Liquid Powder Blenders NZ | Hygienic Powder Mixing
HD Process supplies hygienic liquid powder blenders for incorporating powders and other solids into liquids. The range covers shear-pump blenders, specialised equipment for gums and thickening agents, and mobile tabletop systems configured for different powder-mixing duties.
Typical applications include adding milk powder, sugar, starches, proteins, stabilisers and emulsifiers to compatible liquid products in dairy, food and beverage processing.
Shear-Pump Powder Induction
The standard blender uses a hygienic shear pump with a hopper and venturi powder-induction system. Once liquid circulation is established, opening the hopper valve allows the venturi to draw powder into the flowing liquid. The shear pump then disperses the powder as it passes through the pump casing.
The blender can recirculate product through a single tank for batch mixing or transfer it between tanks where a single-pass process is suitable.
HHQ Blender Sizes and Operating Ranges
The HHQ range includes several pump and hopper sizes for different liquid flow and powder intake requirements:
- Liquid flow rates from 10 to 60 m³/h
- Nominal powder intake rates from 2,000 to 9,000 kg/h
- Motor ratings from 3 to 22 kW
- 45 L or 65 L powder hoppers
- Maximum listed outlet pressure of 3 bar
- Clamp or threaded connection options
Powder intake and liquid flow depend on the material properties, viscosity and selected blender configuration. Available motor combinations cover maximum listed viscosities below 300 or 500 cP.
Standard, MixBlend and Mobile Configurations
Standard shear-pump blenders suit general powder incorporation, while the MixBlend is intended for smaller additions of gums, pectins and other thickening agents that require rapid dispersion. Mobile tabletop systems combine the blender, hopper, controls and optional supporting equipment on a compact skid.
