PRO-DO-MIX®, a historical company in the production of vertical and lateral agitators, is proud to announce the achievement of MOCA certification (certification for materials and objects in contact with food) for its vertical agitators. This certification, necessary for collaboration with the food industry, is an important milestone for our company.
The MOCA certification confirms that the materials and objects used by PRO-DO-MIX® in producing its agitators comply with European and national regulations regarding food safety.
MOCA is regulated by Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004, which establishes the general requirements for materials in contact with food, ensuring that they are safe and suitable for their intended use. Working with certified MOCA suppliers guarantees no food contamination, protecting consumer health.
PRO-DO-MIX® agitators are designed to meet the specific needs of the food industry, particularly for the mixing and homogenization of ingredients in the dairy industry and beyond. These devices are used for:
Thanks to MOCA certification, food companies that choose PRO-DO-MIX® can ensure compliance with food safety regulations while relying on the experience and innovation offered by a company specialized in industrial mixing.
The hygiene and sanitation of components inside the tank are fundamental in the food sector. It is also crucial to install mechanical or radial seals that prevent contact between the external atmosphere and the interior of the tank. At PRO-DO-MIX®, for vertical stirrers, we have engineered a special system with a radial mechanical seal that can be serviced even with the agitator in a vertical position. The shut-off system for removing the seal even with a full tank is standard for lateral mixers.
Choosing the correct vertical agitator is essential for optimizing mixing processes across various industrial sectors. Here are four key aspects to consider in the selection:
Flocculant mixing system with two-blade impeller. Thanks to its high hydrodynamic profile with wide blade surface, has the highest flow rate at the lowest peripheral speed. This design is aimed to prevent the fluid coming out from one blade to immediately meet the second blade.
Therefore, it is perfect when managing very delicate applications, where the fluid needs to be handled very gently and carefully. That is why Premium is specific for flocculation.
It can be manufactured with different diameters, 800 to 3000 mm.
A completely disassemblable option is available as well, to ease the entering through the tank manhole.
Three-blade impeller with high hydrodynamic profile. Within our industrial impeller models, it has the lowest torque for the same flow rate. Moreover, it can create the highest flow rate with the lowest peripheral speed.
It is perfect as flow-maker, for high head values in recirculation.
It can be manufactured with different diameters, 200 to 3500 mm.
A completely disassemblable option is available as well, to ease the entering through the tank manhole.
High-efficiency three-blade impeller with high hydrodynamic profile. Thanks to its high flow rate, it is particularly suitable for flash mixing, sludge and solid suspension, equalization, etc.
It can be manufactured with different diameters, 900 to 1500 mm.
A completely disassemblable option is available as well, to ease the entering through the tank manhole.
Three-blade impeller with high hydrodynamic profile. It is the “evolution” of Hurricane. Its internal velocity gradient, constant from the centre to the edge of the blade, allows the positioning of an impeller with large diameter very close to the bottom of the tank. That makes Evolution perfect for applications that require the mixer’s continuous operation during the total draw-off of the tank.
It can be manufactured with different diameters, 1650 to 3500 mm.
A completely disassemblable option is available as well, to ease the entering through the tank manhole.
Three-blade impeller with high hydrodynamic profile. Due to its special design, it can produce a centrifugal effect for which the impeller can be defined self-cleaning, thanks to this anti-clogging effect.
It is specific for nitrification/denitrification, anaerobic digestion, mixing in anoxic systems and other applications with presence of fibres.
It can be manufactured with different diameters, 1600 to 3500 mm.
A completely disassemblable option is available as well, to ease the entering through the tank manhole.
It is widely used in a broad range of applications due to its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Within Water Treatment, pitched blade impellers are perfect for polyelectrolyte preparation and maturation, primary neutralization and pH adjustment.
It can be manufactured with different diameters, 200 to 2000 mm.
A completely disassemblable option is available as well, to ease the entering through the tank manhole.
This helical type impeller is very versatile, generally installed in fast direct mixers. Very common in small preparations of chemicals.
It is manufactured from casting in proprietary moulds.
It can be manufactured with different diameters, 90 to 160 mm diameter.
Available in 2 material options, polypropylene (PP) and stainless steel (SS 316L).
Perfect when dealing with high viscosities, cowles agitators are typically used in paints or detergents industry. Their design, combined with the high shear, allow the product dispersion and foster a quick dissolution.
They can be manufactured with different diameters, 75 to 750 mm.
Different joint options are available.
Generally used within food & beverage and cosmetics industry to manage high viscosity products or to foster heat exchange.
It is common within the pharmaceutical industry as well, in processes such as crystallization.
Moreover, it is often used as universal rotor in small tanks for multi-stage applications.
The engineering and the manufacturing of this anchor type impeller are directly related to the tank features.
Plastic mixing impeller generally used within food farming industry, for fertilization and irrigation.
It is only available 130 mm diameter.
Manufactured with white polyethylene (PE).
