The
optimum
solution
for
Mixing
from
Boone and we took a mixer on trial. We tested it on every
type of mix we make because it mixes in a different way from
the ‘lift and throw’ type we had previously”. He went on “We
found the Boone mixer to be very quiet and stable in operation
compared to the older types.” Mixing times are around 3-4
minutes depending on recipe.
The HHBM features four mixing blades forming a double
interrupted spiral that create a criss-cross material flow and
the low-speed motor results in rapid, efficient mixing. The
‘short and tall’ mixer shape combined with the omega shaped
shell ensures all the mix is entrained by the blades.
The ability to clean the mixers thoroughly between batches is
very important, and JR Boone HHBM mixers excel here. The
patented mixer arms minimise adherence of the mix, and the
rotating trough discharge provides a complete discharge of
the mix. As Paul Riley observes: “The Boone mixers are easy to
clean, easy to wash down. Once they have been washed they
look like a new machine”.
The control panel HMI features a simple interface using a
hygienic, easily operated colour touch screen and holds all
the recipe data, including mix times and order of addition. The
system has the capability of being integrated within a factory
wide control system although presently the recipe data is
stored on a memory card and downloaded as required for the
seasons production.
The results have clearly been to Memory Lane’s liking, with
six JR Boone HHBM mixers already installed and a seventh on
order. As Paul Riley put it: “Robust, designed well and easy to
work on”.
