OAP Conditioner

The Optimal Absorption Process (OAP) mixer improves the absorbtion of steam and liquids by adjusting the paddles automatically during operation. With the OAP mixer you are able to reach a higher temperature of the product in combination with a higher liquid level.

Product description:

The OAP conditioning/mixing unit is a double wall build cylindrical chamber with inlets for the addition of steam and liquids. The housing has on one side two large inspectiondoors for an easy entrance to the conditionroom. For controlling the temperature during the conditioning and mixing process, the OAP is equipped with two PT-100 temperature probes.

The strong conditioningshaft, fixed in large bearings outside the mixerhouse and aligned in the heavy endcovers, secures the stable run. Inside the conditioningshaft are mounted 2 paddle adjustmentshafts for the movement of the paddles. The paddles are mounted with separate foundations and exchangeable blades. Each paddle is individually adjustable and exchangeable.

This construction allows the exchange of worn paddles without any readjustment. Regulation and adjusting of the angle of the paddles during operation is done through the outside hydraulic cylinder and the inside paddle adjustmentshaft. The angle of the paddles is monitored constantly in the cylinder and can be read on the display of the control box. The controller automatically adjusts the paddles during operation and controls the load of the motor to achieve the desired retentiontime.
