or low-temperature mixing, preventing oxidation and improving product quality.

Lifting mechanism

A lift feature, as mentioned, typically refers to a hydraulic or pneumatic system for raising the mixing head or the vessel itself, facilitating discharge or cleaning.

Footprint

For a 1500-litre mixer, buyers should anticipate a significant floor space requirement, typically several square metres, plus additional space for access and maintenance.
