Key Takeaways “Turnkey” is an industrial engineering phrase that has as many definitions as it has applications. For our purposes here, a turnkey manufacturing system is one that is provided by a single supplier from design to commissioning. To add another layer onto our definition, turnkey can also refer to a system that breaks apart…
Three Key Takeaways While there isn’t a single figure that covers all mixing equipment on the market, most industrial process mixing systems are considered to be 20- to 30-year assets. It goes without saying that some systems will naturally fall under or over this range, both of which have a lot to do with how well…
Three Key Takeaways The pet food manufacturing market is a turbulent place these days, but in good ways. Pet food demand is through the roof, and customers are resoundingly interested in healthier, more nutritious products. Both market trends have no end in sight, and are putting pressure on manufacturers looking at scaling pet food production…
When it comes right down to it, pet food is made for animals, but is marketed and sold expressly to humans. In this way, pet food has two parallel functions in the market: to provide vital nutrition to pets while at the same time appealing to the sensibilities of pet owners. Now that you’re thinking…
As a leader in industrial or manufacturing processes, you spend your days thinking from an operational perspective. Contemplating production effectiveness, quality controls, demand forecasts and so on keep you occupied right up to the moment when a new capital project hits your desk. When such projects include equipment upgrades or complete new systems (such as…
While “high-intensity mixing” does not have a universal definition, it generally refers to a category of process mixing equipment that expends high amounts of energy and force to blend challenging products. As we look past this simple description, the details of high-intensity mixing start to widely differentiate between industries and applications. Let’s look at the…
When it comes time to invest in industrial product mixers and blenders, the topic of return on investment (ROI) is always front and center. Justifying a process equipment purchase is straightforward: Compare equipment cost against operating expense savings or profit margin gains, and select the purchase with the fastest payback. But what if we added…
For manufacturers of blended products faced with the good problem of needing to scale up their operation due to growing demand, the decision of what mixing process to harness couldn’t be more critical to their future success. At production volumes, mixing processes are often the most critical part of the manufacturing cycle, made up of…
We hate to give away the answer so quickly, but when it comes to figuring out the main reason why food processors choose industrial mixers for food production, it’s the nitty-gritty behind the answer that is most important; and we can’t wait to get to that part! The top reason why food manufacturers choose industrial…
