Powder feeding system PIC™

The PIC powder induction system provides rapid introduction and wetting out of dry solids and/or liquid ingredients. Using the venturi principle to create superior suction of dry or liquid materials, the PIC system utilizes an ergonomic waist-high hopper for the addition of all ingredients required in the mix and processes 50-200 pounds per minute depending on system settings and process conditions. Additional process benefits include: • Reduced operator injury • Reduced accidents • Fast ingredient addition • Reduced mix times • Improved yields The PIC™ System includes an ergonomic table and washdown control panel with a high performance powder suction pump that vacuum conveys from 3 to over 200 pounds per minute of any powder or solid. For materials that are easily dissolved or suspended, the system discharge could then be sent on to the next step in the process. If materials require shear to properly disperse, deagglomerate or emulsify, they can be recirculated through a batch tank with in-tank high shear mixer. Alternately, the material can be processed through a DynaShear or Boston Shearmill for in-line high shear mixing, without the need for a batch mixer. Basic Rules for Use • Maximum viscosity before or after ingredient introduction is 2500 cps. • Maximum allowable head on discharge side is 10 psi. If head loss exceeds recommended levels, a booster pump on the discharge piping should be installed. • Minimum incoming flow rate for the system is 35 GPM.
