Overview

The mixer machine was designed to be used exclusively for the purpose of mixing food pastes or dough, with or without a vacuum. This mixer may only operate with foodstuffs with a temperature of between 0ºC and 40ºC. It may not be used with products which form compact blocks at low temperature, impeding the action of the mixing arms. It has a 150, 300, 600, 1000 or 1300 litre capacity, depending on the model, using the elevator, which allows the machine to be loaded using standard 200 litre trolleys (DIN9797).
The machine is powered by electrical energy, and its movement is controlled using electrical button pads. The movements of the lid, vat and elevator are powered using hydraulic devices. The movements of the mixer are directly controlled by speed reducing gears running with US FDA approved lubricant and powered by an electric gear-motor. The vacuum operation is achieved by means of a vacuum pump which can be operated from the control panel.
As option it is possible to supply CO2 temperature control system, variable mixing speed system and programmable automatic control.

Paddles
We able to supply three kind of paddles, each intended to mix specific products. On the left it is possible to find the Z, S and T construction paddles images. Contact our sales department in order to find extended information about the correct paddle for your specific product.

Controls
The machine base configuration has an IP65 manual push button control unit. This unit can be tilted for ease operation. Here we can find all the necessary push buttons to tilt the vat, lid and elevator. The mixing control push buttons are also included.
All safety button are included from safety emergency stop to safety bimanual control push buttons for product extraction from vat. It includes also a main power switch.
A machine built with a programmable controller, also IP65 protected, includes features for cycle control, time based programmable settings for mixing operation, pause, vacuum, air and CO2 venting. Safety operation alarms (vat, lid and elevator), service system survey and maintenance data information are standard features on any ASGO programmable controller.  Mixing speed setting, CO2 temperature range control settings are included according the respective option.
ASGO programmable controller brings full control over the machine systems.

Cryogenic (CO2) and stepless mixing speed
Cryogenic temperature control system can be added as optional. This optional provides product temperature control within user temperature range settings. The stainless lid includes one pneumatic controlled exhaustion valve, air venting windows and one observation window. Temperature reading is achieved by one PT100 temperature sensor.
Stepless mixing speed integrates one speed frequency inverter to control the main electric motor. Speed range starts from 15 to 45min-1.

Vacuum system
Optional vacuum system provides control over air-product mixture. Vacuum level can be set by one manual regulator and also observed at the vacuum gauge. Vacuum system includes a vacuum pump and product vacuum filter. This prevents pump damages. According to mixer model we can find vacuum pump capacities from 21m3/h to 100m3/h. Vacuum pump final pressure fine quality range is 0,5 mbar.

Cradle
This device carries the trolley into operation. It includes a safety clamping device and a tilt adjusting device. The clamping device avoids accidental trolley exit from cradle. The safety device automatically closes after the beginning of lifting operation and it opens again when it touches the ground. The tilt adjusting device adjusts the cradle according to the ground surface angle in order to ease up the entrance of the trolley.
